Thursday update from Venezuela

We had another good morning in the Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. Warren helped the students understand the difference between a mission-minded church and a chapel-minded church, and led them through a process for determining which way their church leans in this regard. He then dealt with the importance of vision for helping a church move toward becoming more mission-minded. The students seemed to appreciate the material and also seemed to understand most of my translation. I also had the joy of talking with a couple who are planning to start a new church in their city, and they are in the beginning stages of considering becoming Methodist. Please pray for our friend, El Abuelo, Luis, who had to leave the class today with some heart-related symptoms. He is a dear dear friend of ours, and a truly genuine Christian example from whom we have learned a great deal through the years. For more details about our trip. I invite you to check out the following blog: www.venezuelaforchrist.blogspot.com. This is a blog that Warren keeps up to date, and his computer is working better down here than mine is, so he is able to post pictures and I am not. He also tends to write more detailed reports which I think you would really enjoy. Thanks for your continued giving and your continued prayers for our ministry. Much Love, Dan
