We recently celebrated Father’s Day here in Bolivia, and each year we have something special at our church also. The date that we celebrate it is a little different than in the US, and it probably is not as big of a deal either. That is why we try and make it special and recognize the privilege and responsibility it is to be a father. We had guests visiting that were here for our Pastor’s Conference so they were able to preach in the different churches. I translated at our current church, and a friend translated for one of the other visitors at our first church in Cochabamba. We had a great group in each meeting and several that were visiting. We also had a special meal afterwards in each church and gave a special gift to each father. In Cochabamba they had a dish called Fricas\u00e9, which is chicken, pork, chu\u00f1o (freeze dried potato) and corn, and received a book on parenting. In Pacata we had Salte\u00f1as, which is like a hot pocket but served for breakfast and a small screw driver set as a gift. We also had a message on several principles of being a biblical father. It was great to see both churches full and to be able to honor and encourage that father’s of our churches. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
