Master Answers All Prayers
By Bolivia Relief Team (Originally in English)
In Santa Cruz, the team learned that those affected by the floods already had enough food, so they handed out many SOS and Alternative Living flyers to people at the bus station and in the city center. After reading the flyers many recipients were grateful for the materials, while others asked where they could find more information as they were concerned about the world’s critical climate situation.
The relief team members give heartfelt thanks to Master
for the opportunity to share Her love with the people of Bolivia who
really needed it and hope they can also feel this Love deep within
their hearts.

In response to Master’s instructions, on February 7, 2008, members of the Disaster Relief Team from the USA and Costa Rica traveled to Bolivia to help victims of the country’s recent torrential floods, bringing with them Master’s loving concern and US$10,000 contribution.
In the Council of Trinidad, the team contacted the President of the Red Cross, Doctor Cesar Ligeron, who arranged for them to visit communities in need of assistance. There, the initiates learned that the local people were in urgent need of food, especially milk for the children. The victims said that they had been praying very hard and added, “God always listens to our prayers and it is true because now you are here.” The team then bought the requested food such as rice, beans and milk, and with the help of 20 marines at the Infantry Battalion of Marina quickly packed the items into relief packages. The marines told the initiates that it was a good experience to work with a group that genuinely cares for and loves others.
Then the team members sincerely prayed to Master to guide them to the neediest people, and that morning a military official, Colonel Edwin Quintana, gave them a list of 800 flood-affected families. The initiates next distributed the food to these families, many of which had elderly members who were surprised and touched by the relief team’s consideration and overwhelmingly grateful to Master for remembering them and answering their prayers. To the communities that they couldn’t reach directly, the team entrusted the food packs to Father Maximiliano Noe for further distribution.
