Back from Bolivia

They faced peeling sunburns, altitude sickness and some less-than-savory additions to their lemonade, but a seven-member team from Leduc Community Baptist Church says the two weeks they spent outfitting homes in a poor village in Bolivia recently were "life-changing."

This week I spoke to team member Tim Kerber about what the team learned during their stay in Tookma, a small Quechua community in the mountains of central Bolivia, and it sounds like the experience has laid the foundations for a longer partnership between the LCBC and the people of Tookma. Read all about it in the March 13 edition of the Rep.

The team — made up of Kerber, Jake Giesbrecht, Curtis Giesbrecht, Rob Unrau, Ken Boschman, Wilf Kopp and Dwight Paras — also kept a blog where you can read a first-hand account of their adventures.
