Highlands Bring Joy to Bolivia !

'The River' Youth from Community Bible Church of Highlands has gone international! Bringing a huge heart to serve & love, they came to Bolivia & held nothing back. Lead by Pastors Greg S. & Jimmy B., along w/ the uber-talented Steve & Corrie and pilot/developer/father of the trip J.B.; this was needless to say, a well rounded group. They were warriors in the trench at the girls' home, shared their life stories & a wonderful time of worship w/ the boys, went into nasty sewers to bring street kids into the light of day & encourage them to come off of the streets, taught us about the ways of 'ninja,' & were always looking for what else they could do to help. We were all really impressed w/ their up for anything attitudes, promptness & overall witness. We miss them & hope they'll be back soon. Thanks guys!
