As we finish up our 8 days in this beautiful state of Merida, we realize that we are not finished at all. God has done many wonderful and powerful things here through us, through the Venezuelan volunteers who have come from all over Venezuela, and through the members of the local churches here. We have seen close to 1,000 new Christians in the areas of Merida, El Vigia, and Mucachies, and the town just up the mountain from Mucachies. But many more seeds have been planted, and we leave today praying the God will send Christians to further nurture the seeds until they bloom in the hearts of His children.
Over the next few weeks there will be reports from those who have had the opportunity to spend a short time here in this little corner of the world. I will share them on this blog, and where I can, I will try to have some of them translated into Spanish for our friends in Venezuela.
We will travel today back down the mountain to El Vigia, join our friends who have been working there, then fly to Caracas. Joining us will be four young students from Texas who are finishing up two months of working in this area with Go Now Missions through the Baptist General Convention of Texas. We will stay overnight in Caracas, then fly home on Monday.
Please pray for our safe travel back home. Also please continue to pray for the people of Venezuela, especially the people of Merida, Barinas, Trujillo, and Portuguesa who have experienced this week of intense evangelism. Pray for the Venezuelan volunteers and the local church members as they disciple the new Christians and continue to share the Gospel here in this country.
