Helping Churches be true to the Scriptures
Mache: The great need of the church in Bolivia is for godly pastors and leaders whose passion is to honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures. Mache is such a young man whose commitment is building his life on the Word of God, and then helping people know Jesus. His growing faith is worth imitating. Pastor Pepe has spent much time discipling Mache since his conversion as a boy Observing God’s call on his life for pastoral ministry, in January we invited Mache to enter ILC Church’s PA (pastoral assistant) program. Very quickly Mache grasped the nature of Bible exposition, and is becoming one of our most skilled Bible teachers.
