Bolivia missionary

There's more than one Bolivia missionary who are now bloggers.  Over 9 million people live in the South American country of Bolivia, both rich and poor, both well known and almost forgotten.  Officially known as the Republic of Bolivia, it was named after Simón Bolívar, known as a liberator in South America.  The Republic was established in 1825.

But you want to know what God is doing in Bolivia, and how he's using people to share the love of Christ!  Let's visit our missionary blogs...

Bolivia missionary bloggers

One of my favourite blogs of a Bolivia missionary is Burgin Bolivia Blog. Ron is in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, which is in the middle of the country. The blog was started in May, 2005, though the archives don't currently go back that far. Ron writes:

Our purpose is to serve Christ by working with national believers to reach people in every language group and every level society with the Good News of the Gospel.

Visit Burgin Bolivia Blog, or check out the blog feed at burgin-bolivia.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Started in January 2005 was Out There with the Beams.  The Beams live in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.  They are very interesting in poverty alleviation, and have been working on projects to bring communities clean water.  They also work in orphanages, and, like many missionaries, do a variety of things!

You can check out their news feed at beamsclan.blogspot.com/atom.xml .  But wait - there's more from the Beams!  For something more in-depth, check out their Longer Missives.  Also, if you want to see some beautiful photography of Bolivia, visit Daniel Beams' Bolivia Photos here.

There are lots more - for example, be sure to check out the elegant Cochabamba Coffee Talk, and read Our Bolivian Journey about the Hooglands working with the Quechua people.
