Operation Harvest was founded in 2002. The Discua family packed their bags in faith that God would lead and moved down to Bolivia, in South America. Bolivia is a landlocked country with the border countries of Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Bolivia has a population of over 10 million people and it is about the size of CA and TX put together! It is known as the "Tibet of the Americas" with the Andes mountains and it's surrounding  known as the Altiplano. Over half of the population of Bolivia lives in the Altiplano.
           The two predominant indigenous groups are the Quechua and Aymara peoples. The Quichua peoples are the largest group of indigenous peoples in the Americas and also the only people who migrated to the  Andes and to the rainforest areas in the Amazon Basin. 
           Through the years the Lord has opened doors for ministry in Bolivia through Children's Centers, soup kitchens, houseboats ministering along the Amazon river tributaries , pastors and leadership seminars as well as taking short term teams down to help in building churches, working in orphanages, doing sports championships in city parks and general upkeep of local Bolivian ministries and churches.
