Andrea, Bolivia

Before her family came to faith, Andrea was raised in a fashion representative of the experience of many of the Quechua women living on the Bolivian Alti Plano. She was illiterate and afraid with a low self-esteem. She shares, “When I couldn’t read I felt stupid, like an animal. There were other girls who could read and they could go places because they could read the signs. I was afraid to go anywhere. I had a very low opinion of myself. I didn’t know how to have confidence around men and so they would humiliate me.” After her father became a Christian, Andrea began to attend church where she learned about the Quechua Literacy Program. Motivated to learn how to read the Bible and church hymn books, Andrea enrolled in the classes and began studying. As she progressed through the literacy course her self-esteem began to strengthen while her insecurities diminished. Now Andrea encourages other women, “If I can learn to read, you can learn to read. I now have more confidence than many Quechua men. I feel that whatever God wants me to do I will be able to do it.”
