Visitors to Sucre


One of the blessings of working in Bolivia is the opportunity to host missions’ teams or visitors from the US.  FH Sucre doesn’t receive a bunch of international teams but we seem to have groups come every 2 or 3 months on average.  This past week we had the privilege of hosting 4 special visitors to Sucre for 3 days. 

Through the Food for the Hungry artist program professional singer/song writer Kerrie Roberts came to Sucre to visit and share her vocal talents and wisdom.  Kerrie shared at several venues her passion for music and desire to honor God with the talents and gifts she has been given.   FH also scheduled multiple opportunities for Kerrie and her team to see and experience the ministry of FH and learn about our desire to transform realities and raise up a new generation of leaders focused on honoring God in every area of society. 

Kerrie and her team came with a huge heart to serve and it was a privilege to see the youth of Bolivia excited to develop their talents and use them for the glory of God.  We hosted a question and answer session one evening, where Kerrie shared her testimony and the youth asked questions about worship leading etc.  Seeing the youth’s desire to grow in their abilities to lead worship, and mature in there understanding of God centered worship was an encouragement to us.  I believe Kerrie was able to give great advice that will shape a generation of worship leaders in Sucre. 

I (John) as her translator enjoyed getting to meet Kerrie and her team, and was blessed by our conversations and ministry activities.  As always it was wonderful to make some new friends and spend some time learning and growing from their experiences.   I think Kerrie will be touring with Big Daddy Weave this spring or summer.  If she is near your location you should check it out.  She is a very talented artist who loves the Lord!
