Spiritual Training Centre
‘Bibelcenter Arche’


Who are we?

The Bible Centre ‘Arche’ is a project of ‘Bolivienhilfe’. The project is run by Mennonite congregations from Germany (originally from Russia) in collaboration with Mennonite congregations in Bolivia. As in Germany, so too in Bolivia, a working group has been formed amongst Mennonite congregations, known by the abbreviation AGUM.

What do we aim to achieve?

We want people to come to know the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. And once they have come to a living faith, we want them to grow in that faith and become disciples of Jesus.

What do we do?

The ‘Arche’ Bible Centre offers training for church workers, provides Bible teaching for various groups, and organises leisure activities for church, youth and family groups to help them be strengthened in their faith.

What is the aim?

The aim of the Bible Centre’s work is to teach Jesus’ disciples how to follow him, and to provide spiritual education and leisure activities for church communities and families. ‘Arche’ is not intended for economic, political or questionable cultural or sporting events, but for spiritual edification.

Bible Exhibition.

Our main focus is the Bible exhibition. The aim of the Bible exhibition is to set out God’s plan of salvation for humanity throughout history, to emphasise the credibility of the Bible, and to familiarise visitors with the Bible through visual aids.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
Hebrews 13:8
