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!

Come and Serve
Quechua Ministry
Los 4 millones de quechua-hablantes que se extienden por Bolivia central conforman uno de los mayores grupos menos alcanzados en América Latina. Aún hay muchas remotas comunidades quechuas en la sierra y selva de Bolivia donde Cristo no es conocido.
Kayuparu
Kayuparu es una frase aimara que puede ser traducida “a sus pies (de ellos)”, o “a Sus pies (de Él)”. Como representantes del Único que tomó la forma de Siervo y se agachó para lavar pies, llevamos su amor encarnacional al “más pequeño de estos”, que se sientan a los pies de la gente todo el día lustrando zapatos en las calles de La Paz, para que podamos servirles y traerlos a los pies de Jesús como aprendices dispuestos, siervos humildes y adoradores sinceros.
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. Their traditional, animistic beliefs are strong and place great importance on the chamanes or witchdoctors to provide herbal medicinal cures and to protect the well-being of the community and the universe. SIM Bolivia is looking for creative and effective ways to address their spiritual and physical needs as they work alongside a local couple who have the desire to reach their own people with the Gospel.
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. Who can break down barriers to reach this close-knit, tough group of miners? Who can come to know the story of abundant life in Jesus Christ? Whose feet will be beautiful on that mountain, bringing the good news?
