Exciting news today:

St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Cedar Falls, IA collected a special offering on Palm Sunday for our Bolivia Fund. What a wonderful blessing to have such caring people thinking and praying about us.

If your church or group is interested in helping with our fundraising, we'd be happy to send you some materials or come and speak. Get on our schedule soon! We'd be so happy to have your help, and any funds not used for trip costs will be donated to the Carmen Pampa Fund at the end of our year. Here is the information on where to send a check:

St. Andrew's Bolivia Fund
