Valued Colaborers, thanks for your prayers. Joyce and I are still in Venezuela. We return home the seventeenth.
We travel tomorrow to Merida one of the major cities of Vz. We will meet Tuesday with Ladimiro Urindeta and Baptist pastors of his association concerning simple church multiplication strategies.
Wendesday we will join Omar Pina in Bilaores to meet with his state coordinators for church planting.
Thursday we will be in Vigia with Omar and his leaders there.
Friday we will be in Vargas with Carlos Fuentes who now is working with 13 HCs and is encouaging each of them to become two or more churches.
We have had tremendous meetings with leaders in Velencia. I will share more later. As we arrived at the Hoseah Church today a group was just arriving at the same time. The were a house church walking together. They started this February after we share in the Hoseah Church. Their faces were full of life and excitement.
We had a tremendous multiplication training time in Porte Ayacucho with a mission project of Carlos Fueintes. We were training missionary Paublo Ceinto and about thirty others from the Yekuana indigenous tribe of the Amazonas. They are the third largest tribe of the region. One family there receintly walked to Porte Ayacucho from their home. It took them 15 days.
More later. God is very much at work here. Thanks for your prayer. Your grateful brother, gail.

Prayer Request 4/25/08
Co-laborers in Christ: Greetings in Jesus’ name. Please join our Lord in what He is doing in Venezuela through concerted prayer.
Joyce and I will be joining Isrrael Rodriquez and Carlos Fuentes in church multiplication training in Porte Ayacucho on the edge of the Venezuelan rain forest May 1 – 4. One of our simple church advocates there has reached many of the tribesmen of the indigenous people of the Amazons. He is bringing them together for three days of training.
May 7-8 we will be meeting with leaders of a nation wide evangelical church-planting group. I spent some time with some of them earlier this year. They are excited to learn more of the simple ways of church multiplication. Omar Pina is the national coordinator.
May 13-15 we will be meeting with evangelical pastors and workers in and near Merida, which is one of the major cities of VZ. Ladimiro Urdaneta is our key servant leader. He is a national leader in Baptist circles and he is head of the language department of the University of the Andes at Merida.
There will be many other meetings between these. Our hope is to continue the encouragement of simple church multiplication through out the nation. Great strides have been made but the battle continues. Thanks for your support of prayer. Satan laughs at many of our attempts to minister but when we pray he trembles.
Your brother, gail.
