Birthday Celebration
Last month we celebrated life at the center. It was the birthday of one of the babies whose mother was abortion minded when she was expecting her. What an honor
when we were asked if she could celebrate her first birthday with us.
I remember so clearly when Cynthia (Our Client’ director) shared with me for the first time (Approximately 19 months ago) about this case. She was returning to Centro de Vida from the closest clinic. She took the girl to the clinic for an ultrasound and they both were walking in silence after the ultrasound test. Cynthia was so excited about what she saw on the screen, that suddenly she knew Rosario was going to carry the baby, so she asked: “What are you gonna name your baby”, “Andrea” Rosario replied. “Andrea? That’s a beautiful name, I would name my baby
girl Andrea too if I had one” Cynthia said. That was more of a confirmation than what she was expecting to hear. Andrea was going to born. Cynthia was being honest when she said that if she had a baby girl she would name her Andrea.
At Andrea’s birthday came also Heidi. Heidi is Rosario’s best friend and roommate and is part of our discipleship program. She shared with us one of the most beautiful prayers I have ever heard. I wish I could share with you everything she said word by word. I wish I could remind all of it. It was a humble prayer.
Of thanksgiving of how much Andrea’s presence in their lives helped her to become better people as they turned to God.
Please, celebrate with God for being the life-giver, celebrate with us for Andrea’s life.
Pray for more Andrea’s to be born, for more Heidi’s to be convince of God’s work in their lives. And, consider what you can invest financially this month to advance the life-giving work in Bolivia. Thank you for standing next to us in the battle for life.
