Serving God by Serving His Children.
"If you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it unto Me"

LAST UPDATE: June 14, 2022 Thank you so very much for visiting our website. It’s been a difficult few years for many
people around the world; it’s no different for those here in Bolivia. From
two years of COVID shutdown to worldwide economic instability to an Eastern
European war to a general falling away and turning away from the God of
Creation…it makes one wonder if the time is getting close. All that sounds scary but the certain truth
is that the LORD has it under control and will take care of His children. The girls here in Cochabamba are doing well. By God’s grace ALL of our needs are being
met; and even some of our ‘wants’. The elder Bakers are in the States for a while as jb receives needed
and required medical attention while the younger Bakers are managing affairs
with the homes. Please feel free to write via email or visit the FB page for more updates. Thanks again for stopping by. |
Bolivian Youth Ministries
PO Box 463
Sweet Home, OR 97386
The purpose of Bolivian Youth Ministries is to reach the people of Bolivia,
specifically the children, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the bottom
line of our ministry by which every other aspect is measured. We focus
keenly on the unreachables of Bolivia; that is to say those children who are in
high risk categories and are living in situations that will certainly lead to
their spiritual and physical death. This includes, but is not limited to,
orphans, the abandoned, the mistreated, street children, prison children, etc.
These are children that, without direct intervention by an outside force and
without the Grace of God presented in their lives, face certain demise.
We will strive to serve God by serving His people, to love God by loving His
people. Our goal is to minister to these children, the children that God has
placed in our path.
Working in cooperation Bolivian Government, we have established a system to
house children whose parent(s) are imprisoned and who have no or inadequate
outside resources. These children have been brought to our facilities where
care is provided following set and defined guidelines. This provision is understood to be
temporary and will continue until the parent is released from the prison system
and is economically, mentally and spiritually able to care for their children.
This outreach also includes a program of discipleship to the parents in prison.
Working in the San Sebastian Women's Prison, the El Abra Men's Prison and the
Quillacollo Men's Prison, we are following a program to minister to the
parents. Like our ministry to the children, this ministry will be focused on
presenting the Word of God and discipleship; but will also provide for needs in
other areas of their lives.
Much more can be said (and is in
writing) regarding the system of jails here in Bolivia, what the children
are up against and how we strive to reach them. Please spend some time reading
about it if you are interested. Meanwhile, PLEASE
visit the other areas of this site; especially the "how to pray" site.
What will we teach them next?
(Joy comes from the Lord!)
THANKS! for your visit and your consideration. Stay close to the Lord.
