My name is Richard de Vera. I was born and raised in Oakland, California. I worked as an EMT in Alameda County and was in the healthcare field for many years. I wanted to be a firefighter, but God had to change my plans. Jude 1:23 talks about snatching others from the fire and save them. This is now my lane with Christ. I believe the “gifts of the Spirit” are still active since it is Biblical and He uses me in them. Hopefully, you can be encouraged on my website/social media and feel free to reach out if needed. God bless!
