Mission Stories

Dear friends,

In October 13 we left on our first Medical Mission trip to Mamore River, north-east Bolivia in the State of Beni, one of the poorest states in the country;

Last month, we tried to buy a used minivan for the mission, but the car which we wanted was sold out already and another minivan on the Internet was way more expensive than the one we tried to buy first.

Bang! I felt something hit the back of the van. It was a Thursday afternoon and hotter than Hades in mid-summer. All the windows that could be rolled down in my van were fully down since the air conditioner was out of commission.

Having grown up in an Adventist home, I have always been familiar with the interpretation of prophesy. It has made wonder what it would be like for someone to hear about prophesy for the first time. I was about to have an experience to find out.

A village man that showed up to church one day requesting our help saying, “We don’t want any other religion in our village except the religion of Kamantian.”

A fisherman who had been learning the bible from this year accepted Jesus as his personal Savior. Praise the Lord!! Last week he was baptized in a beautiful valley of the island.

A video testimony of Chief Pilot Gary Roberts, a missionary pilot in West Indonesia-Papua, regarding the Adventist Aviation Ministry.

I checked her and found that the baby was in a horizontal position and that her water had broken. “Oh Lord!” I thought, “What can we do?”

The last time I wrote we were facing a very serious financial challenge, but knew we could face the future with courage because the promises of God are sure. Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” NLT
