Sucre, a city in the center of Bolivia, is surrounded by mountains and has a number of colonial buildings. It is the judicial capital of Bolivia and a historic city with a population of more than 224,000.

Spiritual Needs in Sucre 

Sucre is an interesting place to visit, yet it is a place of great spiritual need. 

Pastor Sergio and his wife, Fanny, live there. They have a great burden for the university students. Secular curriculum and university culture have many negative traps and distractions for students.

Pastor Sergio and Fanny have a dream for a University Residence. Here is their dream in Pastor Sergio’s words, which we have translated. “This will be a great support for the students academically and spiritually. Many students have little guidance on where to go or what to do. We want to give them that guidance based on God’s principles and help them become good students and leaders. The world has many bad things that that can harm the students. We need to do this project for the university students.”
