Hey all! Today, I wrote a little prayer-guide you can use as you pray for us, for Highlands and for the general situation in Bolivia.

Let us pray…

  • For the Church in Bolivia, for her purity, for unity, for her mission in Bolivia, and for all the people of God in this land.
  • For those in Bolivia who do not yet believe, and for those who have lost their faith, that they may receive – even in the midst of the current situation in Bolivia – the Light of the Gospel.
  • For the peace of Bolivia, for an end to racism and hate.
  • For those in leadership in Bolivia, that they would be freed from anger and fanaticism, and instead promote the dignity and freedom of every person.
  • For those who live and work in this community, and call La Paz their home.
  • For those who are poor, persecuted, sick and all who suffer; for all who are in danger in this tense time.
  • For our enemies, and those who wish us harm, and for all we have injured or offended.For the forgiveness of our sins, and for the grace of the Holy Spirit to amend our lives.
  • For those who have commended themselves to our prayers, our friends, families back home, and our neighbors here in La Paz.
  • Rejoicing in the fellowship of all the saints, we commend ourselves, one another and all our life to Christ our God. Amen.

Thanks for prayin’!

We are trying to keep abreast of the situation in Bolivia and re on our knees in prayer at the same time. Be safe.
