• Jun. 29, 2007 - Mission:X to Bolivia

Posted in Outreach

 

Here is an on-going report of my 18 year old daughter Julia's trip to Entre Rios, Bolivia.  If you would like to see pictures and maps and other goodies, pop over to my web site at www.VirginiaKnowles.com/Bolivia for the fully-loaded version of this report!  I don't have time to keep everything up in both places.

Friday, June 29 at 10 AM: The three Bolivia Mission:X teams traveled to Miami by bus yesterday.  The two Entre Rios teams arrived in Santa Cruz this morning and will fly to Tarija in southern Bolivia this afternoon.  Then they will take an arduous bus ride to Entre Rios, arriving sometime tonight.  The medical team will hike out from home base in Entre Rios to the mountain villages to do clinics in El Puesto, Timboy, Tentaguasu, San Josecito and Las Abras.  They will also do two clinics at the mission in Entre Rios, where the construction team will be working.  Many of the team members have brought along small gifts for the children, such as balloon animals, stickers, and candy.  These are a huge hit!  Julia was really busy for few days labeling about 4,500 medicine baggies. We're hoping all of the medical supplies get there without a problem, since our Haiti teams had much of theirs confiscated at the airport a few weeks ago.  The doctor scheduled to go on the Bolivia medical team was not able to go after all, but there are four very experienced nurses, including a sweet lady who switched from the La Paz evangelism team just a few days ago.  On July 7, the two Entre Rios team will join the team in La Paz, spend a day resting and sightseeing there, and then return to Orlando on July 9.

 
Prayer Requests
 
Prayer requests?  Yes, lots of them!
  • for God's healing grace to work mightily in the bodies and spirits of those who come to the clinics for help
  • for flexibility, patience and unity among the team members and their Bolivian coworkers
  • for everyone to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit as they find opportunities to share the love and grace of Christ
  • for God to open eyes of each team member to truths about Himself, themselves, and the body of Christ that they might not ever realize in the U.S. 
  • for the on-going work of the mission church in Entre Rios
  • for physical endurance and safety during the very strenuous work and travel in Bolivia, where it is winter now
  • for protection from malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, travelers diarrhea, altitude sickness (in La Paz)  and bites from the "kissing beetle" which carries a nasty disease
  • for all the construction, medical supplies, and other luggage to arrive safely
