When Vilda Fretel Asencios, a single mom of four, joined Inspiradas por Cristo (“inspired by Christ”) savings group a few years ago, she saw the new opportunities that it would open to her. Supported by Comas CMA Church, HOPE International’s partner in Peru, the group brought together neighbors in Vilda’s community to pray, worship, receive training, and save money together.
As Vilda and the other group members have grown closer to Christ and each other, they’ve shared their dreams for the future, along with their fears. Both often centered around those they care about most: their children.
