Named one of the New 7 Wonders Cities, La Paz is a stunning metropolitan area that hosts over 2.3 million residents. The city was originally settled in 1548 by Spanish conquistadors in a bowl carved out by several high mountains.  As the city grew, it expanded beyond its original geographic boundaries to the peaks.  As a result, its elevation extends from 10,500 to 13,500 feet above sea level.  In the near distance, the Illimani mountain towers over La Paz, visible from most of the city.

Today, La Paz is Bolivia's third-most populated city. Historic colonial architecture mingles with modern high rises. Food, tobacco, clothing, and consumer goods are the mainstays. La Paz also hosts a beautiful architectural center and serves as a major hub for higher education.

What We're Doing

This October I will be traveling to La Paz, Bolivia with a group of ladies to work with Aymara indigenous women and children. For all of the city's beauty, poverty, witchcraft, and idol worship remain serious issues for many of the people. On this expedition, we will offer free reading glass clinics in communities where few can afford even reading glasses.

Through this outreach, we will have the opportunity to share Christ with many Bolivians in the area while partnering with local churches. As individuals come to faith, they will be organized into small groups that will serve as the foundation for new churches. This is your chance to spread the Gospel and serve people's basic needs in a beautiful and culturally significant city.

I'm excited about the opportunity and experience that lie ahead. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial support from a number of people. I need to raise $2,800 by September 1st. If you can support me in a financial way, I would be very grateful. And, most importantly, I also need your prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God's leading in ministry in these countries. Without prayer, nothing will happen.
