Miguel has his office on the 4th floor of our apartment building. He had been attending our C.A.F.E. group on Thursdays, as well as our "Biblical Christianity" class at La Conexion Cristiana (our contact center).
Gabriela lives on the 6th floor of our apartment building, so, with the Forbesses on the 5th and us on the 7th...WE'VE GOT HER SURROUNDED. She has also been attending our C.A.F.E. group as well as our classes at La Conexion Cristiana.
Sonia walked in to our worship service one Sunday morning a year ago. Her observation was, "I was looking for different church. I walked in to the wrong church, but in the end, it turned out to be the right church. Sonia is the lady in the middle, drinking a cup of coffee at our C.A.F.E. group.
This last weekend we had a national family encampment and the Lord decided to increase our harvest even more. After the encampment was over, He blessed us with 7 others who were added to His body here in Bolivia.
Three members of the Chavez family, Pedro, Beatriz and Rebecca were baptized all together on the same day.
Rebecca met one of our interns last July, Stephanie Sanderson, who taught her English from the Gospel of Luke. She told her parents about the church and all of her family including her younger sister Veronica started attending Sunday worship. Since then, Pedro and Beatriz have been studying in different classes at La Conexion Cristiana with Josh and I.
Agustina and her 2 children Ronaldo and Leslie have been attending worship service for some time. Jeff and Katie have been studying with them, and the church has been very active in helping this family. We have helped her with groceries, setting up her beauty salon and installing a water line to her little house.
Gaston responded to an ad we put in the local newspaper last March advertising our class called "Biblical Christianity" taught at La Conexion Cristiana. He has also been attending our worship services and the C.A.F.E. group that meets in our home. He had been putting off his decision for some time now, and we are so glad he finally decided to put the "old" Gaston in the past and begin to live for Christ.
Roberto had been going to church together with his family in Santa Cruz for some time now. He surprised his whole family by deciding to follow Christ on Sunday. His wife and mother cried tears of joy when he was baptized.
Ernesto is a retired surgeon from Sucre. He had been attending church together with his wife in Sucre where the new mission team has been working for the past 7 months. Their children live in Cochabamba so we are hopeful we'll be able to meet and work with them.

Hola en el nombre de Jesus! This may seem very random, because it is! We have found a fascinating letter in a used book we purcahased. The letter is written to a missionary studying in Cochabamba. The letter is dated March 27, 1945, however, the name of the missionary is not mentioned, only a nickname "Skeezix" which we found out was a mischievious character from a children's book written in the early 1900's. We are wondering if you or someone you know may have any information on which missions may have been operating in Cochabamba during the 1940's so we could attempt to contact them and maybe find the person the letter was addressed to or a next of kin who may be interested to receive a copy of the letter. Please reply by posting on my blog or we can try to arrange some other means of communication. Thanks you.
