Irene Urizar at work in the Chilean Bible Society's offices in Santiago. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every day Bible Society volunteer Irene Urizar makes her way across Santiago to the offices of the Chilean Bible Society. What she does there is to put together her evangelism packets, each containing a hundred evangelistic leaflets that people can buy in order to share the Gospel with their neighbours or use in evangelistic campaigns.<\/h4>\n

Now aged 71, Irene has been involved in Messengers in Action, the ministry enabling women volunteers to share hope and love in prisons, hospitals and the like, since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

In the last year alone this dedicated woman has put more than a million Bible leaflets into packets. Offering hope in difficult times, they have included messages for women, anti-drugs messages and messages aimed at young people.<\/p>\n

The work is unspectacular but important. She and her daughter, Rose Mary, work steadily for six or seven hours every day, in an office set aside for them, preparing materials that get distributed by the Bible Society a few days later.

 <\/p>\n

Unstoppable<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in her \u2018spare time\u2019 she is often busy giving leaflets away or selling them on behalf of the Bible Society to other Christians and church pastors who request them.<\/p>\n

In spite of her long service, Irene does not envisage her ministry ending just yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I am still able to do it,\u201d she says, \u201cnobody is going to stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chilean Bible Society has hundreds of women volunteers like Irene right across the country. Through their work with the Bible Society, they have served the Lord with dedication for many years. Let us pray that the Lord will care for them, strengthen them and multiply them.<\/p>\n
