Preparing for Bolivia
Our Sucre, Bolivia mission team is preparing to leave on April 11th. This mission is our 22nd year of returning to Bolivia. It was our first location to send a mission team to in 1994. Many of our missioners have been in Sucre over the years. It is a special and something of a sacred place for us to go. God has lead us to Sucre. The all day team formation is this weekend at the Blanchette Catholic Center. We will cover many topics in preparation for the mission.
As we have done since 1997 we will have the team broke into three sections; medical, construction, and outreach. Each section will have it's responsibilities. Of course medical will be doing surgery in the hospital. We'll also be doing clinics in the surround area. We working on finalizing the details.
Construction will most likely be similar to last year. We probably will be doing more repair type of work than building new structures. We look for jobs that will match the skill level of our people to available tasks.
Outreach will be working with locations to present Water with Blessings. This a fantastic program to bring clean water to the communities. We have done this program in Sucre and the Philippines.
One area we are looking for help is for the medical team. We could use another general surgeon and anesthesiologist. If you know anyone that would be interested have them contact the missions office at [email protected] or call 815 221-6258.
