One Woman’s Testimony from the New Life Family Center:
Venancia is a struggling young widow with a small child. After the 1994 chidlren, she was left to care for her brother’s and sister’s 3 children, as well. She and her family live in a dirt-floored mud house near the Dream Center. Before coming to New Life Family Center, Venancia’s life was very unrewarding, as all her time was spent striving to get food. She was hopeless. In 2002, she married, but her husband got ill and died in 2005. Soon after his death, she also got ill and discovered that she had HIV-AIDS. It is assumed that her late husband died from HIV-AIDS. Through this hopelessness, though, she discovered Christ, made Him her personal savior and is now an active member of New Life Bible Church! Because someone like you cared enough to sponsor her, Venancia now is a part of the Dream. Now, she is making a small garden to help provide food for her family. She is able to sell some of the things that she has learned to make in the tailoring class. And, a friend of hers has two sewing machines and sometimes lets her use one to supplement her earnings. Venancia is excited to begin her internship and show the knowledge and ability that she has gained in the program. She is also nervous that a customer may bring her something she doesn’t know how to make; she knows that she has a lot more to learn. Once finished with the program Venancia is looking forward to providing for her family. Please pray that she will do well in her internship and will be able to find a job after graduating from the program!
