The Three Amigos!

Over the past 3 years John has been working with a great staff of FH workers.  With that said, we would like to introduce you to 2 very special FH friends who have blessed us and been a significant part of our ministry and family during this time.   Both Luis and Marcelo are pastors and have been a part of John’s church strengthening team over the past 3 years.  Both of them are very gifted and talented and have an incredible heart to see the local church growing in thriving in its role of transformation in the community.  John has learned so much from these 2 friends and he credits the success of their project with churches to the prayerful heart and passion of Luis and Marcelo. 

Marcelo Lazo is the country director of church strengthening for Bolivia.   John first met Marcelo the first week he was in Bolivia.  Two months later John and Marcelo traveled to Lima Peru for a church strengthening and worldview conference and God has continued to shape their friendship ever since.  Marcelo has a great sense of humor and has been a huge support of John over the past 3 years.  Each time Marcelo visits Sucre from La Paz he joins us for a dinner or lunch and we as a family have enjoyed getting to know Marcelo.  Ella has especially become a good friend of Marcelo’s.  John has found it a privilege to support Marcelo in his efforts to reshape the philosophy of working with churches and they have become great friends through the challenges, obstacles and difficulties of working with churches.

Luis Negron, is John’s co-worker in Sucre.  Luis joined the church strengthening staff about 2 years ago.  God could not have provided a better fit for John in the work he has been doing here in Sucre.  Luis is an incredible man of God and has such a humble and joyful spirit.  Luis and John have been working with over 20 churches the past 2 years and John is blessed to be sharing this responsibility with a pastor who has such a passionate heart and is so gifted to do this work well.  Luis has an incredible testimony of transformation and God has used his story to touch and relate to so many pastors, families, and youth in Sucre.  John looks forward to working time with Luis each day and together they make a great team!!!

Both Luis and Marcelo have been such a blessing to us here in Sucre.  Our work with churches has grown due to the amazing spirit and heart that both of these men have.  John has learned so much from both of these individuals and is thankful for the unique friendship that has been fostered over the past 3 years.  

Thanks Luis and Marcelo for making our ministry and time here in Bolivia such a joy!
