Proinfancia and Empowering Action work closely with local churches in different communities. They strongly believe that the local church should serve their communities and reach out to people in need. Together with church leaders, they organize community outreach programs to serve the community and spread the Gospel message through word and deed.

Proinfancia provides a health and nutrition program in collaboration with nurses in the church community. The program serves families with young children, pregnant women, and the elderly who have health issues and are at risk of malnourishment. Proinfancia uses software to keep track of children who are malnourished and supports the families with food hampers and medication. Additionally, nurses visit the families regularly to conduct health check-ups.

Empowering Action organizes other community outreach programs, supporting church leaders and equipping them to reach out to their neighbors in the community. These programs include Bible School programs for children, community roundtable conversations, and house visits. Teams from our Canadian partners work alongside local churches to reach people in the community.

Proinfancia camp equips girls to achieve their goals

Proinfancia organized a three-day camp that allowed 64 girls to discover their life purpose and build a solid foundation to face the challenges of the future. At the end of the camp, the participants seemed more confident, motivated and empowered to achieve their goals, based on the word of truth “the Bible as a lighthouse”.  

During the camp they talked about God’s creation, the fall into sin by Adam and Eve, and redemption through Jesus Christ. They explored how the four fundamental relationships were established at the beginning and broken in the fall, and how Jesus came to restore those relationships with God, ourselves, others, and nature.  

Ana, our partner from batey Vasca, said, “I thank God for this time. Thanks to the wonderful team that made this time possible. We continue to pray that God completes the work in the girls and adults who were there.”
