HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED
of the city, came to Pastor Miguel with a need. In her community, there are a number of kids that receive little to no family support. When she realized that the church was already helping about 12 kids with home-work and snacks after school, she thought God might be stretching her to begin a ministry. She talked to Pastor Miguel and the church took a chance and began a ministry in this desperate area of Cochabamba. Within 12 months, the number went from 12 kids to 80 kids and became a weekly meeting that met under a tarp on her front porch. This ministry has now become a new church plant of the Sinaí church and, thanks to the help of two con-gregations from Georgia and West Virginia that stretched out their arms to lend a hand constructing a cob church building, services have now moved off of her porch to a wonder-ful new building close by. With Pastor
Two boys from the ministry in Alto Buena Vista helping a work team to make cob (balls of mud and straw) to build the church in their community
Miguel’s help, the church now has a part-time pastor who is reaching out to the kids’ families. God is stretching his work forward in Bolivia!
