500 Souls, One Faithful God

To all who subscribed, thank you, dear friends,
Your support makes this man’s dream ascend.

It started with a whisper,
Just a thought within my heart
A space to share what stirred my soul,
But I didn’t know where to start.


The voice of doubt grew louder,
My fears said, “Who would care?”
But God, in all His Mercy,
Said, “Child, I’ll meet you there.”


So trembling hands began to write,
And prayers became each post.
I didn’t seek for numbers,
Just to glorify the Host.


A blog, so small and humble,
Now five hundred hearts have found
Not me, but something greater
Where grace and truth abound.

You liked, you shared, you followed,
You reached across the screen.
And slowly, strangers turned to friends,
And faith filled up between.


The ones I thought would cheer me on
Were silent in their ways,
But God sent you instead to be
The echo of His praise.

He knew I’d need encouragement,
He knew the nights I’d cry.
He saw the seeds that doubt had sown,
And still said, “Let’s try.”

Each comment held more meaning
Than words alone could say.
Each soul who stopped and lingered
Helped light another day.

You didn’t just read stories
You helped me see the thread:
That every gift we offer up
Can raise dry bones from dead.

Because what we write in faith and truth,
When given to the King,
Will travel far beyond ourselves
And make the Heavens sing.


So, thank you for your presence here,
Your time, your love, your grace.
You’ve reminded me that even small
Can shake the deepest place.

This journey isn’t finished
We’ve only just begun.
Five hundred hearts together now,
Still led by God the Son.


And may this always be the goal,
No matter what we gain:
To lift His Name above our own,
In sunshine and in rain.


So whether thousands come to read,
Or just a faithful few
I’ll write until He says, “Well done,”
Because I write for You.


To God be All the Glory,

Forever and always. Amen 🙏

    Hi Willie. Blessings to you.
    Below is a caution about a predatory blogger here at WordPress who goes by “The Christian Tech-Nerd.”

    Congratulations Willie! This is a major milestone. This right there is the continued construction of your ministry. The important thing is that this is not jusy any ministry. It’s driven by the Almighty God. He has equipped you with the gift and you chose to use it for His glory instead of hiding it under a rock. For that, I commend you. Keep sharing the powerful messages that the Lord has laid on your heart. God bless you!

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
