I will be living and working in La Plata, Argentina, which is just an hour south of Buenos Aires. It is a university city, and my first placement, San Timoteo Congregación, is a church who ministers to college students. I will be joining them in their young adult ministries and aiding in plans for a new homeless ministry. I will be living in a student residence connected to the church (sound familiar?).
My second placement is a comedor which is a safe space where children in situations of poverty can study, play, snack, and be kids. It sounds like I will be doing work similar to what I did with La Casa de Panchita in Lima.
Basically, this is all very exciting news and I am relieved that it somehow fits me so well. I'm looking forward to meeting my new friends and family!
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” Luke 18:29-30
