Operation Bolivia

We would like to thank each of you for your prayers for the need to purchase land in Cobija. We currently have $1500 promised for the land and are praying that the Lord will supply the rest. As one of our ministries here in Bolivia that we are helping get started our goal is to help them become a self supporting church. Unfortunately, the land that we were looking at has been sold; so we are now looking at other lots that are not too much more expensive than the other. Brother Lorenzo Laura the pastor there in Cobija wrote me recently to tell me about the situation they are in. They are now renting a small room where they are having services. Close by there is a night club where there is lots of drinking and worldly activities. Several times they have had drunken people enter in the service and they had to call the police to remove them. Some of the people are now not wanting to go to church for fear of what is taking place. This church is in desperate need for their own land and building. Our desire is to purchase land as soon as possible and then begin building them a church building and parsonage where they can live. This would allow the church to function normally and begin to take responsibility for its own expenses. Please pray for this great need and opportunity.

This November we had our first Financial Conference here in Bolivia. I was truly a blessing to us and many of the people in the church. There were almost fifteen people visiting for the first time and several that had visited before and returned for this special event. On Saturady we had over 70 in attendance with a banquet that followed. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the conference and even stayed afterward to ask questions. On Sunday the people learned about how our priorities can affect us in our lives. After the service one of the men gave testimony of how he had been planning to move to another country to work. He said that after the message he decided to stay and serve the Lord which is more important. We praise the Lord for His blessings.
