During the past few months, a women’s ministry, led by Jan Waldrop, has been birthed at Agua Viva for the women of the community. Jan is a retired teacher from Tennessee who has also spent her life serving in missions with her husband. She moved here to help with our ministry while her husband continues to travel and work and the seminary.
The women gather twice a month and participate in a variety of workshops like cooking classes, exercise and art projects. This has provided us an opportunity to minister in the lives of these women as they share details of their life struggles.
These workshops also help us build bonds with the community members. They get to hear about and SEE the love of Christ. It has proven to be a great help in breaking down the barriers of some in the community who are resistant to our message.
Please pray that this group will continue to grow in number and especially that they may be receptive to the power of God in their lives.
