Meet the guys

For the last 4 or 5 months I have been building relationships with a bunch of university guys. They are mostly students of English at the state university in Santa Cruz. We get together Saturday evenings for Bible Study, prayer and fellowship.

They have really blessed me by their willingness to learn from God's word and by their faithfulness to show up every week. We are going through a study now on Bibilical manhood. There is not much in this culture that gives a Christian man hope. As we learn together what God made us to be as men, they are really encouraged. As John Eldredge wrote in "Wild at Heart", God did not create us to be "nice guys" but courageous, even dangerous Men of God.

I wish you could meet Luis, Marco, Humberto, Ernesto, Ever, Eden, Jesus, Luis, Renato and Darling. These guys are going to be mighty men of God in Bolivia.

Jeanie is an Artist!

A couple of weeks ago our Bolivian neighbor Daisy invited Jeanie to come to a painting class. The ladies from the neighborhood are learning to paint on fabric. They make tablecloths, pillows, and a lot of other things.

The ladies were there to learn to supplement their family income by creating salable craft items. Jeanie was there to meet the ladies! I think her work is beautiful!

Quechua recording of JESUS Film radio version

Hi From Bolivia,

Exciting things are happening here as three men from Orlando have come down to work with my Bolivian colleagues to record the Quechua and later, Aymara versions of the JESUS Film audio version.

We'll be using the new audio version to do initial follow-up among new believers in groups forming following presentations of the JESUS Film.

The photo is of Herbert Ogeda, the Quechua language voice actor who played Jesus.

Please join us in praying for the technical details of the recording and that God would use the recordings in a tremendous way in the lives of millions of Bolivians.

Blessings from Bolivia,

Ron
