PRAYING for BOLIVIA

Pray for Bolivia

  

Approx 10 million people living in Bolivia with most people claiming some association with a Church. Approx. 12% are evangelical. Pray for courage and moral integrity for the national leaders as they grapple with the economic inequalities and social ills of society, not least of the latter being the cocaine "industry". About 50% of the world's cocaine is grown in Bolivia. Pray that Bolivian Evangelicals may live holy, exemplary lives as they seek to bring change for the good of their land.

 

  The Bible Society has played a major role in every aspect of Bible work and now has its own press. Over one million New Testaments have been distributed in schools. SIL has almost achieved the objective of completing the Bible translation program for all the Amerindian languages that warrant it. There are still 7 languages in which translation work continues and 3 more need a translation survey. May God's Word become part of the life of the entire nation! The JESUS film, widely used with considerable impact and has been seen by a high proportion of the country on television, video and in the cinema.

Major goals for 2000-2010

a) Bolivia to be 30% evangelical by 2010.

b) A strong Church active in outreach and missions.  

c) Strong, servant leaders who give a good role model to others.
