Bolivia

Greetings Sanctuary Family,
After a day of travel on Thursday we have returned safely to the city. Today we have spent the day preparing for our departure tomorrow morning back to Atlanta.  We have had an amazing week walking alongside our precious partners here in Bolivia.  We had grave concerns today as we learned fire trucks arrived back at the Property & the fires had become dangerously close to where we had just been yesterday.  Our prayers have been heard and everyone & everything is safe this evening.  Please continue to pray for our safe travels as we depart & safety, provision & protection over the ones we leave behind.

Greetings All,
Sorry for the time lost, we have been busy visiting several homes and 4 rural churches. Visiting these churches/camps and working with our Bolivian partners has been so invigorating and inspirational. They are so hungry for God’s word and so attentive. We have also spent time building and adding onto the Learning Center.

From Chris Fair: We had some great days on the property working on the roof structure, drilling holes and bolting the metal frame work together that will be used for the roof for the house at the learning center.  It is so comforting to be able to further invest and grow the precious relationships we have developed with our Bolivian brothers. Please continue sending awesome prayers.

Dear Sanctuary Faith Family,

We started this weekend investing in prayers with our partners Dan and Jenny, followed by a sumptuous lunch with Family members. The afternoon was spent unpacking and preparing children’s goodie bags before heading off to our first Church service in the outskirts of Santa Cruz. The team actively participated in hosting a children’s ministry bible study with activities which brought many smiles on these children who were extremely responsive. The ladies on this team conducted a women’s ministry session to an enthusiastic group of women which culminated in games and much laughter. Dinner at church soon followed before calling it a night. God’s presence was strongly felt by the team. 

We awoke early and attended Sunday service at Cesar’s church. Oh what joy to see and feel the passion for God from this warm congregation and it’s joyful singing. Watching the children listen actively to the ladies conducting Sunday school was ‘priceless’ in their humble surroundings. 

Please continue praying for God’s grace, wisdom and protection for this team, we can feel all your prayers/blessings as we continue to reach out in pursuit of God’s plan for this trip. 

Greetings from Bolivia!

The team arrived safely early morning of the 30th. We had the “fastest time” through the passport and customs lines. Imagine 12 large pieces of luggage, 12 carryons and 12 backpacks all through customs in 10 minutes. It’s a God thing. 

Our gracious hosts Dan and Jenny were anxiously waiting for us and brought us to staging Base Bolivia. 
The team is tired, well fed, upbeat and ready for our mission.
