BOLIVIA MISSION
how are you, beloved brethren?
is always a joy to be with you
and speak a little of what God has done through our lives
in missionary work
when we speak of missions
usually comes a preoccupation
about finance
about money
on maintenance. This is a concern, church that sends
and especially the missionary who will be there on the field
He also has
then I want to say something of what God has done through our lives
I'm doing this recording in our Mission Base
Here in Bolivia
December 2012
we're already a little more than five years
in the field missionary
and really the theme of finance
the of money
is a concern, has been a concern
but we put in the presence of the Lord
in the hands of the Lord
I want to tell you how God made for us to come out and be here in Paraguay
we had no money at the time
God had told us to come to Bolivia
but just at that time we were passing a difficulty rather large area financera
I was with my electricity bill unpaid
I had given my house
to make the trip and also save money I gave my home we had rented
all we had we had placed in boxes
God said: Put everything in boxes
because you're going to Bolivia
but I was thinking, Lord, and money?
that little detail
where's the money?
and the LORD has spoken: Do your bags, because you're going to Bolivia
Mina and I started to pack
started to pack everything
but the day came and I had asked for prayer for the church pray for us
was a Sunday and I want to travel on Monday
but when reached Monday
I have not had the money
I took a wardrobe that had
I sold my bed for a
one mobile to another
but the people said: Look, I only have to pay you a fortnight's time
I only have to pay you in a month
Look, I'll pay three times
and so we sell everything
because we wanted to sell our movable fast possible
we wanted to come to the mission field
I remember we took our wardrobes a sister
that sells furniture
she buys, sells and arranges the furniture
and she said: I do not have any money to give the wardrobe
but I'll give you just one part
and she gave me. I do not remember the detail
I would have to look at my notebook
my diary and I would not have it here
but she gave me only part
and I came back very sad that day
I said to God: Lord, this money does not even get to the border
but when I was coming with my car
and sister out of the house that
it was night
Monday night
the Lord spoke to my heart
Go now in Bank
Go now in Bank
I ran out and went to the bank
I passed the card
to look at the balance of my bank account
and I met, I remember well the value: R $ 133 Reais (U $ $ 66 dollar)
I took that money and the $ 133 Reais (Brazil's currency)
joined with the money I had sister
and I told Mina
for my wife
we already have the money to get to Bolivia
we go to the border?
we can get to the border
Mina and said: Come!
and with that money we had to put the resource gasoline
pay for some things that we had to pay
and bye!
had no resource for anything else
I even gave an idea
buy a bag of coquito
who knows, the people of Paraguay, the border
know what is coquito
is a tough cookie, a cookie very cheap
I talked to Mina
we'll buy a bag of coquito
'll take a bottle of 5 liters
and we'll pray
to the tire of our car does not stick, because we will not have nor money to fix the tire
and we were in this belief
but while we were in front of the bank
I got a call from my father
and he spoke so
Come here at home running
I left the bank, I went to my dad's house
and when I got there
he came towards me with an envelope in hands
He said: One sister went here
and left this envelope
when I picked up the envelope
open and had $ 450 Reais (U.S. $ 225 U.S. dollars) in envelope
God was speaking to me
"Look, your finance is in my hands"
I'll provide the resource
for this work, that the work I'm sending you
is carried out
and we got one feature that was not enough
those R$ 450 Reais more than I had the rest
was not enough to come to Bolivia
but there was God testing us, showing us
it was HE who was ahead and who was HE that would open the door
I want to tell you, my brother
that is preparing to go to the field
that you have this desire in the heart first, know the Lord's will
first seek the will of the Lord
because when God is the cause
man may miss
he who has the money in hand to help you can hold your hand
Human doors can close
but God opens doors on one side or another
and work is done, for when God sends
HE opens the door and holds
