At Breath of Life International our mission is simple but bold:
We mobilize and make disciples of Jesus who transform communities.
At BOLI, we fight poverty through the demonstration and proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ and through holistic community development. We engage whole communities in economic, safety, educational, veterinary, health care, agricultural, water, and sanitation development. At the same time, we proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and plant churches, empowering the most poverty-stricken communities in their journey to a life full of dignity, justice, peace, love, faith, and hope.
We believe God is raising up a new missionary force from Latin America and USA Hispanics to reach the unreached peoples of the world and BOLI is uniquely equipped to prepare, train, and send them.
