The first time I saw Coti she was in a dress, onstage, dancing a traditional Argentinian dance with 5 other of the YWAM staff to welcome us to their base.
Coti is a small person. She is close to my height, has dark hair, dark kind eyes, and a quick shy smile. Coti even laughs in a shy way.
Her voice and actions are quiet, yet faithful.
The first time I talked with Coti was on the way to get table clothes to set the tables. We chatted easily as we made our way along the undulating dirt path beneath the forest of eucalyptus trees that made up the majority of the property.
From that moment, shy yet brave little Coti and I were friends.
Coti says God found her when she was 13 during a time of turmoil in her family, but that she did not start to know Him or walk with Him until she was 15. At that time, due to the issues surrounding her family, she was struggling with depression and living a senseless life. She started to seek the Lord and told me that He totally saved her from the darkness she was falling into – including the occultism her father was trying to drag her into.
While I was with Coti I was a witness to her steadfast faith in God and His will for her. She encouraged me and prayed for me and the rest of my team. I’m so excited to see what God continues to do through her!
This post is my way of supporting her in her time of need.
Below I have a letter from Coti explaining her situation.
Please take time to read, consider partnering with her, and share her information!
My Little Story about why I am here in YWAM
Hello!!
How are you everyone?
I am María Constanza Kiffa, I am 25 years, and I am from Mendoza, Argentina.
I am working with YWAM (Young with A Mission) and I am student here.
I came here because God told me He is calling me to be a missionary in Asia.
I’m doing the Frontier Missions School that has 3 months of theoretical time and 3 months of practical time. In the first 3 months I had classes where the teachers taught us about missions and about the things that we will see in our practical time. After that, my classes mates and I will travel to Asia where we will apply all that what we learned in classes.
The plan is to go to Asia, India, and Thailand where I will preach and share God’s Word with the people “unreached”. The work that I will do is sharing with the families and spending time with children who don’t know God; and like this I will show Jesus and show his love for others.
I prepared games for children to learn about the biblical stories, and they will learn how to pray and about that God must take the first place in their hearts, values, etc. And with the families, I will talk about my testimony and how I started to walk with God. I will also pray for them and with them and I will help them with what they need in their village and houses; but always with the goal to preach the truth of God.
I am confident that we will have a special time there in Asia where we will see the powerful hand of God working in the life of the people and we will see a lot of people accepting the Lord.
My teammates have already left – but I am lacking the finances. I am selling my belongings and continue praying for the Lords provision because I believe that this is what He wants me to do.
So, if you feel that God spoke to you about partnering with me or because you like to support mission works, please contact to me by my phone number: +54 (3794)900761 or you can send financial support directly to me! (I have WhatsApp and Facebook too!)
The Cost of all of this is: 1800 for my flight ticket
plus, 2300 for the costs of my practical time in Asia,
in total it will be $4,100.
My Bank Name: Santander Rio
my account number: 148-406047/7
my special identification CBU: 0720148288000040604772
Any donated amount will help a lot – even if it is just a few dollars! I know that God will bless you abundantly for your support in this area! please help so that the gospel can be preach in Asia, they need it with urgency. Thank you so much.
Love, Coti
