Bolivia: the name comes from Simón Bolívar, the hero of the independence of Bolivia from the land crown in 1825. Bolivia, amongst the worst countries of Latin America, has such natural beauty: the Andes mountains, the broad altiplano and Lake Titicaca. Of its population of 9.7 meg grouping (estimate in 2009), approximately 30% are Quechua, 30% are integrated race, 25% are Aymara, and about 15% are white or of European origins. Margot Quelka is a enrollee cheater of Aymara origin. She is conception of CCU (the IFES shitting in Bolivia) in La Paz and she shares about her experience in the movement: 'I believe that most of us struggled both with God and ourselves when God titled us to the enrollee ministry in the university. It's so such easier to go to establishment on Sunday, be conception of the youth group, be enclosed by brothers and sisters in Christ and by grouping who see the philosophy and accept it, and then the rest of the hebdomad to go to university, be amongst friends but never sharing our faith. We become conception of them. Maybe we don't get inebriate and swear, but all the same, we are camouflaged amongst them. 'The occupation in the Lincoln sets a contest before us because we should not rest silent. We should permit God ingest our lives to reach out to grouping with whom we deal our lives throughout the week, between exams and work. 'When God calls us to impact in CCU, he entrusts something rattling essential into our safekeeping â€" our friends, our classmates and another grouping who we might not know. And he says: "Trust that I will countenance after it; it is bonded in your hands. Trust that you crapper do this work." It is not cushy because we have to ready a equilibrise among our studies, kinsfolk and work. As well, we requirement to ready looking for business effectuation to springy patch also staying in fellowship with God. It's not an cushy mission. But he trusts that we crapper do it, he calls us wherever we become from, with our doubts, insecurities and failures. Each one of us is a attestator of God, not only in CCU but also in our whole lives as he fashions us same the clay in his hands.' Give thanks to God for the activity and warning of Margot. At this time, CCU rattling needs role models in activity to deal the philosophy in the universities. Please pray that the students of CCU might be holistically drilled to deal Savior Christ in their own experience of life. Pray for the students in their regular effort to attain ends meet.
