Bolivia is a country of 9 million people in South America. It is the poorest, most under developed country on the continent with over two-thirds of the population living in poverty. Bolivia has a large indigenous Indian culture making up over 60% of the population. It is a beautiful country containing rain forests, plains and towering mountains.

In Bolivia, MCM International works in conjunction with Alas de Fe Ministries based in La Paz. In 2007/2008, Matt Clayton spent 9 months living and working in Bolivia. During his time there, Matt revolutionized the childrens ministry, leading the program to more than double in size. He helped build a public playground (the first of its type in the area), furnish a functional feeding center, and develop media with which to connect Alas de Fe Ministries and American churches.

MCMINTL continues to provide monthly support for the childrens ministry and funding for a future feeding center in La Paz.
