“Go therefore…”
  • Greetings Friends!

A short update regarding our last few weeks here in Bolivia. The crusade at the RTM radio site from November 11 – 13th was a very positive experience for us all. Our visiting music group from Paraguay did well, and hearing the the many familiar hymns and choruses in Low-German was a hit with the people. 500 or so people came out Sunday for our all-day event where there were some local groups doing music in the afternoon, some activities for the youth, and children, an event for the women and  also for the men. We have heard many positive and encouraging comments, people enjoyed the music, the solid preaching by Evangelist John Froese from Saskatchewan, and the good fellowship.

The weekend of November 20th we went to see the Kehlers in San Jose together with John  and Helen Froese. It always amazes me to see the size of some of these communities and the many, many Low German people that live there. The Kehlers have made some encouraging contacts over the past while and are moving forward with confidence. God is at work!

On November 15th a work team of 10 energetic men arrived from La Crete, Alberta to work on the Rehabilitation Centre that is under construction. Their goal was to get the roof on and they have done very well. The brick walls had been completed prior to their arrival. All the rafters are up and they got a good start on the tin sheeting before they left on Tuesday morning. They did experience some health issues, (stomach and other heat related problem) but were very thankful for the protection that God gave them at the job site. Wayne and Sadie Thiessen did a good job hosting the team. Ben Friesen’s help at the job site was crucial in keeping things moving.

We hope you enjoy the photos!
