Description:

The Nazarene Bolivian Seminary (SENABOL) has served as a cornerstone for theological education since the 1960s, when the first missionaries established the campus. While the seminary has made occasional improvements over the years, much of its infrastructure dates back to its early decades and is now showing significant deterioration. As the surrounding community expanded, portions of the original property were reduced through land sales, public road development, and required green spaces.

In addition to these changes, the seminary now faces serious concerns related to boundary security. In areas where walls were never clearly established, particularly along the hillside, neighboring landowners have taken advantage of the undefined borders, encroaching on seminary property. Several sections of the perimeter are marked only by aging barbed-wire fencing or severely deteriorated walls, leaving the campus vulnerable to further encroachment and legal challenges.

To protect the remaining property and ensure the long-term stability of the institution, urgent intervention is needed. Clearly defining and securing the seminary’s boundaries is essential to safeguarding its mission, preserving its land, and providing a safe and stable environment for students, faculty, and future ministry leaders.
