4 Months Until Departure

Dear family and friends,

Exciting news!! We are about 4 months away from relocating to Bolivia! Our family has sensed God’s call to go and serve in cross-cultural mission work. We are thrilled about the opportunity that we have been given to make a difference at Casa de Amor, an orphanage and children’s home in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Our role at Casa de Amor will be to serve as house parents for up to 8-10 children. This model is similar to the foster care system we have in the US and will allow us to give personalized attention to each child in our care. By doing this, the children will learn to function in a normal family setting, therefore preparing them for their “forever families” upon adoption.

We eagerly invite all of you to join in this adventure with us! We are stepping out in faith and trusting God to provide all of our needs. There are many practical ways that you can help:

PRAY- We humbly ask that you cover us in prayer in these days to come. We will be making several decisions very soon regarding the future of our family. Once we are on the ground, we will also need your continued prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God’s leading in ministry. Without prayer, nothing will happen. (1 Thes. 5:17)
GIVE- You can make a one time, or recurring monthly donation to support the work we are doing. As missionaries we only receive financial support from family, friends and churches who believe in the ministry. We do not receive financial compensation from the orphanage. (3 John 5-8)
SHARE- You can be instrumental in sharing our story with your friends and family. The more people we have praying for us the better. Please feel free to pass on our information to anyone you feel would be interested.
INVOLVE- We would love to come speak at your church, small group or Sunday school class to share about the ministry.
GO- There will be opportunities to go to Bolivia on short-term mission trips to experience God’s work first hand. More details to come. (Acts 1:8)

Please check out our blog at themitchellsinbolivia.blogspot.com for updates. If you would like to be put on our email list, please send your email information to onmission247@ymail.com. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to support our ministry please send me an email for details.

We are counting down the days and humbly ask that you consider joining us on this journey.

In His Love,

T.J., Tammy and Madison Mitchell
