This edition has incorporated some more details about the persons whose life stories are presented. This book exposes a pending debt to fill an existing gap in the historic area. That debt continues to be to recognize the fervour and enthusiasm to communicate the Gospel that guided many women. These women dedicated their lives in a self-sacrificing and laborious way to contribute to establish and strengthen the spreading of the Adventists beliefs in the countries that make up the present South American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
This work recounts the story of some of those women. All of them have been women of faith, with their struggles and heartaches, but also with hope and victories in Christ. Their lives, their dedication and their leadership inspired in others an intense longing to be sons and daughters of God. Their passion for doing good and honouring God gave fruits that today leave us indebted to them.
It is the author’s desire that this book doesn’t just fill a historic void, but that it motivates and inspires the development of all the potential of the woman filled with the Spirit of God that she may reflect His grace and mercy towards human beings.
