Maria Rudas, at the age of 72, is an inspiration to all who know her. Sadly, for many of the women in and around Cajamarca, the hardship she has endured is not so exceptional.

‘At the age of 31 she was widowed and left to raise seven children alone. She had to work thirteen hours a day washing clothes and cleaning houses. Thanks to her hard work, five of her seven children finished secondary school.’

Recently, through studies run by Warmis, Maria gave her life to Christ Recently, through studies run by Warmis, Maria gave her life to Christ. Knowing God has brought her a lot of peace. More recently, her daughters have given their lives to Christ as well.

This change has transformed her life This change has transformed her life. Now she is helping others in the same situation. She prays with them and supports them in their struggles.

PRAYER Thank God that Maria has given her life to Christ Pray for women like her, who don’t have a livelihood to fall back on Notes to leader: People could pray in small groups, or you could lead them in a time of intercession
