Between Christmas and New Year’s Day we roughed it as we did when we traveled in Central America in our early days of ministry. A blockage developed in our sewer line that the plumbers were unable to clear until city workers came 3 days later and worked on their part of the line. Their breaking a water line in the process meant that for some hours we were without water or sewer. We were able to endure calmly and felt extremely thankful for these services once all was restored. Now our front yard is a muddy mess and needs extensive landscaping in the spring.
It reminds us that our desire to minister to professors in Latin America has seemed to have a blockage that had to be cleared. In answer to prayer our communication with CCC campus leaders in Venezuela brought an invitation to go there in mid-May.
At this time we have a professor who is able to go with us. Because of continued transitions in the ministry we are not certain this will materialize, but please pray with us for the best outcome in God’s time. There are fifty+ professors in Maracaibo who are looking for some help in uniting to find a way to minister as believers in their influential positions in the universities of that city.
Locally we have input for dinners for international students where Christian professors speak on subjects of interest, while also sharing their faith testimony. This powerfully impacts those who have been taught that faith and intelligence are contradictory.
