For our most recent update from Blythwood's Bolivia Partners in Mission, Bill and Janice Dyck, please go to their 'Cautiously Optimistic Newsletter' Click Here
Blythwood is a partner with churches of Bolivian Baptist Union to support and encourage their work. This partnership began in 2006. Blythwood's specific partnership is with the Association of Baptist Churches in the Chapare region. Our first mission trip was completed in the spring of 2008. Eleven members of the Blythwood family worked on various ministry projects including children's ministry and the renovation of a former clinic so that it can be used as a ministry training centre. In August 2017, ten from Blythwood and Weston Park Baptist went to Bolivia. This was our third mission trip to Bolivia, visiting Cochabamba and Aquile. It was great to see the Chagas project and Casa de la Amistad up close and spend time with the missionaries our church supports.
