Beth Boven

Hi! My name is Beth Boven. I have recently started my first term as a missionary associate with the Assemblies of God.

I am currently based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, ministering to children. Nestled in the heart of a valley near the mountains of this city stands a place of HOPE. Cochabamba is a city where three children under the age of six that are abandoned daily, prisons are also full of children forced to live with their inmate parent because there is no other family to take care of them, and no other place for them to go. Many times these children have to sleep on the hard, cold concrete floors because there is no bed for them. Meals are not provided in the prison - unless you have money to pay for them, so these children often go hungry. Most do not even have warm clothes or blankets for the cold winter nights in the Andean Mountains of Bolivia. If all of this was not bad enough, quite often older children are randomly removed from the prison due to over crowding and forced to live on the streets - with no means to survive.

In the midst of these desperate situations, The Bolivian Hope Center was formed!

The Bolivian Hope Center (BHC) is a home where up to 40 children can live in a safe environment, with their own beds, education, medical care, no more food insecurity, and a whole lot of love and support.

I am here to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of these kids, as well as other children in the community.

I am so excited to be working with the team here in Bolivia, and daily letting each of these kids know how special they are to us and to the Lord.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support as I follow God's calling of missions on my life!
