From The Big City to The Boondocks....

This past month I finally moved out of my apartment in the large city of Caracas and into the small town of Cúa. I now live with another American missionary a little older than myself,(His name is Sam)and we are the only missionaries that live full time in the town of Cúa. In fact, we are the only Americans that live in Cúa. We are excited to be there even though the living conditions are a little rougher than Caracas. This has allowed me to more easily minister to the youth that I work with. Most of them live near my house and we now have more time to spend together and forge deeper relationships. I look forward to doing some discipleship with the guys in the youth and raise up some leaders among them! We are currently hosting a Bible Conference with Bob Stacy the founder of CIY! He is here to speak about how to prepare a sermon and how to overcome a loss. So far the conference has been wonderful for our Latin leaders that preach in the churches here. Tomorrow we will be talking about overcoming a loss and the book of Job!
God Bless,
