Chenoa update: In 2016 Trinity United Presbyterian Church formed a relationship with PC(USA) Mission Co-worker, Chenoa Stock. At that time she was serving in Bolivia, but has since moved to Peru.

"Chenoa Stock serves in Peru as delegation and partnership coordinator. She works with PC(USA) delegations to foster partnerships with our Peruvian covenant partners, the Evangelical Church of Peru (IEP) and the Joining Hands Peru Network.

Chenoa organizes, accompanies, and interprets for visiting delegations, helping to ensure that these visits reflect the mutual mission priorities of the partners. She sets up in-country logistics, assists in planning itineraries, and works with trip leaders and the communities that are visited by the delegations."

You can read Chenoa's full bio here.

You can also visit her image gallery from her time in Bolivia.

August 2016

Trinity United Presbyterian Church has formed a relationship with PC(USA) Mission Co-worker, Chenoa Stock. Chenoa is a companionship facilitator for the Joining Hands for Life Network, Bolivia. Joining Hands is an initiative of the Presbyterian Hunger Program that addresses the root causes of hunger, poverty, and injustice through networks of churches and non-governmental organizations in developing countries. In Bolivia, the Joining Hands Network is called UMAVIDA, which is a Spanish acronym for 'Joining Hands for Life'. UMAVIDA's concerns include environmental contamination from the mining industry and issues related to land and health. It also educates youth about the growing water-related issues and works to empower communities, specifically women, to exercise their human rights. Chenoa acts as a bridge between UMAVIDA and its partner presbyteries and congregations in the United States.

Chenoa is a native of Pittsburgh and the daughter of Presbyterian co-pastors. Following her graduation from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, she became a Presbyterian Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) in Kerala, India, where she taught English for a primary school of the women's group, Sevika Sanghorn of the Marthoma Church. Her supervisor, the Rev. Thomas John, was the YAV site coordinator and companionship facilitator for the India Joining Hands Network. Chenoa and the other YAVs were challenged by him to question poverty and injustice and to search their call as Christians. About a year after finishing her assignment in India, Chenoa accepted a mission appointment in Sri Lanka as companionship facilitator for the newly formed Joining Hands Network, Praja Abhilasha (People's Aspirations). This network was created after the 2006 tsunami, whose destruction affected many fishing communities and their right to land and water. This situation was also complicated by the three-decade long civil war, and Chenoa and the network worked with communities to protect the interests of fishermen, tea plantation workers and their families.

Chenoa realized the call to justice and to walk with our neighbors had become deeply ingrained in her. Micah 6:8's call 'to do justice, love kindness, and to walk humbly with God' expresses her sense of call to her assignment in Bolivia. Chenoa has been in her position as Mission Co-worker in Bolivia since January 2011, and her mission service with PC(USA) began in July 2006. She has been married to her husband Jose' Luis Claure Villarroel, who is from Bolivia, since August 15, 2015.
