University Residence Project

An excerpt from...

University Residence Project

A ministry dream becoming reality through partnership
By Rachel Kerney, Bolivia
January-March 2014


University Residence ProjectPrayer letter sent December 2012:Pastor Sergio and his wife, Fanny, have a dream for a Christian university residence. It will house university students from surrounding rural communities and other parts of Bolivia and will be a refuge to provide adequate lodging and spiritual discipleship for these young people.

God has put it on our hearts to be facilitators of the University Residence Project, serving alongside Pastor Sergio and Fanny. Our part is to raise money to buy the land and build the first floor of the building. We will help research and prepare a discipleship program for the students. We will also work with Pastor Sergio to formulate functional culturally appropriate lifestyle guidelines for the residents.

We have the money to purchase the land! We still need to raise $35,000 to build the first phase of the building. Can you give toward this project?

Prayer letter update sent July 2013:
Thank the Lord for the $17,000 raised for the University Residence. We appreciate the churches in Texas that have taken a special interest in raising funds for this project.

David and I will be working together with Pastor Sergio as we continue to define this project and determine how it will work in conjunction with the national church in the department of Chuquisaca.

Join the University Residence Project:
More partners are needed to build this dream. Will you consider joining the community that will build the first phase of the building?
