A Busy 24 Hours

Easter here in Bolivia was an amazing and busy twenty-four hours. Jeremy Kochendorfer, our Stateside Ministry Coordinator with Evangelical Church Missions visited Bolivia to provide our field some training and encouragement. While he was here, Jeremy came out to visit Mizque and see what it is we are doing here. After a four hour bus ride, we arrived with a few hours to prepare for Saturday night. Saturday night Kevin preached to the youth and then we led games as we usually do.



This year Bolivia had a different kind of Easter Sunday. It was actually made into an election Sunday for the country of Bolivia which meant that no one was allowed to drive and people had to stay in the towns where they were registered to vote. This caused some confusion for the Baptist Church in Mizque since their pastor had to stay in Cochabamba to vote and could not be at church on Easter. So, Kevin was asked to lead the Sunday morning and evening services. After preaching at the morning service, Kevin and Jeremy set out on an 8 mile round trip to Tukma Baja where Kevin taught our Hermeneutics class. Then they returned with enough time to change clothes, shower and head off to the evening service. While it was an exhausting weekend for everyone, all in all it was a wonderful few days.
