Summer Project and answered prayers

The Summer Project (SP) group arrived in Valencia on June 12th. With 24 students and 5 staff, they are the largest group to come work with Vida Estudiantil Venezuela and it has been exciting watching God work in their lives and on campus.  They are the answer to so many prayers and what God has done through them has been amazing.  In their first week they had over 200 gospel conversations!! It's sweet to see how God has brought laborers into His harvest field.  Their presence here is evidence of God's faithfulness to Venezuela.  He has a plan for this country and He has invited all of us to be part of it.
Specifically on the Engineering campus we have been able to do so much more and reach more students because we have 8 students going there everyday, in addition to myself and one or two other staff.  We were able to host an open forum in which we invited Engineering students to come and share their views on God, life and purpose.  There were over 15 students in attendance and we were able to meet many Christians as a result.  The SP students also organized the first-ever English Club on the Engineering campus.  This provided another opportunity to meet new students and begin building relationships with them.  Another prayer that has been answered is that an Engineering student began the first women's Bible study on her campus!  We are so thankful that the SP students chose to give their summer to the Lord and trust Him to use them!
Ministry in Venezuela has been very exciting this summer!  God is doing amazing things and we're so thankful for your prayers and support!
