Jerry
and DeAnna Olson Prayer Update
Santa
Cruz, Bolivia
May 2008
That
I may know Him and the power of His resurrection,
and
the fellowship of His sufferings,
being
conformed to His death, (NKJV)
Praise
and Prayer Requests
1.
Local Referendum
Once
again Santa Cruz is in the middle of a national conflict.
Sunday, no public meetings of any kind were permitted (no
church services either) as the state of Santa Cruz held a
referendum, voting to create greater autonomy from LaPaz and
the national government. Needless to say, the sitting
president and his cabinet are not pleased with the
direction Santa Cruz is taking. Please pray for peace
throughout Bolivia.
2.
Evangelistic Campaigns
During
the month of April two of our churches participated in
evangelistic campaigns with
a
visiting team from the U.S. Both churches took the team into
communities where they have started new churches. Over 60 adults
and children accepted the Lord. Pray for both churches as they
follow-up with these new believers.
3.
China and the Olympics
In
July we have 4 youth heading to China with YWAM and 20 other
young people. They have been working hard to raise the needed
funds and developing a program of street evangelism to use during
the Olympics. Pray for Iver Lara, Leicy Cruz, Ariel
Choque and his brother Guillermo Choque from our
LaGuardia church as they prepare themselves both spiritually
and emotionally for the trip. This will be the
first time one of our Bolivian churches has sent young
missionaries "overseas."
Love
in Christ,
Jerry
