The Mission Society co-hosted an International Mobilization Conference with Word Made Flesh Flesh outside of La Paz, Bolivia September 1-4, 2013. Word Made Flesh is a Christian non-profit organization committed to service among the most vulnerable of the urban poor.

Dr. Darrell Whiteman, vice president for mobilization and training and resident missiologist, along with Dr. Denny Heiberg, a Mission Society missionary, expanded the group’s understanding of worldview, cross-cultural ministry and discipleship. Andy and Andrea Baker, Mauricio Meneses, and Erlan Gonzales from Word Made Flesh, spoke to the local tensions and realities. 

The conference was attended by 135 pastors, missionaries, and church leaders who represented 95 different congregations from throughout the country.

Dr. Whiteman commented after the conference, “On the last night, 20 pastors pulled me to the side with a request. They were all from the Oruro area, three hours south of La Paz. They said that they had never heard this kind of teaching before, but that it touched on real challenges they faced in their churches. These pastors are passionate about sharing this message with other church leaders in their area. They agreed to cover all the expenses if we would come back next year, and said they would have at least 200 participants. I was so moved by their sincerity and passion that we began to plan the next day to see if we could possibly make it happen.”
