Joelle (Loewen) and Christian Byren are working in Tarija, Bolivia discipling men, women and couples for the kingdom of God. There is a deep-rooted lack of personal and Christ-like identity due to the communist government, and religious and traditional culture. Even within the churches, there is strife and division amongst each other and a lack of discipleship as part of their programs.
I Joelle Byren, started Seeds of Purpose in 2018 with one mentor group and 7 women from 3 different churches. I focused on discipling them in their relationship with God and encouraging them to develop and serve using their gifts. Developing this ministry was always intended for building the body of Christ and serving all churches in Tarija. Today Christian and Joelle have 4 women’s groups, 1 men’s group and 1 couples group.
With your prayers and your support, we can continue growing the body of Christ and developing Christians with a strong Christ-like Identity.
