On Sunday afternoon, a bus that was travelling from Villazon to Tarija lost control and crashed. 28 died including a pastor and a youth from one of the churches here in Tarija. I was at the funeral yesterday and I can only describe it as bittersweet. Pastor Choque was in his early 30's and had definitely had impact in his community and congregation. The youth was only 15 years old. That's not even talking about the others who died including entire families. But there was rejoicing as well and the pledge to continue to serve God.
Please, please be praying for the families who have lost their loved ones, for the congregation (Gnezereth) that lost their pastor and one of their youth, and for the community in general here.
Blessings,
rebecca
