A Thought from Massandiana

“To me, Vida Plena means a source of knowledge, personal growth, and a supportive community that has shaped my understanding of a fulfilling life. Also, I see Vida Plena as my Family, because it has become a place where I feel understood and cared for.”

A Word from Heidy

“Vida plena holds great significance in my personal life, and even more in my relationship with God, as it is the result of a prayer answered. As a person, it has allowed me to develop areas such as leadership, creativity, communication, self-control, organization, planning, and something that used to be difficult for me: teamwork.

I can affirm that Vida Plena is part of the step the Lord has placed on my path to continue growing as a Christian, and through each of these areas, which are still in the process of development, God continues to shape the character He desires in me.

Something very valuable is that I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful people who, without knowing it, brighten my heart every day and make me feel valuable and loved. Additionally, here I have the opportunity to serve and help others grow alongside me, thus fulfilling His purpose in my life.”
