An Extension of Mission of Hope

As a result of Mission of Hope a church was planeted in a village outside of Santa Cruz. This is the story of how Ingesia Evangelica Cuadrangular Plan De Dios church came in to existence.

During the surgey event of this young man he and his mother heard the story of Jesus. The mother was touched by this amazing story and wanted to know more. She returned to Mission of Hope some time later and asked to see Cindy. She handed Cindy and envelope, which Cindy didn't open till later. Inside Cindy found 200 bolivianos (almost $1400 dollars), what an awesome gift. More important than that the mother wanted to hear more about the Bible and this Jesus. Roberto an employee of Mission of Hope began going to this woman's home and teaching her about the Bible. Neighbors began gathering when they would see him in the front yard. 7 miles from the clinic this was happening in a neighborhood that many of the patients now come and are treated at  Mission of Hope. This gathering grew and grew and a church was born.

Sometime later a United States Faternity Ki Nu was looking for a project and Cindy heard about it. Immediately she contacted them and they agreed to come start the church building project. The faternity raised all the money to pour the footings for the church. They came and poured all the footings for this church and today others have been able to complete the building.

We were able to worship there on Sunday during our trip what a blessing it was for me. Enrigue another employee of Mission of Hope is now the minister of the church. He is an awesome man of God.
