We were so excited to participate in the DRIVE Conference at NorthPoint Community Church last night as they encourage and inspire thousands of church leaders. We teamed up with GlobalX to share our model of healthy, community-initiated, Christ-centered development…. Thank you to all the church leaders who stopped by our room and talked with us. We hope you are enjoying your time at DRIVE and we hope to talk to you again soon! Also a HUGE thanks to the dozens of volunteers who showed up to help us load out at the end of the evening!

The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz
When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.
The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.
Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.
