In past years, Lakeshore Christian Fellowship has taken short term mission teams to Mexico and Haiti. As we sought the Lord for His direction in this new season, we felt His leading to the Foursquare church in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The church, Faro Del Cielo Iglesia Evangelica Cuadrangular, or the Lighthouse of Heaven Foursquare Evangelical Church, is pastored by Pastor Ruben Baldiviezo and his wife Isabel. The Lord is doing great things in Bolivia and it is such a privilege for us to partner with this beautiful family.
Not only is Pastor Ruben the head pastor of Faro Del Cielo but he is also the president of the Foursquare Church in Bolivia. As such he oversees all of the Foursquare churches in Bolivia and is in charge of church plants and evangelism across the country. He has tremendous vision to reach his country for Jesus and has many projects and God-given dreams to bring Jesus to the Bolivian people. We are honored to get to play a very small part in the huge plans that God has for that country.
From July 14-24, 2016, Lakeshore will be taking a group of 16 people down to Santa Cruz, Bolivia to help Pastor Ruben and his church with the building of their new church sanctuary. Their current church building has served them well for the last several years but they have quickly outgrown the space. The new facility will be able to seat several hundred people and will better meet the needs of this growing congregation. If you would like to be a part of this building project financially, you can do so by following this giving link and selecting the missions tab for giving. Money collected from the missions giving will go to help build this church building and further the work of God amongst the people of Bolivia.
We would love to have you partner with us in prayer as we go. If you would like to commit to pray for our team and for the church in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, please let us know by leaving us a comment below or by sending us an email at gbillings@nulllakeshorecf.com.
