Serving with others
Youth With a Mission in Bolivia offers a new way of life to street kids in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. As World Gospel Mission Bolivia focuses on 50 percent of Bolivia’s population, which is age 29 and under, YWAM is one of our partners in ministry.
In this ministry, kids who live under bridges and on the streets washing car windshields and stealing to support their addictions have an opportunity to live in a home with security and opportunities. If a young person makes the decision to get off the street they go through the transition house and then to a home where they begin to learn about life. In the home, “El Camino” (The Road), young boys learn about real life where they can grow spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially in healthy ways. Part of this process includes learning to serve others. David goes to “El Camino” once a week to help mentor these young men. Together with these young boys, they go to a local home for senior citizen and bless them with messages, feet soaking, and leg rubbing. No, it is not glamorous job, but serving means getting your hands dirty. It is a great opportunity to help these young men learn to not just be the recipients but also givers of love and kindness.
Thank God for opportunities …
