Bolivia

Bolivia

Bolivia is characterized by the high "altiplano" in the south and west, and tropical lowlands in the north and east. It is one of two landlocked republics in the Americas.

The institutional Church is well-established in Bolivia, with nearly 90% affiliation. By some estimates, however, 58% of the population are practicing animists. Ten percent overall are evangelical Protestants. (Johnstone, 1993)

In 1938 the World Mission Prayer League established its first Latin American missionary conference — here, in Bolivia. Since then a strong Lutheran national church has emerged among Aymara, Quechua, and Spanish speaking peoples — a testimony to God’s faithfulness throughout the years. Prayer League missionaries serve in evangelism, church planting, leadership training, radio and education.
