Christ Among the Chaos: Impact Venezuela

“God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in adversity. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth tremble and the hills sink into the heart of the sea.” Psalm 46:1,2

August 7th marked the 3 year anniversary for our Impact-a-Nation project in Venezuela, and all we can say is that we are extremely grateful for all God has done in that time.

We are privileged to serve God, and what some see as a crisis we see as opportunity. With more and more salvations throughout the nation, we are at peace and with joy in knowing that we are fulfilling our calling here.

Although we were hit by a magnitude 7.3 earthquake, we praise God that nothing more serious happened after and that the casualties weren’t as bad as a few lesser tremors in the past. With many people going out to the streets saying that God’s judgment had come, we seized the opportunity and preached about repentance and God’s compassion. More people ended up going to church due to this event.

Economic measures were taken by the government to try and contain the 1 million percent increase in inflation with the launch of the ‘Bolivar Sovereign ‘. This new currency, along with the lack of money in the banks and steep price increases, has been met with protest after protest. The citizens of a country once so prosperous now have to queue ridiculously just to get spoiled meat.

With everything happening, more and more are trying to leave the country, leading to violent clashes on the Venezuelan-Brazilian border. Please continue to pray for this situation. The border is one spot we buy food, and many citizens are begging for charity and sleeping on the streets just to survive. They want to return to the Venezuela of old, but that just isn’t reality for the time being.

Even so, God’s goodness continues to shine as more and more are saved and work for His kingdom continues to grow. Currently, we are in the middle of working to open many more churches.

Please pray for us. Please pray for the citizens of Venezuela.
