We are ending this mission of the Fraternidade with a lot of joy in the heart, seeing that the seeds that we have planted are growing and attracting other souls to service. We leave with a peaceful heart and very happy for we have been able to give some human dignity to these brothers and sisters”, continued Satva.

“We have had a day that to us was a crowning of the second part of the mission, when we see this place manifested, and, what is most important, we see the Venezuelan brothers and sisters trusting us. It became very clear to some authorities that this trust permitted the opening of this place in the way it happened”, said Clara, a missionary of the Fraternidade.
