Really??

Really? It's been TWO years since there was a post to this blog? Although there has been an obvious lack of activity on our blog, there has been plenty of activity in Venezuela in the arena of sharing the Gospel. In 2009 there was a big crusade event in Maracaibo, and there have been numerous smaller mission trips to various cities throughout Venezuela. At a recent meeting of UBLA (United Baptists of Latin America) in Costa Rica, it was reported that the number of new believers in Venezuela is growing faster than the population! Go back and read that again! Can you believe that? When we went to Caracas in 2008, there were approximately 60 New Testament churches in the greater Caracas area. Now there are a little over 100 churches, most of which were direct products of the Caracas evangelistic effort in January of '08. And this does not even take into account the number of house church groups that have been established since that time. God is alive and well in Venezuela, and the people are sitting up and taking notice!! Praise God!!
