Development of Churches in the Eastern District #07762A
The Eastern District of the Evangelical Methodist Church in Bolivia (IEMB) is a very large geographical area that includes the Departments of Santa Cruz, the Beni and the Pando. The churches of this district are located in central areas, urban neighborhoods and rural areas, and there exist many opportunities for growth and evangelization both in the cities and in the rural areas.
It is urgent that the district reinforce the established churches through courses and workshops, materials and follow-up visits. It is also necessary to help the local leaders be more effective in their teachings and worship service messages and in how to lead worship, so that the members mature in faith and participate in ministry to achieve church growth. The persons that will be helped by this project are female and males leaders who are voluntarily helping their churches in leadership positions.
