divine hope church

Bolivia Mission Trip - December 27, 2010 to January 8, 2011 - Shalom Es Mi Casa Orphanage - Sucre, Bolivia

Mel Menker, Jason Johnson and Stephanie Abe had the opportunity represent divine hope church and engage in ministry to the orphanage in Sucre by doing construction, feeding people in the neighborhood and celebrating Christmas with the children and house parents at the orphanage.  The following pictures are from this recent mission experience.



Behind the scenes

It was an amazing accomplishment as the team completed nearly 85% of the exterior and interior blocks walls to the fourth home at Semillas de Esperanza (Seeds of Hope).  All 12 of the steel roof trusses were fully welded and painted as well.  Now the onsite construction team will complete the project.  This is the second orphanage location as the first orphanage is located about 15 minutes away in the city of Sucre.  This newer location is in a district neighborhood (barrio) near the Sucre airport, about 5 miles from the city center.

God certainly blessed the team this year and He moved mightily throughout our time in Bolivia.  We were witnesses to many miracles as His hand was wonderfully heavy on our time there.
