Night in Poza Verde

Working on the chicken coup with Cesar

This past Thursday and Friday we spent out in the Poza Verde Ayore community, about 1.5 to 2 hours from where we are currently living. This is the community we will probably spend the most time with. We spent the night with Cesar and Mirtha, a Bolivian couple who live with and minister to the Ayore. We had a great time getting to know them, although speaking only in Spanish for the whole time was tiring but good practice. I helped Cesar work on the chicken coup he is building to house 100 chickens. The goal of this project is for them to make a little income from the eggs since they do not get very much support to live off of. We will probably spend a lot of time doing whatever we can to help them so the can be more effective in their ministry since they have many more years of experience than we.

Our ministry team now has a website! Follow this link to learn more about our ministry with the Ayore: http://ayorebolivia.wordpress.com/
