Bolivia sits in a fertile valley and has a wonderful climate of warm days and cool nights. Despite the beautiful climate, it is one of the poorest and least developed countries in Latin America. CFCI Bolivia ministers to the poorest of the poor in the city of Cochabamba.
In Bolivia we run a number of different ministries that help us bring the light of Jesus to the people of Cochabamba. One of our ministries is a soccer school for young boys, where they have a safe place to come and play sports, but also hear about the message of the cross!
As a base we are grateful for what God is doing in our country and as part of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ we are working on different social projects for the good of our society.
We are currently working with the government of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the city where we have the base, and together with the Departmental Legislative Assembly we are working on a law project for ‘mental health and social well-being’ and through this be able to reach more people through integral care.
Under this concept and concerned about the wellbeing of the church, we are working on a leadership training project. Not only in the social aspect but also in a good church leadership development. During June we shared with Pedro Hernández and Dr. Chip Anderson a MentorLink training to various pastors and church leaders in the city. Our desire is to be able to reach all the churches with training and get them involved in the new projects.
Our desire is to bring hope to everyone. We are working on the project called 'Dad's House', which has the primary goal of satisfying the basic food needs for children and at the same time training families to achieve their development in an integral way, this center is growing process.
