Joanna
Joanna grew up on the mission field at Word of Life Chile. She trusted Jesus Christ as her Savior when she was 6 after her mom explained to her the Gospel.
When she was 13 at a campfire service at the Word of Life camp in Chile, she dedicated her life to the Lord, for Him to do what He wanted with her life.
