Bolivia trip proves successful for all by Brandy Faught staff writer On Wednesday, January 19, smdents who traveled to Bolivia for foreign missions oyer the holidays shared their experiences at Cel ebration Night in the Dover Chapel. While in Bolivia, the team traveled with missionaries, saw what the missionaries faced, experienced their frustrations, and learned about the joy of their work. “I had grown up in church and heard about missionaries and prayed for them,” re called Angela Whitaker in her testimony from the trip, “but we saw what they did. When you see what they do, it’s awesome.” The Bolivia team showed various slides from their trip. Pictures of the team witness ing flashed by showing conditions that some Americans would associate with the poverty of the depression that they have seen only in history books. A mother was shown holding her sick child while it was explained that the baby was suffering from a deadly disease that could eas ily be cured with the proper medical attention. The mother, however, did not have enough money for a doctor. Small churches located throughout the South looked like giant cathedrals compared to the one room thatched huts where some teams worked. “One church was a field with a generator and three lights,” said Brooks Derrick. Pictures of small houses were shown. Dirt roads that would be found in rural areas here were frequented city streets in Bolivia. ‘These people didn't have anything,” said Amanda Williams, “but they had God in their hearts and they were happy.” According to many of the group mem bers, the conditions did not hinder them from doing what they had gone to Bolivia for. If anything, what the students saw encouraged them to tell these people about Jesus. They used their talents to witness in the streets. Some used their knowledge of Spanish to speak and share the gospel with people. Clowns and special music were an integral part of the ministry throughout the trip that gained the attention of many people. It was obvious that the Bolivia team had made their journey for one reason: to share Christ However, many students also learned something about Christ for themselves. “We learned about the people and the culture,” said Santiago Espinosa, “but mainly, we learned the God is everywhere.”
