2016 Summary
In 2016, under the direction of the Bolivian national team, the school program operated without any US funding whatsoever! In a nation rife with poverty and a quasi-communist government, the school program in Bolivia has become the model for all other national operations to follow. The combined efforts of the school program and chaplain program discipled an estimated half a million young people and the adults in their lives.

History – In the first full year, the Bolivian chaplain program experienced growth and impact that is almost unprecedented. For political reasons the school program and chaplain program work as two separate organizations. The chaplain program discipled over 200,000 people in the Word of God, planted scores of churches and gave over 4000 people an opportunity to work in the ministry. WOW!!!
The rapid growth did expose weaknesses in the organizational structure, administration and reporting mechanisms. The chaplain program team has been working for months to make the needed corrections.

Proposed – This year a new CRM will be employed to better manage staff and volunteers. A new organization structure encouraging innovation with a better leverage of local church sponsorship of volunteers. To reduce cost and increase accountability and efficiency, administration and accounting will be managed by the school program.
Mission trips will be heavily promoted as a means of delivering the gospel and exposing school administrators to the hunger and need of spiritual mentorship on campus.
The US team is also promoting intern opportunities to work with the chaplain program.

Mark 4:10-11 (MSG) When they were off by themselves, those who were close to him, along with the Twelve, asked about the stories. He told them, “You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom—you know how it works. But to those who can’t see it yet, everything comes in stories, creating readiness, nudging them toward receptive insight.
