Under the theme “Truth Revealed,” the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Bolivia conducted a nationwide Week of Hope evangelism campaign, organizing nearly 2,500 preaching centers in churches, halls, and public spaces.

Organizers reported participation from more than 15,000 Adventist members and volunteer leaders who supported Bible studies and local programs across every region. According to church figures, the initiative concluded with 2,819 baptisms.

At the same time, the Caravan of Hope traveled from September 23–27, 2025, through the country and concluded in eastern Bolivia. The itinerary featured messages from Edward Heidinger, executive secretary of the South American Division.

Closing programs were held simultaneously in multiple regions, with a central gathering in eastern Bolivia where national and South American church leaders met to mark the end of the campaign.

Church leaders expressed appreciation to members, leaders, and partners involved and said the denomination will continue similar outreach efforts throughout the country.
