Vacation Bible School in Bolivia
"Young people under the age of 15 comprise a substantial proportion of the population and churches in South America. Mission worker Margrit Kipfer de Barrón organized the vacation Bible schools in Bolivia and wrote the Bible lessons. Throughout the year she works with the Bolivia Mennonite Church to provide the new Spanish Anabaptist curriculum, Teach Us Your Ways! for children’s Sunday school classes. Every three months they hold a workshop for Sunday school teachers to help them use the curriculum and provide practical help in the use of crafts and visual aids, along with motivating them for their task and helping teachers grow spiritually."— Excerpt from Spring 2004 Mustard Seeds (PDF).
