Joy, tears, friendship, challenge… opportunities! That’s how I would describe the last two volunteer trainings we have had at Centro de Vida these past two weekends.
24 women participated in this training, and together, they represent about 15 churches from our city. I was in awe to see in the group a girl in the group who I met about 3 years ago, and I had the privilege to attend when she came as a client. When the training was over, we hugged each other for a while. There was so much emotion among all of us that nobody understood what only her and me understood. What a joy to be witness of what only God can do in the lives of people. I already see God working in her life right now and can’t wait to see more!
Also we all were very blessed to have Marisol with us. Marisol is a young lady from Santiago, Chile. She came to Bolivia for a couple weeks to get training on how to start a pregnancy center. Isn’t that awesome? We are enjoying filling her with as much information/training/materials as possible. It seems God is working within her heart in a very special way while she is here.
One of the biggest strengths of Bolivia is its location. Bolivia is very strategically located in South America, and we cannot stop to think about all the countries close to us who don’t have pregnancy centers; such as Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, etc. It is not an option, we must pray. At this point we are just dreaming about how God would use us to impact other countries around us. In fact, I was just talking with my Chairman Pável about all this; those who know him would say he is not just a dreamer, but also very practical. So, his question was: What would be our part to make this happen? It seems that Marisol is just the beginning of many more Marisols we want to reach.
Rejoice with us for these new Pro - Life warriors, rejoice with us for our clients and now co-collaborators in ministry; rejoice with us for Marisol and her plans to open a pregnancy center in Chile; rejoice with us for the opportunities given to Centro de Vida to expand its territory.
Thank you for dreaming with us and for helping us dream bigger than what seems possible. My question to you would be: What would be your part to make this all happen?
