About Gabriela

I'm 24 years old and didn't grow up in a Christian family. As a result of my parents getting divorced, I developed a violent and disruptive attitude. As a teenager, I was rebellious. I started to smoke, got involved in gangs, and broke curfew, among other things. But one day, I was invited to the Vacation Bible School of the church I now visit, and there, I won a scholarship for the Word of Life summer camp. I had a good time there but made no changes in my life. Three years later, the VBS teacher told me that this was the last time they gave me a scholarship to the camp and that it was time to make a decision in my life and my relationship with God. At that moment, I only cared about enjoying and having fun, but that year, definitely changed my life forever. During the bonfire that summer, I accepted Christ as my savior. I cried and said to the Lord: I don't know what plan you have with my life but come into my heart and use me for your Glory.
Until that moment, I didn't know what I had to do with my life. I felt like human garbage. After two weeks, a godly woman disciple me with love and patience. The year after, I had the chance to study for a year in the Discipleship Training Program (CCM) of Word of Life Dominican Republic. The following year I studied online at the WOL Argentina's Bible Institute.
I'm currently studying sign language since I desire to preach the Gospel to deaf people, given the lack of opportunities they have in the country of being evangelized. It will be a blessing to win them for Christ.
And when I thought I was not worthy, I ran into the arms of my Christ, who came to my encounter and saved me. I thank the Lord for the privilege of serving Him.

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1
