It has been go,go,go since we landed in Bolivia but has been worth every minute of being here. We have seen people saved and healed and Pastors encouraged in their ministry. God has and is so good to Donnia and I.

 

First I started teaching at RBTC Bolivia 3 hours in the morning and three hours at night and of course Violeta   Larsson was right beside me, she tends to repeat everything I say, and it’s a good thing too.

During mine and Donnia’s time here I preached at a local AG Church once on a Saturday night for their world missions service then on the Sunday morning service two came the first night to receive the Lord and then 3 the next morning, very exciting to see new people come to the Lord. One of the leaders of the AG Church was a very energetic man named Samuel he is just full of God’s love he and his wife are from Brazil.

The students of RBTC had a special night where they presented a dinner and drama and invited potential Rhema Bible Training Students to attend to get exposed to what RHEMA is all about and hopefully be a first year student in 2012. During this time numbers were called out for people to come up on the platform and answer some pretty tough questions in hopes of winning a full scholarship to RHEMA. Well the numbers were called and the people came up and low and behold Samuel was one of them, this was a real surprise. The questions were asked and Samuel is going to be a first year student in 2012. Wow he was so excited and I was for him, I ask how he first heard about RHEMA he said “I read a book by Bro Hagin called – The Name of Jesus, and it changed my life”.

You can buy this book from our bookstore online at AMI if you don’t see the book you are looking for please write to us and we can help you.

In the mist of doing the teaching we had many planning meetings with David & Violeta about the upcoming year at Rhema Bolivia, we are believing this is going to be one of the best years at RBTC Bolivia. Soon RBTC will be in La Paz.

So things in Bolivia are starting to

take off in a big way, we have great leadership with Pastor David Larsson and it is exciting to see what God is doing in the earth today.

We had some great students and I really feel in my heart that God is going to use many of these students in a big way.

 

After teaching at RBTC it was time to go to Santa Cruz and meet with two 2009 grads from RHEMA USA. There names are Craig & Glenda Hussey and they work for The Gideons International In Canada. They and 18 others from Canada along with Pastor Jim Andrews and about 200 pastors, just spent two weeks in Lima and in Huancayo Peru and after two weeks of ministry in Peru, the team ended up sharing around 47,000 New Testaments printed in Spanish and English with people and helped lead 11,000 people in one on one decisions for Christ this is not counting the schools and large groups of people this is only one on one evangelism.

We all met with them and are planning an out reach for this area as well, this will be coordinated through La Palabra de Fe with Pastor David. We will be working with many Pastors and leaders in the area. We even have an opportunity to reach deeply into the Mennonite community. We heard a dramatic testimony from a missionary that works with the Mennonite people.

 

 

Soon Donnia and I will be going back to Peru for a short time to make final arrangements to to come back to Bolivia. We have so enjoyed our stay and have been treated in the highest way, as you can see Donnia feels right at home. The weather in Bolivia is wonderful and the people are so kind to us here. Needless to say we are really enjoying the food. But we have began to walk around the block every morning for about an hour and are doing some regular exercise.

 

 

 

 

Last Sunday I preached at the central Church La Palabra de Fe for Pastor David Larsson while he went to one of the other La Palabra de Fe Church’s to minister. We had a good service and the people are so full of life and joy. The praise and worship time is absolutely wonderful and rich.

I preached from the book of Joel “Dream a Dream with Me” about vision and the future that God has for you. At the end many people responded to the invitation to renew the dreams God had given them and to pursue them.

 

 

This is missions month at the Church and all around the Church are flags and posters of countries from around the world. The people are excited about world missions and reaching them with the gospel.

 

While in Santa Cruz Donnia and I and David and Violeta were blessed to be able to stay in a very nice resort hotel provided  to the 4 of us by a ministry while we were working in the area. It was really nice and all the expenses were taken care of.

 

We were able to set up meeting’s with many pastors and even get to see some of Santa Cruz, it is very much like Florida kind of hot and muggy.                                                                                                                           

The Lord is so wonderful in all that He does and takes good care of His kids. We thank the ministry and friends that blessed us so much with the wonderful two days in Santa Cruz.

Please continue to pray for the work that is being done through out Latin America and please pray for Donnia and I as we endeavor to follow the Lord wherever He would lead us.
