One comment
It all started on Instagram. Maya posted the Abun d'Bashmayo and wrote that she wished she could speak it perfectly. I commented, “I can teach you. It's my mother language.”
Our Story
Two women, one language, and the reason this place exists.
How it began
Every door opened
That one comment opened the door to everything. The interest grew, we started Zoom classes, then created a channel, and today we have over 1,500 students.
Maya and I have never even met in person, yet God brought us together in such a beautiful way. We are doing this for Jesus, and we truly believe He is the one who opened every door and made it grow.
Why we keep going
Through our classes we hear so many stories from people whose lives have been changed by this prayer. Some share their stories through tears. That is our biggest motivation to keep sharing it.
We didn't plan this. God did.
