Trip to La Paz

As John’s job has grown and changed over the past year John has had multiple opportunities to travel and train various offices over the curriculum he has been developing. The curriculum deals with a few core principles such as Worldview, Poverty, Development, and Resources. Each lesson looks at the Biblical perspective of these principles and how as individuals we can have a Biblical approach to serving our neighbor that will help empower change rather than hinder creativity and generate dependency. This past week John had the chance to train the leaders of FH Bolivia in these ideas. John taught a seminar all day on Wednesday in Spanish to the FH leadership located in La Paz, and then again Thursday in English to a group of FH leaders working with international teams and projects. The 2 days were filled with great conversation as we wrestled with the obstacles we face in Bolivia and how God has called our organization to overcome all forms of human poverty. John has really enjoyed having these opportunities to teach and we can see how slowly God is using these principles to shape our ministry and the ministry of Food for the Hungry Bolivia. In the midst of the international teams, traveling and nightly church trainings we have seen our time become busy and yet full of blessings.
