2018 Bolivia Mission
Mountain Christian Church sent a team of ten volunteers to Sucre, Bolivia to serve alongside Food for the Hungry staff. Volunteers served as nurses, friends, Bible teachers and more. Thank you for praying for the team and those they met throughout their trip!
Food for the Hungry Child Sponsorship
The MCC congregation currently sponsors 130 children living in or around Villa Margarita, a small village in Bolivia, through Food for the Hungry (FH). MCC has set a goal to sponsor an additional 20 children every year because they have seen how sponsorship transforms lives: for the children, families and those sponsoring.
In addition to the financial committment, sponsors are encouraged to write letters. For many, this also means recurring mission trips to Bolivia. Since 2009, MCC has sent 15 mission teams to Sucre and more than 80 volunteers!
Throughout the mission trip volunteers often have the opportunity to go with FH staff to meet their sponsored children. During visits it is common for FH staff to sit with a family, their Bible open, talking about Jesus and scriptural life principles. The power of the gospel transforms children, families, communities and volunteers.
We want these children to know that they are loved, both by the volunteers and by a big God who is without borders.
It begins by sponsoring a child!

Why sponsor a child with FH?
When you sponsor a child through Food for the Hungry, you join FH in walking with that child—along with the child’s family and community—as they move from struggling to thriving. Through consistent monthly support, letters and prayers—you and your sponsored child build a relationship that makes a lasting difference.
