It´s been a while...

Wow, sorry it has been so long since I last updated the blog. Life has been pretty busy down here the last month or so. My team leader had been on vacation and that meant more responsibilities for me while he was gone. We celebrated Fathers Day yesterday with just over 100 people in attendance! Praise God! We have been blessed with growth recently in the youth group and even baptized a few people this past week! Again we praise God for all the work He is doing here in Venezuela! I am getting ready to move to the town of Cua where the church is located. We have been arranging the house where we live and fixing it out. Right now we have a problem with the electricity. When we use the microwave, we have to turn the lights off in the kithchen. When we use the washing machine, we have to turn off the lights and unplug the regrigerator! Wow, definitely a different experience.
Well, I will be starting a small group for guys soon (something that is needed in the youth group). I also preached two weeks ago at youth group for the first time and it seemed to go pretty well! Thanks for all your prayers and support! The church is growing here in Venezuela!
God Bless,
Matt Johnson
