CANDELERO KIDS MINISTRY

Making Jesus known in every community: Bolivia

A little bit about the Candelero Kids Ministry

Candelero Kids is a ministry in Bolivia that works with street kids and children/youth at risk. These kids are from very dysfunctional and poverty-stricken homes. The Support Centre, which is open from 8:30 - 4:40 p.m. Monday to Saturday provides a refuge for over 30 kids with a lot of needs, Christian love, listening ears, Bible classes, a good meal, help with school work, and games, are all included at the Centre.


The second part of the Candelero Kids ministry is a Boy's Home, located 15 kms outside the city of Tarija. Twelve boys ages 10-18 live there and receive a healthy home atmosphere in which to grow. God has provided six Christian Bolivian workers for the two ministries.
