House Church Planting Team Invitation 10-21-07

I am writing to encourage you to ask the Lord of the harvest to use you and your network in putting together a church planting team for Venezuela. Travel together to Caracas, Venezuela in January for a minimum of ten days to start a new network of house churches as part of the follow up of a stadium crusade. Venezuela crusade leaders will place in your hands 100 to 300 decision cards over a five day period of new Christians located in a specific part of the city. Contact each of them by phone in the first 24 hours of their new walk in Christ. Make appointments for meeting together and introduce the rest of their family to Christ. Help them form new churches. Extensive HC training has been conducted this year with established Christians in traditional churches who are excited about simple church life. Feel free to start free churches or you can partner up with a trained simple church advocate native to Caracas. Venezuela leaders have committed to help furnish bilingual interpreters to help in the process. As you are there you will discover and build relationships with persons of peace. When you return to the states you can keep in touch thru inexpensive modern communications to help nurture the new networks over time. God will show you how to proceed. Please reply to initiate the process of discernment and receive update information. Feel free to forward this invitation. All simple church advocates are welcome to inquire.

Caracas is the most unevangelized large city in South America with only two percent evangelical Christians. They are expecting 10,000 to 30,000 professions of faith. To follow up this many decisions for Christ is an overwhelming task for Caracas believers.

Evangelical leader and DAWN Ministries International associate Jocobo Garcia says, “These are perilous times in Venezuela. Now is the hour for Spiritual awaking in our country.”
