We have now traveled from Santa Cruz to Sucre, Bolivia, where we are doing some investigating. But more on that later. The other day we drove into our assigned province, Chayanta, to see what the road was like from here to there. The first town in our province is about 35 miles from Sucre, but [...]

Spiritual Retreat

While we were in orientation in Virginia, we were given time to take a ¨spiritual retreat.¨ We had four hours to go off by ourselves and be with the Lord. Some people listened to worship music, others read a whole book of the Bible, and some even expressed themselves creatively by drawing as a way [...]

We planned on visiting a Quechua church here in Santa Cruz this morning, but the rains left the roads impassable and we could not go. Instead, Kay and I spent some time reading through the resurrection account. Something impressed me and I thought I’d write about it.
Anyone who has ever [...]

I am happy to tell you that we are finally back in Bolivia. We flew into Santa Cruz a little less than a week ago and have spent the last couple of days getting our assigned vehicle ready for the road.
I don’t know if it’s because I looked at Bolivia through the knowledge that [...]

This doesn’t happen much, but here is a blog by Trent…

Cultural Differences

Different cultures more often than not cause problems. In every training we have conflicts resulting from culture clashes. But every now and then there are moments when we enjoy each other’s cultures and our differences are a positive rather than a negative. Those have been my favorite times so far on the mission field. Those [...]

We are back from the jungle again. We had a great time with the new trainees. I don’t have much time to write about that right now, but I wanted to give you an update on Javier. The church voted to support him for about half of what he needs to live and work in [...]

We’re back in town for a “day of rest” and we just talked with Javier, one of the guys on our team. He is back in his hometown talking to his home church. There has been some confusion about what exactly Javier is doing and how much he will need to work in Bolivia. Please [...]
