Dear precious saints,
Some of the more major events that took place since my last prayer letter were:
MARCH – Spoke in an old but new church, old in term of years but new in term of missions. I believe that this is another potential church for missions in the days to come. I was invited to give a basic missionary message because the church had no idea about doing missions overseas let alone heard of the “10/40 windows”. Pray for the “Iglesia Alto Pagador”.
APRIL – I had the privilege of having Neal Pirolo stayed over at my house when he came and do some missions seminar here in Cochabamba. Neal is the author of the book “Serving As Senders” which has been translated into many languages of the world. Also helped him translate some of his meetings in different churches and places.
MAY – Played host to the director for Latin America of Frontiers. Again many lives were challenged as needs were presented to those who came for the seminar.
The church from La Paz again invited me for their annual mission conference as one of the main speakers and I not only had the opportunity to speak about missions but also shared the Lord with some who haven’t heard about the Gospel before, prayed for others in one social event and managed to get a key contact to follow up for the Lord in Cochabamba. An encouraging note about this mission conference is that there are many who came from different denominations and a good number of them were exposed for the very first time in the area of missions. I would say many, if not all were so blessed and as a result I had a number of invitations to speak in the different churches in La Paz. The last day I gave a missionary challenge in the church and many came forward to be prayed for. It was a new group of people that wasn’t in the conference itself.
It was a relief to return to Cochabamba because a day after, the social situation in La Paz was anything but “Paz” (peace in Spanish). Roads were all blocked up and smoke started to rise from burning tires, etc. The days ahead for Bolivia don’t look too good because once again we are up with social confrontations and unrests.
Living by God’s mercy and grace
Henry
