La Paz Sanctuary Report and Photo Journal

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 10:27:47 -0600

For the past 8 months Rev. David Quisbert and the La Paz Bible Presbyterian Church (La Paz, Bolivia) has been building a new sanctuary to replace the old one crushed by heavy snows several years ago. With assistance from PMU and churches of the Great Lakes Presbytery, the congregation has sacrificed and labored to ready the new sanctuary for its official dedication on December 2. Dr. Pine, Dr. Kevin Backus (Grand Island, NY), Rev. Tim Miessler (Cincinnati, OH), and Elder Philip Resnick (Cincinnati, OH) traveled to La Paz to participate in the celebration. The attached photo journal of the construction progress will bless your heart as you view it! Please pray for the congregation as they continue on in their building project all the way to completion, as the Lord wills.

PMU: A Servant of Christ's Church

General Facts

Bible Presbyterians are a small but vigorous group of people who seek to maintain a strong connection to our separated, Reformed roots. We also desire to faithfully minister to the Body of Christ and win souls both at home and abroad. Love of missions, evangelism, and sound Bible instruction stir the hearts of our people. The denomination approves two mission boards, two schools, and a publishing arm as independent agencies of the Church.

The Reformed Faith: A Brief and Simple Statement

By Dr. Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield

[This is one of the most useful and succinct summaries of the Reformed faith available. Please feel free to download the PDF file should you wish to reproduce and distribute this tract.]

The Bible I believe that my one aim in life and death should be to glorify God and enjoy him forever; and that God teaches me how to glorify him and enjoy him in his holy word, that is, the Bible, which he has given by the infallible inspiration of his Holy Spirit in order that I may certainly know what I am to believe concerning him and what duly he requires of me.

God I believe that God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and incomparable in all that he is; one God but three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—my Creator, my Redeemer, and my Sanctifier: in whose power and wisdom, righteousness, goodness and truth I may safely put my trust.
