Bolivia
Languages: Spanish
Ecclesias: 8 members – 1 ecclesia
Main Religion: Roman Catholic
Contact: Shimon & Joanna SpinaActivities
The size of the country poses a challenge to outreach, fellowship and pastoral work.
The members are widely scattered. Bro. Emerson Acosta advertises in print media and also generates many contacts on the Internet. The year 2018 saw the baptisms of two young men who had discovered us on the Internet and had been instructed by Emerson and via Skype classes from North America. They now receive post-baptismal classes. Some tune into meetings being broadcast in Spanish by ecclesias in Central America. CBMA workers maintain contact with all members and visit periodically.
There are several interested friends around the country.

In Bolivia, this is a very real possibility. The animistic beliefs of the Aymara, Quechua, and other indigenous groups, contribute hugely to the culture of Bolivia. La Pachamama (Mother Earth) is worshipped as the life-giver, and spirits are said to inhabit many things, one of those being human skulls. continue reading
