This episode features an inspiring conversation with Cathie Ostapchuk and Ligia Andrade all about knowing your value from God while feeling pressure to prove yourself amidst culture expectations and injustice.
Ligia on what what drives her passion in this season:
“Sometimes I still feel that I need to prove myself not from a place of worth. But just because of who I am - a woman and a Latina. Because I can not change those things. So, what I often do is surrender that all at the feet of Jesus and not have those two things bear weight as me as a person.”
Ligia is a wife, mother, ministry leader, but most importantly, she is a daughter of God. She and her husband, Alan Andrade, are the proud parents of three beautiful children and a pup.
Ligia loves sitting in coffee shops and connecting with various people from her community, either online or in-person, to share her story of God’s goodness and faithfulness throughout her life. Ligia was born in Antigua, Guatemala. Her parents were church planters who illegally immigrated to the USA, and were then given the opportunity to establish their young family in Canada.
Ligia, along with her husband, launched ANEW Ministries which is dedicated to building community, nurturing friendships, and fostering the love of God by connecting women.
Ligia is passionate about seeing others experience the redeeming power of Jesus and is committed to being hands and feet of Jesus in her community.
