The days are flying by here in Bolivia!
Yesterday, the 'equipo misionero de Five Talents' (mission team from Five Talents) was the guest of honor at the monthly meeting on the Evangelical Pastors' Association of Tarija. I did a brief intro on the mission of Five Talents and where we operate; Tom presented on poverty and holistic development; and Sara and Eva did a fabulous job presenting Semillas de Bendición and the different models for savings and loans groups. There was a lot of audience participation and laughter!
We were also treated to a professional guitarist as a musical interlude during a break. The exciting thing was that we were expecting about 40 pastors and leaders to come and 85 showed up!!! Clearly, there is a big interest and need for Christian microenterprise development here in Tarija!
During our snack break, we munched on salteñas, which are a typical food here -- like an empanada (meat pie) but with more hot liquid inside. Definitely burned my chin on spurting salteña juice the other night...
