Students from Ecuador College Adventist Academy (CADE) spent part of their vacation on a mission trip to Bolivia as part of the Generation Service project, an initiative designed to help students understand service as part of their education and find opportunities to use their skills to help others.

The students participated in various activities at the Rosas Adventist Church, where they collaborated to improve the spaces and carried out integration activities with the community.

Activities included painting and refurbishing the facilities, workshops, and working with different church groups. CADE also made a financial contribution to improve the congregation's classrooms.

For students, the mission trip allowed them to use their skills and time for service while experiencing a new culture.

As part of the experience, students, teachers, and a pastor from CADE visited the Central Bolivia Mission (Misión Bolíviana Central, MBC) offices.

During the visit, they learned about some of the projects and work areas being developed MBC's territory.

The tour taught participants how the Adventist Church's work is organized in Bolivia and broadened their understanding of mission.

Rosas Adventist Church leaders expressed gratitude for the students' participation and highlighted their willingness to collaborate during the visit. “Thank you, CADE, for coming to Bolivia and putting your gifts toward God's service. Every moment of service, every word of hope, and every gesture of love was an opportunity to reflect Christ,” they said.

For CADE, the Generation Service project complements academic training with concrete opportunities for service and mission, allowing students to develop their skills while learning about other cultures and participating in service projects.
