"Over half the population are children or teenagers"


"50% of the all the world's cocaine is grown in Bolivia"


Read about Bolivia in: 
 
Bolivia
"one of the poorest countries in the Americas"
Bolivia is rich in natural resources - but a history of unstable governments has meant that it is still one of the poorest countries in the Americas.
Recently the government has tried to clamp down on farmers growing cocaine crops - but many farmers dont have any other way to make a living.

Youth Facts
Bolivia has the world's highest golf course, ski run and soccer stadium.

Answers to Prayer
The Aymara people, descendents from the Incas, are turning to Christ - 20% of them are now born-again Christians.
There is spiritual hunger among the Bolivian army and many are becoming Christians.

Challenges for Prayer
50% of the all the world's cocaine is grown in Bolivia. Pray for the country's Christian leaders and political leaders as they try to deal with the issue - pray that they would have integrity and concern for the families who depend on the money they make from the crops.
Churches are growing, but because many people can't read it can be a challenge to teach the bible. Pray that leaders can creatively disciple people so that they fully understand the gospel and what God wants for their lives.
Over half the population are children or teenagers but the church doesn't understand how to reach out to them and bring them into a relationship with God.
Over 80% of children live in extreme poverty and thousands are addicted to drugs. Pray that Christians can make a lasting difference in their lives and also work to bring changes in goverment that can address this crisis.
