Partner Spotlight: Iglesia Vida Nueva – A Church on Mission in Tampa Bay
At Loving Hands For You, our heart beats to empower and uplift individuals, charitable causes, and faith-based organizations that are making a difference. Today, we are proud to spotlight one such ministry—Iglesia Vida Nueva (IVN)—a growing multicultural church transforming lives in Town N Country, Florida, a suburb of Tampa.
“At IVN, we’re more than a church—we are a family.”
— Erica and Edgar Camarena
A Vision Fueled by Purpose
Iglesia Vida Nueva was founded as a North American Missions church through the United Pentecostal Church International. From day one, IVN has been more than a place of worship—it's a community of believers dedicated to equipping families, helping individuals realize their God-given potential, and declaring the name of Jesus to the world.
With a bold vision to launch 2,500 house churches across the Tampa Bay Area and beyond, IVN is bringing the gospel directly into homes and hearts—reaching those who might never step into a traditional church building.
This year marks IVN’s 4th anniversary, and the momentum is only growing.
Meet the Founders: Edgar and Erica Camarena
The heartbeat behind Iglesia Vida Nueva is the passionate leadership of Edgar and Erica Camarena. Their story is one of deep faith and grassroots ministry. Beginning with nothing but a call from God, they stepped out to serve their community with love, prayer, and determination.
Thanks to a $600 outreach grant provided to them through Loving Hands For You, Edgar and Erica were able to purchase essential tools and resources to expand their evangelistic work. From distributing materials to hosting small group gatherings, every dollar has been maximized for kingdom impact.
The Camarenas continue to lead with the belief that church is not just a building—it’s a family. And that family is growing daily.
