The purpose of Bolivian Youth Ministries is
to reach the people of Bolivia, specifically the children, with the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. This is the bottom line of our ministry by which every
other aspect is measured. We focus keenly on the unreachables of Bolivia; specifically those children who are
living in situations that will certainly lead to their spiritual and physical
death. This includes orphans, the abandoned, the
mistreated, street children, prison children, etc. These are children
who, without direct intervention by an outside force and without the
Grace of God presented in their lives, face certain demise. Our goal is
to minister to these children that God has placed in our
path.
Working in cooperation with the Bolivian Government, we have established
a system to house children whose parent(s) are imprisoned and who have
inadequate or no outside resources. These children have been brought to
our facilities where care is provided under defined guidelines.
This provision is understood to be temporary and will continue until the
parent is released from the prison system and is economically, mentally
and spiritually able to care for his/her children. Working in the San Sebastian
Women's Prison in Cochabamba, we are following a program to minister to
the women, specifically the mothers of children in our care. Like our
ministry to the children, this ministry is focused on presenting
the Word of God and discipleship; while providing for needs in other
areas of their lives.
