Nitza Salazar grew up Adventist. As a “troubled teen” her relationship with God really strengthened as she attended an Adventist school — and in her young adult years she was fully committed to serving Him. She didn’t know that would one day involve working with special needs children and creating a program for them and their families to participate in a one-of-a-kind, inclusive Christmas program where the kids could use their talents to shine. Salazar is featured on the July-August 2024 Adventist Journey magazine.
