The Angels Rejoice but Satan’s not happy

The Bible tells us that there is joy in heaven for every sinner that repents. Recently in our church the Lord has given us some great victories. I have written in the past about Edwardo and his desire to see his family saved. Yesterday he called me to tell me that he went and spoke with his mom a very devout Catholic. He said for the first time she didn’t argue. After talking for a good while she prayed and trusted Christ as Savior. When we first started the church among the teenagers that came there was one guy that came but he was anti American and didn’t seem to like us much. He has come off and on since then and we have prayed for him a lot. Recently I noticed that he was coming and instead of joking during the invitation he would look around to see if anyone was raising their hands. This past Wednesday after church he told me that he had trusted Christ at home by himself and wanted a Bible to be able to read. This along with two people that were saved during camp has been truly a blessing in our church. Of course we know that this does not make Satan happy and we have had several under attack. We had one of our teenagers that out of the blue his mom told him they were going to Argentina and they left. One teenage girl that dedicated her life during the camp was told by her mom that she couldn’t go to church any more because she was changing to drastically. Also one of the young guys that who was formerly a Mormon was told by his parents that he could no longer go to our church and had to return to theirs. It is no coincidence that the Lord is working in lives of each of these in a great way. We would ask that you pray that we will continue to see sinners come into the fold and that the Lord will shelter all from the attacks of the enemy.

Going Camping

In the first part of January the young people of the church had the opportunity to go camp. We had 18 total with fourteen young people and four adults that traveled from Bolivia to the country of Peru to the coast for the Extreme Camp 2008. The group left here at 11:00 pm at night and arrived to the city of Arequipa where we once lived at 10:00 pm the next night. There they spent the night and left the next day for a three hour trip to the city of Camaná at the coast. This camp was put on by the Faith Baptist Church and the brother of Jorge our partner in the ministry here. Many were very excited to go because they had never left the country and most had never seen the ocean before because Bolivia is a landlocked country. At first it was a bit of an adjustment with the heat and conditions but in all two trusted Christ as Savior and almost all of the others came back with a much greater desire to be an Extreme Christian and to serve the Lord.
