GUARD YOUR HEART MINISTRIES

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life
-- Proverbs 4:23 –

Vision/Mission

Guard Your Heart Ministries is a family ministry founded by Pastor Samuel Munoz Jr., a Christian living with AIDS, and his loving wife Maria Munoz who is not HIV/AIDS positive. Pastor Samuel Munoz Jr. is a Licensed Pastor dedicated to bring help and encouragement to those struggling with and whose lives have been impacted by sexual sin and issues of the heart through our testimonies of personal and spiritual restoration. We are being obedient to God's call to serve Him and to share the Hope, Grace and Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to all. Our family fellowships at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ which is our home Church.

Our name taken from Proverbs 4:23, reflects the power of our Lord Jesus Christ working through our lives. We understand that sexual sin is an issue that has a stronghold on many lives and we know through personal experience that the grace Jesus demonstrated towards us is the key to breaking this stronghold and the answer to break free from this sin.

This ministry is available to share its testimonies through the doors God opens for us to be heard. Guard Your Heart Ministry will never disclose anyone's information personally shared and will ensure the strictest confidentiality. We have a loving heart dedicated to bring help and encouragement to those struggling with sexual sin and people with HIV/AIDS, their families, friends, and caregivers. Our primary goal is to provide a sense of trust and confidentiality with the individuals and to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer Requests and Ministry Needs

This ministry is seeking God's strength to continue to carry on His work. Pastor Sam is disabled and suffers with numerous health conditions. We need faithful prayers for good health for Pastor Sam as he reaches out to those who need him. The ministry is also seeking prayer to be able to continue to meet the financial costs of travel associated with the ministry. Continue to pray that God will provide for the finances the ministry needs for copying, purchasing of books, materials and mailings which Pastor Sam does with his own money. Guard Your Heart Ministries does not receive any monies for the work we do and can not provide financial assistance. The ministry can steer individuals to Federal/State agencies as well as Churches that can provide help with various needs through the contacts and information we gathered over the past few years.

I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done. -- Psalm 118:17

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish
but have eternal life. -- John 3:16
