Introducion
Word Made Flesh is called and committed to serve Jesus among the most vulnerable of the world’s poor. This calling is realized as a prophetic ministry for, and an incarnational, holistic mission among the poor. They focus their energy to make Jesus known among the poor while reconciling the church with the poor.

Word Made Flesh Bolivia (WMFB) is based in El Alto, between women who prostitute and their children; practising and proclaming in community the kingdom of God with friendship and oportunities for complett transformation until one day their vision is completed: abundant life for people affected by prostitution.

There are three programms: Presencia, Paso a Paso and Suti Sana

Presence (Awaken)
In Presence solidarity and understanding is sought. Presence and relationships are valued. The people who work in Presence desire to be compassionate people and witnesses of Hope in dark places. For that reason, they visit the largest red light district in El Alto each week – and have done so consistently for the last decade. They offer a ministry of presence, compassion, encouragement and prayer, along with an invitation to the House of Hope.

Paso a Paso (Heal)
At Casa Esperanza, everybody sits at the table together. They listen to stories, and share theirs. This is a place of connection and mutuality, a space where women can come and know they are loved and valued. WMFB offers hospitality, discipleship, medical support, workshops, tutoring and childcare to women in prostitution and their families. It is a place of hope and healing – a refuge – where women are challenged to seek the Lord’s best for their lives.

Suti Sana (Equip)
When a woman decides she’s had enough, and realizes she’s worth more than a few night’s tricks. When she can begin to catch a glimpse of something better for herself and her children, Suti Sana can be her way out. Suti Sana micro-business, is an alternative economic option with therapeutic support, for women in prostitution. Surrounded by a supportive community, a woman receives job security and skills training in a safe and dignified work environment. In addition, she learns new life skills and rhythms, is invited to address the deep issues that led her to her reality and can find space and guidance to respond to that still soft Voice.

Suti is an idigenous Aymaran word meaning "name", and sana means "healed" in Spanisch. As the women leave their broken lives in the brothels to begin the long process of restoration, they leave behind the names they worked under. Within caring comunnuty, women can finally experience healing of names and identities.
