A Change in Plans....

Friends and Family,
This is a copy of a letter we just sent to all of our team members, explaining a change in our plans. We want each of you to be aware of what is happening so you can better know how to pray for us. PLEASE PRAY...prayer is the most important part of an undertaking such as this. Satan is working hard to keep us home and to keep us from doing what God wants us to do in Caracas. We cannot allow him victory! We pray that only God will have the victory and glory in our work in Caracas.

Dear Team Members,
We have a major development that affects our ministry in Caracas. When Chavez called for the referendum vote on December 2, all baseball games were canceled for the week. That delay caused the baseball season to be extended one week, which in turn caused us to lose our contract on the stadium. Therefore, we will not have the city-wide crusade, but will work through the local churches conducting week-long revivals and various outreach activities. We will still participate in daily one-on-one ministry and evangelism during the day, and our baseball teams will host clinics for the children. Also, the house church planters will work in the local communities to start new congregations.

In regard to your lodging and flights, nothing has changed. Everything is going forward as planned. There is still much work to do in sharing the Gospel and winning lost souls to Christ. Many, many people from all over Venezuela will join us to distribute Bibles and tracts. I believe that God will bless our time with many souls.

Jacobo Garcia and his team of local pastors are planning a crusade in Caracas for the second week in April. We have not yet decided as to our involvement in that effort.

Yours in Christ,
Kerry & Diane


There are over 50 on our team...about 2/3 of them will arrive in Caracas on Jan 18 and stay 10 days. The other 1/3, mostly house church planters, will arrive Jan 23 and stay until Feb 4.
You can get a daily report on this blogsite while we are gone.

Thank you for your support and your prayers!
Kerry & Diane
