About Vilma

When I share my testimony I can only thank God for giving me the opportunity to know Him as my Savior at the age of 13 years old. I received Christ as my Savior, but I did not grow in the Lord. One day, my brother attended a Word of Life camp and became involved in a Bible Club. He invited me to the BC and the missionaries there showed me the love of Christ and a different way to live the Christian life.

By that time I was in college studying medicine, I got involved serving God. In my heart grew the desire to serve God full time. It was not easy to tell to my parents that I had made the decision to leave the medical career, but I knew that it was what God wanted for me.

In 1998 I left to Argentina. I spent 3 wonderful years studying the Word of God. God confirmed the desire of my heart to serve Him full time. I graduated from the Bible Institute and returned to my country to become part of the Word of Life Costa Rica staff.

Today, I have the privilege of serving Christ for 14 years. My desire is to influence the lives of girls through the Word of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10
