IT'S SPECIAL

Our ministry has been growing. Because of faithful supporters and prayer warriors we have been able to start and expand several initiatives. Project Joseph has over 30 feeding programs in 7 states in Venezuela. We are consistently shipping Bibles and discipleship books to Venezuela. We have 5 full-time workers there and we are planting new churches. Leadership training has kept us very busy. 
But here's the thing that is so special. In the last two years, we have gotten back to our ministry roots - medical evangelism clinics by doing projects in Trinidad, Ecuador, and Colombia. And it is exciting!

Is it the hustle and bustle? The camaraderie of the team? Maybe it's because "once a doctor, always a doctor." I put on the stethoscope and that first patient comes in and it feels right. But I think it's a reminder of many such projects before and the results. People meet Jesus. And follow Him. I remember why I started doing this 25 years ago, to look for that "lost sheep." 

It's also special because Elsa is at my side interpreting, as she has done many times. We met in Caracas in 1995 doing missions. 

And look who has now started translating! GABY! 

Medical Missions is again a part of our ministry. And I am thrilled. We have people to feed, sermons to preach, conferences to teach, churches to plant, but we also have patients to see. 

Thank you for your prayers and financial support. We are a team working to find lost sheep for the Lord. Elsa, Gaby, and I are proud to be a part of the team. And we are grateful that you are too!.

John, Elsa, and Gaby Powell
