Bolivia
Casi 120 años después de que los primeros misioneros llegaron a Bolivia para alcanzar los pueblos no-alcanzados de los Andes, la iglesia Boliviana está más y más involucrada en las misiones. Cada vez más Bolivianos responden al llamado de Dios para hacer discípulos. A la misma vez todavía hay muchas comunidades dentro de este país hermoso y diverso donde no se ha escuchado las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo.
Por lo tanto, como equipo trabajamos con la iglesia local tanto en movilización como en hacer discípulos, y en alcanzar los menos alcanzados de Bolivia. Lee nuestras historias para saber más de nuestro trabajo!

Communities where Christ is least known
Tacana
Living in the Yungas region of Bolivia with a population over 18,000, the Tacana are largely agricultural.

Miners of Potosí
Potosí is a city that clings to the side of a beautiful mountain, but many have died inside its mines. The miners acknowledge it to be the devil’s domain and daily make sacrifices to his image.

Whose feet will be beautiful on that mountain, bringing the good news?
