“Hello, my name is Bridgette Ciordella Primus.”
“Hello my name is DebyChuquimia.”
I'm a missionary working with AVS.
“I’m serving as an AVS teacher in Dharma Putra Adventist School, Jakarta, Indonesia.”
“I mainly teach English and work with the little ones.”
Adventist Volunteer Service, or AVS, facilitates church members’ volunteer service worldwide. Deby from Bolivia and Bridgette from Canada, share a passion for volunteering. Bridgette's past experiences have influenced her significantly.
“So the reason why I became a missionary is that, at the age of six, I was a homeless child, and I promised myself that no child should ever feel unwanted or unloved. And since that time, I dedicated myself to being a missionary.”
Deby and Bridgette’s commitment to their students is unwavering. They prioritize God in their ministry, facing daily challenges with determination. Deby arrives at 8 in the morning and sometimes doesn’t go home until 10 at night.The teachers’ efforts are appreciated by their students.
“What I like about Miss Bridgette is that she is fun. Just learning with her is so completely easy.”
“Miss Deby is kind to us, and Miss Deby always makes us happy.”
“What I like about Miss Brigette is that she makes English way easier to learn and faster to understand. And she makes English a bit of a fun subject.”
Managing children with diverse backgrounds has significantly impacted Deby’s spiritual life..
“Yes, because it's a new experience, and you learn a lot. You learn to depend on God”
“because you realize, He's the only one I can trust, and He's the one who will help me. Also, you have the chance to know and visit other places. And also to know new cultures. Of course, there is a culture shock. And you make new friends with the locals and with the other volunteers that live in the same place that you are. So, I suggest being a volunteer.”
This territory needs our support and prayers.
“Please pray for the church here in Indonesia so they can have the courage to share about Jesus without fear.”
Your generous support enables us to create additional volunteer programs to educate children about Christ worldwide, following the example set by Debie and Bridgette.
