Seen, Known, & Loved into Adulthood | An Update from Bolivia
We continually share the hope we have in Jesus with the orphaned young adults we serve in Bolivia. We hope and pray each of them will grasp the love Jesus showed on the cross and realize they are His prized possession.
As always, don’t forget to check out the encouraging story and prayer requests below.
—Bolivia Team
Sara and her sisters grew up in a children’s home.
After aging out, they were able to pursue a college education. Their accomplishments are impressive and inspire the other orphaned young adults our team in Bolivia serves today.
A few months ago, our team invited Sara* and her sisters out for a meal to celebrate Christmas. The young women enjoyed the good food and time together. As they finished their meals, our team in Bolivia gave each of them a gift.
A ministry leader shares—
“We wanted to remind Sara and her sisters that they are not alone and that God continues to care for them, using believers across the world!”
When the girls received their gifts, they were moved to tears, not because of the gift itself, but because even after achieving great success, they still had a desire in their hearts to be seen, known, and loved.
Through her tears, Sara exclaimed—“I can’t believe someone would think to give me a gift, even though I’m no longer a child.”
No matter how old or how long their list of accomplishments, there is still a need to be loved.
The gifts to Sara and her sisters were simply a vessel to share how loved they are by their Heavenly Father.
At Lifesong, we stand by a 4-part pledge to the children we serve. The fourth part of the pledge affirms our commitment to providing orphaned young adults with continued love and support as they transition into adult living.
Be taught the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ
Not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter
Receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future
Experience continued love and support while transitioning into adult living
While Sara and her sisters may never have known the love of a biological or adoptive family, they are loved by God’s family, the Church. They don’t have to face adulthood alone as other brothers and sisters in Christ come alongside them through life.
*Names have been changed to protect the identities of the children we serve.
