Bringing comfort to the sick and their families in Bolivia

Missionary Pastor Osmel Soliz shares in his latest newsletter that since November, he has been visiting a public hospital in Bolivia alongside Pastor Freddy Otuvo, bringing comfort to the sick and their families through the Word of God.

“Sometimes, church members have joined us, and it has been a time of great learning and comfort for all of us,” he comments.

He writes about a special case involving a little girl named Micaela and her mother, Marisela. They have been in the hospital for a month because Micaela suffers from hydrocephalus and also had a fall at home.

“From the moment I met her, her health was very delicate, and her mother didn’t know what to do or how to help her daughter. She has stayed by her daughter’s side, never leaving her for a moment. I encouraged her to rest in God’s promises, as stated in Psalm 23:4: ‘Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me,’” describes Pastor Osmel.

Micaela’s mother asked him to baptize her daughter after he preached, saying, “When our children are born, they are under our care, but when they are baptized and born again, they are under God’s care, for they are His children.”

“Micaela’s baptism was very special, as it brought great comfort to her mother and sparked curiosity among the doctors and nurses who witnessed it. They took photos and listened to the Gospel. We told them that we would visit the children and adults every Wednesday and Friday and that we are available to share the Word of God and pray for the sick,” says the missionary pastor.

“I ask for your prayers for the families we will visit in the hospital, so that we may be the feet, hands, and voice of Christ among His suffering people,” says Pastor Osmel.
