PROJECT NARRATIVE
“Our Story”
Begin your narrative here … RENACSENIV in 2018 began a program called Families Imported
sponsored by the VIVA Network during the month of January to July 2018, during which time it
affected 12 churches, affecting 453 families together with 1745 children and adolescents, producing
changes qualitative in the daily coexistence of affected families. During the month of October 2018,
in the Region of Los Llanos located in the western central part of the country, a regional meeting
was held with the participation of a regional coordinator and four local coordinators to promote the
program to 12 churches, but this effort it did not have multiplier effects because the project was
without temporary subsidy.

In December 2018 we received the offer of grant from the Onésimo Foundation to RENACSENIV
and between January and February 2019 a project called the Program of Prevention of Intrafamily
Violence for vulnerable families whose biblical didactic content is identical to that of the Families
Importan is designed.

At the end of February the first teacher training begins in a church in Charallave, a town near
Caracas. But from March 7 to 17 there was a total lack of electricity supply in Venezuela,
suspending the water service, transportation and partial distribution of food during that time. In
virtue of this National emergency and in order not to paralyze our projects, the National
RENACSENIV Team meets in order to elaborate the emergency action plan to achieve the
objectives of the PPVI, taking into account the contingency of the electricity failures in most cases.
from the country. However, there was another stoppage of the electric power service from March
26 to 29, both in Caracas and in other localities in the interior of the country, this situation
continued until April 7. Some cities of the country continue with a strong rationing of electric
power with all the effects that implies, such as the general precariousness of all public services, the
increase in the migration of the population to Caracas and out of the country.
In order to fulfill the training activity, the regional and local coordinators were summoned for
March 26, but due to power failures nationwide it was postponed from April 23 to 25. We began,
then, the logistics, mobilization and transport efforts of national, regional and local coordinators for
the national event from April 23 to 25, to be held in Los Teques, a city near Caracas; together with
personal contacts with all the regional coordinators belonging to the RENACSENIV network
through emails, telephone calls and social networks to not only call them for the regional meeting
but also to present the names and data of the churches committed to the project, That meant that
before the event the coordinators established promotional contacts to encourage the churches
proposed by them.
The attached table shows the regional coordinators and on the right the names of the registered
churches committed to the project in each of the localities. Each church received the printed Guide
of the didactic Biblical contents of the book Families Matter, it can also be added that each church
received a donation of Bibles for children that enriches the library of the teachers of children.
Thank God, despite the inconveniences arising from the country situation, we managed to move
forward fulfilling the first activities planned in the Schedule of the PPVI, we met with the
Coordinators to work with the 40 Churches of at least 14 of the 24 States that they make up the
country; not only to fulfill the training, but to deal with them the other programs that will serve as a

follow-up to the PPVI, as well as having a significant time of companionship and accompaniment
that was a great encouragement and blessing for all of us who participated.
We thank the Lord for being able to count on your prayers and support as if they were with us, this
is a sample of the Body work that the Lord demands of us.

People Stories
8. Personal Story of a Beneficiary (Tell a personal story (or two) of how one or more individuals
have directly or indirectly benefited from your work on this project.)
Story #1- Testimony sisters of the coordinators of the island Margarita. The transport situation in
Venezuela is quite chaotic, the sisters of the local coordination of Nueva Esparta, Isla
de Margarita, Porlamar city, Pastors Nayibe Parra, Yrianni Ávila, Ysmenia Santaella
and Greysbel Salazar, were trying to buy almost three weeks before traveling on
Passage by plane from your location to Caracas to attend the National Meeting of
Leaders, which was impossible. Given the situation on Monday, April 22, Tuesday,
April 23 and Wednesday, April 24, from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., the airport was
unsuccessful, both on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23. Wednesday 24 manage to embark at
8am to leave for the meeting. In the words of our sister Nayibe Parra: "it was a struggle
to leave Margarita until the last moment, but, we obtained the victory because the Lord
wanted us to participate in this meeting and opened our paths. We see the passion and
determination to achieve work in the ministry.
Story #2 - Testimony of the local coordinator of RENACSENIV Dolly Pernía de Charallave,
Miranda state, city near Caracas in the implementation of the project in the church
called Dios es mi Bandera: The intrafamily violence prevention program Because
families matter, it has been very propitious and timely to serve families who are
unfortunately facing a difficult situation due to the process of social, emotional and
spiritual deterioration of our country Venezuela, it is comforting to give encouragement,
strength and comfort through the word of God from where they understand and know
that God He has not forgotten his children and that he is taking care of us, that God
created, formed and sustains the family if we obey and believe God. They have been
themes of reflection, confrontation and above all of teaching and the call of God to take
the right direction. As for the teachers, they have felt very good because they are
rewarding participatory classes. Children and adolescents have also felt identified with
the issues because it has been a great source of guidance for their lives that have been
disoriented, confused and distressed, with the Biblical content of the project they have
received consolation, encouragement and guidance to strengthen their families I really
thank God for this project.
Story #3 - Clara Dallas, from Barcelona, Anzoátegui State, shared in the meeting that her house
was burned, in the blackout of March 29, totally due to the high voltage of the electric
power, however, Sister. Clara decided to fulfill the Lord and come to the Day trusting
fully in the Lord's help.
