You may want to know why the YWCA and how does this connect with Latin America Missions.
Over a month ago I accepted a position at YMCA of The USA. I will be working nationally with local Y's to implement policy change to promote health and well being. My focus will be on health equity. The main goal is to move beyond just educating individuals to make health choices but ensuring healthy choices are available to individuals in their community. The emphasis is on underserved populations and racially diverse communities.
YWCA and YMCA has a profound presence internationally. One of the many reasons I am so excited about my new role at the Y is the ability to work with diverse communities including the Latino community both nationally and internationally.
The work of the Y aligns wonderfully with the work of LAM. This week of prayer is an opportunity to focus on the work of LAM in Latin America with a focus on women. It a beautiful marriage between the work Rob and I share mutually.
Thank you once again for joining us!
Starting on Monday the 13th a new blog will be posted everyday for 5 days with a shared devotional and a LAM program hightlight. Feel free to respond with comments directly on the blog.
Know that you will be joined by other strong, committed, faithful women praying for our sisters, mothers, grandmothers and daughters all over the world!
