In our previous post, we shared the news that Kiovel had graduated. We are equally delighted to inform you that Marianni Florencia Ferreras graduated last month as a psychologist. Marianni originally hails from Neiba and has overcome great obstacles to reach this milestone in her life. With the help of Breath of Life and the team that God provided her, she has not only achieved this professional victory but also found salvation through the cross of Jesus - both in this life and eternally. Marianni wanted to express her gratitude with the following words:
"Today, as I pen these words, my heart brims with gratitude, with the highest praise directed towards the Almighty for His unwavering guidance along my journey. In this moment of reflection, I am compelled to extend my deepest appreciation, particularly to Breath of Life International, whose steadfast support has transformed their institution into a sanctuary, a place I now gratefully call home.
To José Martínez, whose tireless dedication has been a beacon of inspiration, and to Henry Montero, whose belief in me opened doors I never thought possible, I offer heartfelt thanks. I am equally indebted to Doña Maria Mejia, whose wisdom and nurturing spirit have left an indelible mark on my soul.
Yet, my gratitude extends beyond individuals to encompass the collective support of mentors and leaders, each contributing to my growth and development. Among them, my mentor, Ycelsa Celestino, stands out for her unwavering commitment and profound impact on my spiritual and personal journey.
To my Breath of Life siblings, both sisters and brothers alike, your solidarity and companionship have been a source of strength and comfort. Each interaction, each shared moment, has enriched my life in ways I cannot adequately express.
And to my beloved parents, whose love knows no bounds, and to God, whose divine grace has illuminated my path, I owe everything. It is through your guidance, your sacrifices, and your unwavering support that I stand where I am today, filled with gratitude and humility.
In closing, I offer my heartfelt thanks to all who have touched my life, shaping me into the person I am today. May our collective journey continue to be marked by love, compassion, and boundless gratitude." (Marianni)
Please continue to pray for Marianni as she finds a job and continue to serve Christ. She is now taking a leadership role in organizing this summer short-term trips. She would like to work for Breath of Life fulltime working with our students and community development. Please pray that God will lead this path and provide what it is needed for her to take on this role or another job.
Once again, we join Marianni in thanking God and each you from the bottom of our hearts for investing in Breath of Life and making it possible for these students to obtain a professional, received the gospel, become disciple makers and leaders and impact their communities and moving the kingdom of God forward. Your giving of your time, talent and treasures in Breath of Life is transforming lives and communities. The cross of Jesus makes all of the difference.
