Pastor Dennis Diaz is a true testimony of God’s restorative power. Growing up locally, in Oxnard, he was seen by many as the least likely of people to lead a fruitful life. But because of the power of God’s Word his life was transformed completely. He now lives to bring others to the same saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and leading them to know the covenant relationship we can have with Him. Pastor Dennis has been serving Love International for over 35 years. He is the father of four children and 12 grandchildren.

The early years of Apostle Lydia’s ministry were spent on the streets of Oxnard and Santa Paula. Countless drug addicts, abused, homeless and neglected members of the community were reached by the love of Christ. She began teaching bible studies in 1976. Her fruitful ministry flourished and the bible studies soon grew into a congregation. By 1981, the church was established. Though she is now the apostle of a diverse and growing church, her heart remains with the lost and broken with whom she initially began her ministry. It is the heart of God in her to reach the lost and hurting and to prepare the present and future church to go forth in the anointing that breaks the strongholds of bondage.
