Last night we had a missions call night. 35 people young and old came forward. God is moving in Latin America, calling his church to world wide evangelism. Sheryl and I started praying for the people, Suddenly, there was an explosion of joy and praise broke forth like a spring breaking out of the rock.. It was incredible. People 60 and 70 years old were dancing in joy before the Lord. Kechwa Indians, who never change facial expressions were shouting in joy. Deep profound roars of praise errupting from their innermost being. God's army preparing to launch an offensive with their mission efforts. Latin America is God's net to harvest the Islamic world for his glory. What a joy to be involved in doing what God has called us to do, prepare his church for world wide evangelism. We hope that Sucre, like Cuernavaca, becomes a center of world wide Latin American mission to the Middle and Far East.
That evening, 25 people complained of joint, bone, and muscle pain, and the Lord loosed his healing upon them. Some who had pain just walking were leaping in praise to God. It was incredible to be involved in what God was doing. Sheryl joined the musicians on the stage and started singing with them. I have no idea at what time of the night we ended up home and asleep.
Suddenly, at 730 AM, I awoke and remembered that 10 pastors from the city of Sucre were arriving in a short time to hear teaching, training and mentoring on evangelism. I barely had my pants and shirt on when one of them was knocking on the door.
Thank goodness for Sheryl and Mauri, our hostess, who quickly got things organized, while I was able to teach the pastors how to share the gospel to produce disciples by preaching repentence, the Lordship of Christ, and total commitment to his cause. We have another pastoral breakfast tomorrow, and our evangelism training, Opèning Doors, and Spreading the Seed start on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I will be preaching three times on Sunday, so please, keep me in prayer for strength. Also pray for Sheryl who will be singing and sharing music with all of the musicians that attend our training program. She will also be working with drama, so her schedule is as hectic as mine.
Thank you so much for your prayers for us, and the special financial blessings that have helped us to do God's will here in Bolivia.
Andy
