Dapfnne LLaja with a special order

And she likes to carry it out

The first Diospi Suyana Youth Festival is scheduled to take place at the end of April. Many employees are involved in the planning and give their best. But whether, the event will be possible at all in these uncertain times, only God knows. One more reason to ask the Most High for protection and blessing.

Dapfnne Llaja has already worked in the administration of the hospital for six years. She is organized, helpful and kind. When I asked her on Monday if she could lead a weekly prayer group specifically for the youth days, she immediately agreed. As she told me, she had studied the subject of prayer intensively the week before.

Faith is important to our Peruvian employee. Why actually?

…Dapfnne is born in a Catholic family. As it should be, she is baptized in the first week of life. Her godfather is a chronic alcoholic who doesn’t have much to do with God and church. But one day her godfather meets a congregation of committed Christians. The man decides to live under God’s guidance and within a very short time becomes free from his alcohol addiction. What was important to him before has lost its value. Now he lives for God. Almost naturally, he takes the little steamnee with him to his new church community. The girl is just 5, 6 years old. She likes to go to Sunday school and hear that God loves everyone, including her. Dapfnne’s early childhood is not easy. She suffers from asthma and when the attacks occur, she struggles desperately for air. But eventually she got rid of the disease.

In a year-end service, the pastor asks who is thankful to God for something special. Dapfnne reports. “I don’t have asthma anymore!” says the eight-year-old, beaming with joy.

Dapfnne looks back today and says, “Somehow that night was my beginning with God!” A good 20 years have passed and faith is the basis of all aspects of their life planning. Tomorrow, Thursday, she will invite for the first time to a prayer meeting: Keyword: Youth Festival. And if many pray, it will surely turn out well. Despite the crises and uncertainty. /KDJ
