MOTIVATION AND EXPECTATION

                       MOTIVATION

4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the [b]open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?" Luke 15:4
Yusdaly is a young Venezuela girl now living in Bogota. She graduated as an architect as the number 2 student in her Venezuelan University..... Number 8 in the entire nation. She now sells coffee on the streets of Bogota and lives with a Colombian family. She lives in a very desperate situation and she doesn't know Jesus. We helped her to get the equipment she needed to sell the coffee. She now comes to our house for Bible study and prayer. Our motivation has to be to reach one. She is worth all of our efforts. When Yusdaly knows Jesus as Lord and Savior we will celebrate and then...... look for another LOST SHEEP!

                                                           EXPECTATION

Then He *said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful,"

Matthew 9:37

The Yukpa people live on the Colombia/Venezuela border. They are an Indigenous group of people living under very difficult circumstances. Many are affected by malnutrition and starvation along with disease.  Teams from Calabozo have been going to work with the Yukpa and present the Gospel. The Chief is now a believer and many are turning to Christ. In October we helped to arrange a team outreach with food and medicine. Dr. Orliany and others traveled several days each way to spend a week ministering to them. The harvest is plentiful among the Yukpa and other Indigenous people in Venezuela and Colombia. Our expectation is to reach many with the Gospel

                                THANKS

Our motivation is to do everything that needs to be done to reach a sinner with the Gospel. Time and effort are well spent searching for a lost sheep. But when someone comes to the Lord they are then part of the 99. And so we go again to look for someone who needs Jesus. While we are motivated for one, we expect a large harvest. We are expecting to regularly share with you great victories of the salvation of individuals but also publish reports of tribes, people groups, and regions turning to Jesus. That is why we are here and we do what we do. You share in these victories as you pray and give. Without you, it simply isn't possible!
