Graduation Adult Education

7 Adult ‘CEBA’ students, an adult education program that we host in Brazos Abiertos, received their Secondary School certificate. Which they celebrated with a ceremony, organised by themselves.

Sunday November 24th was a special day focused on community. A beautifull environment to spend time with each other and to strengthen each other. We were gratefull that we could baptize 2 women, who each one could share a powerfull testimony from how deep they came to get to place where they are now. Another victory for the Kingdom!

The yearly Brazos Abiertos event

The so called ´feria´ is held every year to raise funds for the next year school books of the children who study with us. The parents don´t have the means for it, but help out during this day, preparing food, managing games, etc. And besides a usefull event, it´s a lot of fun for the whole community! Inflabables, games for the whole family, wheel of fortune and much more. Also this yeas has been a huge success, thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the preparation and on the day itself!

Testimonial

Ladies in action!

It was 5 years ago, since we first started our women’s club; a workshop to add a little light to their lives and elevate their self-esteem. In a class room of the preschool during their break, the women started to learn various new things.

´I never knew that I was capable to make anything which would be liked by another person´. One of the many comments we heard, which indicated to us that we are on the right track. Today we offer many workshops (in their own rooms!) like knitting, sewing, handiwork and kitchen abilities and the amount of women participating has increased a lot as well! Some of them help out as assistants and teach others. Other women are working on orders from companies. When God starts to illuminate the gifts one has, amazing things can happen!

Lucia, mom of 10 children and in charge of cleaning at Brazos Abiertos

I arrived at Brazos Abiertos in 2012, cause of my little daughter. I needed a place for her to study and found it there. From that time on, my life changed. Mi life and that of my children was very sad, caused by all the troubles we had to face in our home. One day, my daughter’s teacher invited me to have conversation. I found a place where I could share my sorrows and receive counseling. They shared with me about the hope there is and that God had a plan with my life. I knew God, but more in a religious way. That started changing into having a relationship with Him. “How my life has changed? Well, in the way I’m acting and in the way I see my life. If there’s a problem, it doesn’t overwhelm me anymore, cause I know God is there to help me out and that He’s in control. I’m thankful for Brazos Abiertos; for the job they gave me. For me it’s a way of serving God: doing the cleaning very well and with love. Besides that I’m thankful for the help my children receive. One of them recently finished his career and found a job, thanks to the sponsors they found him.”
