This is a different one. She’s a mother and grandmother who lives in two places and helps one of her daughters run a store. She’s from Ayaviri, and that’s where we met her. In our attempt to understand the issues Ayavirians face, we stopped to talk to Dora and a friend who were sitting on a door stoop, and just asked them questions about the community and things they wished they could change. We were even able to share a bit about Jesus, and when we left, she asked that we come back the next day to share more. And we did. She listened intently as we shared with her how our sin keeps us from truly having a relationship with God who created us and died to take those sins away. In the days following, we spent more time with her, ate lunch there several days, and shared. She also has the store where it seems all of the women in town hang out at night. Pray that God would bend her heart towards Him and that she would surrender and follow Him as Lord—and share Him with the other women of Ayaviri!
