Patricia Cabral
Argentina
Patricia Cabral has worked as an English-Spanish translator with Adriana Powell’s agency in Argentina since 2004. She is also a freelance translator for several international Christian organizations.
“My fervent desire and prayer is that God will use Latin American authors to impact our continent and the world,” Patricia says. “No other word will be more fruitful and lasting than the message of Christ.”
“We look forward to the invaluable collaboration of the new people who will join the board, having in their minds and hearts the purpose of working to impact through the message of the kingdom of God.”
Patricia’s book tip: “One book that’s been significant to me throughout my adulthood, and helps me to reflect over and over again on my life as a child of God is The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri J. M. Nouwen.”
