Dorcas Hernandez Asked God to Take Her to the ‘Great Nation of the United States,’ Now She’s Running for Office
FloridaJolt.com ^ | 10/27/22 | John Parker

Dorcas Hernández escaped death at the hands of Peru’s vicious Shining Path, who wanted to assassinate her father. Hernandez was twelve years old at the time. Now she’s an American citizen who loves her country and wants to represent Fl. House District 92.

While Hernandez may be running for office in Florida, like many Floridians, it isn’t where she’s from originally. Hernandez was born in La Oroya, Peru, in the Andes mountains. Her parents were both pastors in the Christian missionary Alliance Church. Hernandez told the Florida Jolt that “I grew up in a home where faith and values were very, very strong in our family.”

However, the government of Peru didn’t share those beliefs.

“We had the worst experience with communists and socialists. I grew up in a restricted nation where the government took all our liberties. And the worst was the persecution we faced daily. Hernandez said, referencing her family’s Christian values.

She should focus on sharing and ministry. Christians these days shouldn’t be heading to politics.

Thank you Jacvin, for posting this.
Now THIS is who we want our immigrants to be: Appreciative, Hard Working and Assimilative.

Good for her. We need people like her to keep pulling the Latino vote our way. People who have actual experience with socialism and leftist totalitarianism never go squishy.

Disagree with you; if she holds to God’s standards, she’ll be a brighter, more visible light when in office. God bless her; America desperately needs leaders of Faith.

Are there other jobs that you think Christians could hold without violating our duty to God, or should we be strictly limited to work within the Church?

I checked the article; almost got to the end of the story before the author identified the candidate as “joined the Republican party”. How non-partisan.

In the Bible, Dorcas (Tabitha) was known for her ‘good works and acts of mercy”. Sounds like this lady is living up to her name. My cousin, Dorcas, does, too.

Long and complex subject, and I can tell from the comments already that the subject is going to go over a few heads.

I have a long drive to get out of this lousy town of Fort Nelson, so I’ll leave you all to it.

If Christians hadn’t been involved in politics, we probably wouldn’t have a United States of America. At least not as it was constituted.

Yea, I heard some idiot preaching a sermon recently on that same topic. He was completely ignorant on the role of Christians in our Republic.

When we ignore evil in our midst, we will soon be overcome by that evil.

Because ignorant Christians refuse participate in politics, the arts, journalism etc, Satan has taken his hold. That’s no reason to quit.

And by the way, why are you wasting your time here on FR and not preaching in the streets?

She is what America was (and should be) made of. I’m pretty sure lots of folks looked down on my Irish grandfather, too; all the while considering themselves ‘patriots’ and ‘good Christians.

“Now THIS is who we want our immigrants to be: Appreciative, Hard Working and Assimilative.”

So far no one has dared suggest a plan for the 2 million plus invaders Biden has brought into the US this year alone. But many of them are fleeing socialist hellholes. The Conservative movement in the US needs to start preaching to them about how the ‘Rat Party is using them to destroy the US and turn it into the kind of hellhole they just left.

The best way to stop “illegal immigration” may be to start mobilizing these newcomers as a righteous force against socialism and communism. As long as they are here, make the ‘Rats regret everyone of them. Then the ‘Rats will demand an end to illegal immigration.

Rather short sighted, but I’ll consider who is commenting
