Prayer Items

Pray for the young people. We are using them to branch out into remote areas, where believers welcome their support and enthusiasm. Those believers felt isolated but now the Lord is showing them the reality of being one body in Christ. Praise the Lord! […]

Pray for Bolivia. It’s been extremely dry during our normal rainy season and many have lost crops due to the lack of rain. On TV, they were asking for people to come and accompany a group who were having a procession, pleading for rain. Also, in some parts of Bolivia there has been a plague […]

In one of my seminars there were people who had taught themselves how to read using the Bible. Educational opportunities are minimal, yet God is using them to share about His love. In Chile, a cherry farmer told me that in all the years he has been a church leader this was the first time […]

Praise the Lord for ministry opportunities among the churches we are working with here in Tarija. We have started to get visitors, some stopping by for a hello, others for counselling. Lori started to receive requests for spiritual counselling visits, which she really enjoys. […]

Portachuelo Christian School had its fourth high school graduation. Eighteen students received their diplomas. Most of them have been exposed to the Gospel for 13 years. Keep these kids in your prayers. Most are from non-Christian families. What a privilege and responsibility to have had a part in their lives. Pray for another 260 students […]

A group of young people in Eastern Bolivia organized a youth Bible conference and both of us were invited to share. We had the opportunity to teach and interact with about 150 young men and women from several communities. It is exciting to see a new generation, many of whom are professionals, rising up and […]

We have been working in a small community where the Lord has blessed. Paraíso is an hour’s drive along a washboard dirt road that is impossible to use if it rains. We feel it is worth the effort as this is a new work. The children are eager to learn and memorize many gospel verses. […]

Wendy taught at a women’s conference. On the last day, she felt led to change her topic, and shared her experience of losing a son to suicide. Many ladies opened up and shared painful experiences. It was liberating for them to know that suffering does not disqualify Christians, but becomes an avenue for God to […]

An instructor from the Bible School took the students to the downtown plaza to do open air evangelism. They had songs and short drama presentations. Nearly all of them found someone to talk to about the Gospel. We pray that the students will see visible fruit. That’s the most potent motivator for young evangelists! […]

Last month has been winter school holidays so we had more than the normal number of retreats at ROCA retreat center. Pray that the convictions and decisions made during the retreat experiences might continue, deepen and grow into lasting transformations. […]

Janice shared materials and ideas with several university students who desire to serve the Lord teaching children. Our local church has two outreaches dedicated to children living in the outskirts of Sucre. The children receive food and help with their school homework and our young people are able to share the love of Jesus with […]

Many people come and go through our lives. Portachuelo has very few opportunities for work. People go to the city. Young people go to college. It creates a flow-through effect that can leave us wondering if we have done much. One man came and wanted to talk to us. He had been in the church […]
