Bolivia is a treasure located in the heart of South America, it is a country of amazing cultural and natural diversity. Known for its stunning landscapes, Bolivia is home to wonders such as the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world, and the vast Amazon rainforest, rich in biodiversity.
The nation is a melting pot of cultures, home to deeply rooted indigenous traditions and a rich colonial heritage.
Despite its great cultural diversity, beautiful and rich biodiversity and natural resources, Bolivia is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the region.
CFCI Bolivia has its base established in the beautiful Department of Santa Cruz.
In Bolivia we direct programs and projects bringing hope and the light of Jesus to those who need it.
Within our programs we serve children and women where they can satisfy the most basic need, such as food, and enjoy a safe space, but most importantly, they can know Jesus through spiritual care.
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.
