To disciple, mentor, and counsel the next generation of local leaders so they may know Christ personally and intimately. We achieve this by partnering with Talita Cumi children's home and the AVISA child sexual abuse prevention and detection program.
Bolivians face a variety of daily challenges: government corruption, economic poverty, alcohol and drug addictions, broken families, abuse, and neglect. Within the church, Bolivians are taught legalistic approaches to God accomplished by rigid rule-following instead of relationship. Catholic and indigenous belief systems mix with evangelical Christianity often leading to confusion and attempts to achieve personal gain through any means (gods or rituals) necessary.
Our desire is to accompany individuals to experience relationship and restoration through Christ and begin to heal from trauma and brokenness. We get to do that primarily through our work with school-aged children who are still in their most formative years!
- Pray for transparency, honesty, wisdom, and justice within the Bolivian government.
- Pray for the truth about Jesus Christ to be known, for God to be known as a loving and present Father and set apart from the indigenous and Catholicbeliefs generally taught.
- Pray for protection for children from sexual and physical abuse, forhealing and restoration, and for nearness to their Heavenly Father.
