“My wife became sick and continued getting weaker and weaker because of problems with her stomach. Since she has no teeth, liquids foods were all she was even able to try to eat. The doctors said she needed an operation, but the cost was so high it would be impossible for us to pay for it. Our lives had become nothing but desperation and suffering when we heard the women on the [Quichua Women of Hope] program talk about hope in the Lord. That night, we got on our knees. As we were praying, the Lord revealed to us that we needed to forgive one another, and that is exactly what we did. We cried out to God that he would take care of us and bless us. From that moment, strength and renewed energy filled my wife’s body. Since that day, she has been able to eat, travel and do any normal activities.” ~ Cesar, a Quichua Women of Hope listener in Ecuador

     Sumaj Pugyu, the Quichua name for Women of Hope, literally translates as a beautiful well of water that provides a permanent, life-giving supply. Since the program began airing in 2004, testimonies like this one from Cesar have greatly encouraged the production team, confirming that God is rescuing women both spiritually and physically through the programs. The production and broadcast are done in partnership with HCJB, the Voice of the Andes, airing via AM and shortwave. On shortwave, the program reaches Quichua speakers in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and parts of Venezuela.

     Quichua is one of four languages that is directly translated from the Spanish Women of Hope scripts instead of the English program, from which Spanish and other languages are translated globally. Together with Spanish, Quichua is one of seven languages through which Project Hannah is offering hope to women across Latin America.
