Hello! I'm Yesmi, a Bolivian native with a degree in Linguistics, specializing in Spanish. As a seasoned teacher of children and teenagers, I've honed my skills in cultural and linguistic training. For the past five years, I've had the privilege of serving with Go Missions, a ministry in rural Bolivia, where I've been blessed to mobilize missionaries. Now, I'm excited to guide foreign missionaries in learning Spanish, sharing our rich culture, and fulfilling the Great Commission: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel..." (Mark 16:15).
Hello! I'm Andrea, with a background in theology. During my seminary days, I was inspired by missionaries preparing to serve in Latin America. Their dedication and passion left a lasting impact on my life. Now, I'm honored to equip new missionaries to serve in Bolivia and other Spanish-speaking countries.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, spanning children to adults, and a heart for local missions, I'm passionate about empowering others to spread the gospel.
Andrea Troche founded EPM and began operations in 2009 in the town of Caranavi. The initiative was formed to support a discipleship school by providing study scholarships for young people from rural areas. Currently, EPM supports missions in Bolivia, especially for the evangelism of children in the poorest regions of La Paz. Andrea and Yesmi dedicate their time to serving the Lord in various ministries.
