Brayan Llano is a young Christian leader in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Over the course of two years of interaction with Brayan it has become obvious that he shares many of the core values of Senderis: an interest in theological education, interdenominational work, and training pastors who lack resources. Because of this and because of his expressed interest in working with us, we have entered into a partnerships which will greatly help Senderis achieve its mission of training pastors and leaders in Latin America, specifically, in Bolivia.

Areas of work: Brayan will work with Senderis in the following areas:

• Coordination of conferences and teaching events throughout Bolivia. Brayan is already working on an event in March 2011.
• Train pastors in “el campo” (the countryside). Pastors working in the valleys surrounding Cochabamba lack the training and resources to do their work and very little is being done to help them by the institutions in the city. Part of this training will be the development, in partnership with Senderis director Rob, of a course of study for these pastors and leaders.
• Brayan is also a talented web programmer. He will help Senderis maintain web sites and create new ones as needed (ex. Web sites for individual conferences). This includes not only Senderis sites, but the sites that Senderis hosts for other ministries.
• We also discussed the possibility that Brayan could coordinate short-term mission trips in Bolivia through his contacts in the rural areas around Cochabamba, should Senderis go that direction.
