October 24, 2019

RALEIGH, North Carolina, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The preacher and evangelist brother Johnny Andrade is a servant of the Lord. In the many years of his career in ministry he has stood out for his dedication, courage in the work of the Lord, carrying the glorious and transforming message through different cities and countries. Now Brother Andrade is carrying the message from heaven through his books, alerting his church about the times we have lived and the dangers that lurk the people of the Lord.

Johnny Andrade tells us: “I hope with all my heart that this book is a blessing for your life. In this book we want to alert the church of the Lord, playing trumpet against the lie of Satan and the errors of movements that arise daily as a result of these final days and that have infested and mined the people of the Lord; we are seeing that a majority of writers are only given the task of writing motivational things and extreme blessings for the human being and the church, but nothing to alert the people against the lies and deceptions of apostasy movements that have subtly gotten into the church of the Lord, and to meet the false ministers and rapacious wolves dressed as sheep, and to shout at people, so that they do not fall into the deep abysses of lies and doctrines of demons, in this book we talk about what looks at diary in the church, topics like:

Idolatry inside the house of God.
The great competition of titles.
Baal instead of God.
False anointing.
The truth will remain forever”

Published by New York City based Page Publishing, Johnny Andrade’s wonderful book Gods Under the Likeness of Man, enlighten our hearts and minds with warnings about the movements of apostasy that have subtly gotten into the church of the Lord.

Despite spending nearly $7 billion in annual U.S. sales, 69 percent of Hispanics report feeling that the beauty and personal grooming industry treats people their age as an afterthought, a new AARP survey has found.

The 2019 national survey, Latinos and Beauty as We Age: A Cultural Reflection, reveals that Hispanics aged 50 and over wish images in advertising and the media were more age-inclusive, and they are more favorable of brands that reflect people their age in advertising. The survey questioned nearly 700 Hispanics age 18 and older in the U.S. as part of a longer-term effort by AARP to shape a new image of aging in advertising, marketing and media.

“Hispanics stay just as involved with beauty and personal grooming as they age, and they want to see themselves at the forefront of product ads, not just as an afterthought,” says Yvette Peña, Vice President, AARP Multicultural Leadership Hispanic/Latino Audiences. “AARP shares these study findings to encourage beauty and personal care brands to be more age-inclusive in their product offerings and advertising.”

Beauty product manufacturers ought to take note. Compared to the 50-plus age cohort in the U.S. general population, Latinos aged 50 and older spend 84% more money and 38% more time and on beauty and personal grooming. Yet an overwhelming majority (88%) of Latina women aged 40 and older want to see more perimenopausal and menopausal beauty and personal grooming products, especially hair and skin care.

These are just a few of the findings uncovered by a new nationwide survey conducted by AARP.

Other key findings about Hispanics 50-plus include:

76% feel older people are under-represented in advertising.
84% say they would be more likely to buy from a brand that features people their age in its ads.
71% feel images portrayed in the media images are ageist.
76% would consider switching to a brand they feel represents their age.
60% look to keep up with trends, versus 24% of the general 50-plus.
61% agree it is fun keeping up with what is current or “cool,” versus 26% of general 50-plus.
57% agree social media has helped them find new beauty routine methods, versus 20% of the general 50-plus.
