What a privilege to worship at Roca de la Fe in Cochabamba this morning. What a rich time of worshipping with our Bolivian brothers and sisters in Christ. The language of love and a shared faith in Jesus our Lord and Saviour crossed the language barriers.
What a delightful surprise during their welcoming song when all visitors were invited to come forward to discover that a fellow Baptist Woman was also in attendance - Sarita Ortiz!! We were at her home church in Bolivia on the very Sunday she was home visiting. She even provided the translation for us as we were asked to introduce ourselves and share a few words. What a beautiful woman she is both on the inside and out.
One of the lovely aspects of the welcoming was the welcoming song they sang - then one by one each congregation member from the youngest to the oldest came forward to greet us with hugs and kisses and warm words. We are truly one in Christ Jesus.
Emigdio Veizaga, CBM field staff provided a rich study from Luke 24, with the words of translation from Ivan Gutierrez, CBM field staff and most capable in country guide and host. WOW! I've definitely exceeded my word limit but my heart is just overflowing with joy as I see God at work here in Bolivia. To God be the glory!
