Dear Friends, their friends
I hope this message finds you well. I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support. Through this letter, I’d like to share some meaningful updates about the Pneuma Project, the youth involved, and a bit about my personal journey as well.
On a personal note, I continue to work as a psychotherapist alongside other professionals in a private practice, which I also manage as part of my income. In addition, I’ve been collaborating with staff at orphanages, helping train them in how to use artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. These tools are helping them stay more organized and bring new ideas into their work with children and teens.
I was also recently invited by the organization Word of Life to teach classes of our Transformation Academy program (by BlessBack ministries) to a group of 15 people, including missionaries and educators. These sessions cover topics such as identity and self-discovery, life and career preparation, effective communication, personal motivation, emotional and spiritual balance, resilience, active listening, and counseling. The goal is to help them identify their strengths, understand their boundaries, and grow in their roles within ministry work.
At the same time, I’m training as a volunteer in a program focused on the prevention and early detection of child sexual abuse. My role as a therapist will help support the team through professional tools in observation and listening.
Amid all of this, I make it a priority to maintain balance in my own life through regular physical activity, personal time, and spiritual care.
Now, about the young men in our home — Fredi, Fernando, José, and Gabriel — each of them remains committed to their daily responsibilities. They all have part-time jobs and are making steady progress in the Transformation Academy. So far, we've explored topics like spiritual gifts, personal strengths, vocational interests, personality types, emotional intelligence, self-management, and resilience.
It’s been amazing to witness how each of them is beginning to discover their identity and set clear goals for their future. For example:
Fredi has shown a strong interest in public speaking.
José is drawn to social work and wants to pursue entrepreneurship.
Fernando, with a logical and analytical mindset, has chosen to study programming.
Gabriel is aware of his personal limitations and prefers to serve in a support role rather than a leadership position.
We’ve now completed over 70% of the course, covering topics like goal setting, creative thinking, critical analysis, decision-making, problem-solving, and time and productivity management. We’re already seeing positive changes: increased self-awareness, clearer goals, and a more focused, persistent, and empowered attitude in each of them.
Thank you again for walking with us on this journey. Your support makes transformation possible.
