The Church, Christ’s Body

A recent pastors’ retreat and missionary conference of the Bolivia World Gospel Church in Santa Cruz was a picture of Christ’s body. Bolivia World Gospel Church pastors came from many departments of Bolivia. There was such a vast range of differences from pastors of large city churches to leaders of small rural churches. Christ is the ONE that unifies His body and He helps it overcome obstacles it will inevitably come up against.    

We are privileged to participate as part of His church. We regularly attend the Cobija World Gospel Church and support the national pastor, David Nuñez and his wife, Luisa.  David Kerney is able to preach once a month at the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services. Along with an active believer at the Cobija church, David has started a small men’s group. Rachel teaches the youth Sunday School class. Leah enjoys participating in the youth group, and we host the youth small group meeting in our home about once a month.  A good group comes when we make pizza. Our prayer is that God will use us to strengthen and edify His church.

Construction of University Residence 

There is very exciting news from Sucre as the construction of the University Residence progresses. After months of looking at the options to make this a reality with limited funds, it is being built as a second story to the Emanuel World Gospel Church in Sucre. Thank the Lord! If God would put it on your heart to give toward the finishing of this project, you can send your gift to Bolivia University Residence using the enclosed coupon.  

Kerney Family 

Leah has so much going on as a senior at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center. Along with studying she fits in senior class activities, volunteering for Operation Smile, a Transformational Discipleship course at El Alfarero, and applying to universities. Yes, she likes to keep her life full. Would you join us in prayer as she makes important decisions about her future?  

Micah traveled over the summer break after his graduation from Kentucky Mountain Bible College. He came to South America to visit us and then traveled to France with a language exchange program. He is now living in North Dakota with our friends, David and Karol Harriman, where he is working and enrolled to start university classes in January. Thank the Lord for how He is working in Leah’s and Micah’s lives.
