Thank you, Agoura Bible Fellowship! Your support of Iglesia Bautista Misionera is empowering children living in poverty in Bolivia. Because of you, these children have a safe place to go where they can receive physical, emotional, spiritual, social and cognitive care that helps them reach their full potentials. Church staff serve as role models who encourage and mentor children in need of support. In the photo above, children perform a Children’s Day song.
This report includes updates on construction and church activities and a testimony from a beneficiary named Adriana.
Construction Progress
Construction workers installed the main church door, the garage door and doors in the classrooms and kitchen. Church members are selling food to raise the necessary local funds to continue construction.
Next Steps
In the next 60 days, the construction team will add lighting and finishing touches to each of the rooms in the new church facility.
Challenges and Opportunities
A change in leadership at the mother church caused a delay in fundraising efforts. Fundraising will begin again soon.
Church Activities
Currently, there are 30 children and 20 adults who attend in-person church services on Sundays. The church also holds Children’s Club activities every Sunday afternoon. They celebrated the anniversary of the opening of the Mother Church and engaged in a planned evangelism event in the area.
A Testimony From Adriana, a Beneficiary of the Mother Church
“When I first arrived to help with the daughter church, it gave me so much joy to see the construction. It means there will be a new space where families in the area can receive help. I believe in my heart that the Lord will raise up leaders in this church, and many families will turn to Christ!“
Praises and Prayer Requests
The church asks you to please pray that church leaders and staff would be encouraged in their work and that the church’s fundraising efforts would be fruitful. They praise God for you and the difference you are making in the lives of the children they serve.
