We had 92 in attendance that morning for our anniversary service with a special birthday cake that we all blew out at the end. Then we had 69 for the night service at which time we organized the church and had those who would become charter members sign the membership book. We had a special speaker Pastor Miguel Murillo who is the director of the Macedonia Baptist Seminary and pastor of the Hunter Baptist Church in Arequipa Peru assist in the service. We had around 35 or 40 that became charter meembers. The Lord has truly blessed us since we started a little over a year ago. We have seen our attendance grow to\u00a0an average of between 50 and 60 and have seen many people saved.\u00a0We also are working with some 15 people in discipleship and have about 6 or 8 guys that are helping as leaders in the church. Please pray that the Lord will raise up leaders to take the gospel to Bolivia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/ann1.jpg\" title=\"ann1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/ann1.jpg\" alt=\"ann1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/ann2.jpg\" title=\"ann2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/ann2.jpg\" alt=\"ann2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedburner.com\/fb\/a\/emailverifySubmit?feedId=592963\">Subscribe to Operation Bolivia by Email<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past month not only did we have our first baptismal service but we also had our first\u00a0 anniversary of the church\u00a0on the 9th of September.
