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

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.
