Bolivia

Year opened: 2006

Bolivia has endured a tumultuous history, including dozens of coups and long-term political unrest. The citizens of Bolivia also face a shortage of basic needs, as 64% of the population lives below the poverty line. Despite the challenges Bolivians face, there is also great hope for the nearly 10 million residents.

Mission Society missionaries, partnering with The Mission Society and World Gospel Mission, are providing leadership development training through the Bolivian Evangelical University, Berea Bible Seminary, and the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center. Through these ministries, they desire to strengthen and train emerging church leaders who will in turn impact the future of Bolivia.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for the Assembly rewriting the country's constitution. Pray for wisdom and guidance for each representative, that they would seek to promote peace and unity among all ethnic groups in Bolivia.
• Pray for peace and unity in Bolivia. There are frequent conflicts, roadblocks, strikes, and confrontations as the central government institutes various reforms.
• Pray that the evangelicals in Bolivia would reflect the love of Jesus Christ and witness to His transforming power in the midst of divisions and conflicts.
