Of the Increase of His Shalom there is no end.

Twenty one years ago this month I made my first trip to Venezuela. I came in from Georgetown, Guyana via small airplanes and various boats through a few different rivers including the mighty Orinoco. It was then on that trip I met Vincent Guilarte. The Holy Spirit knit our hearts together and our team helped their tiny little church develop team ministry and apostolic foundations. Now, they have over 18 churches, including some along the Amacuro river in the delta of the Orinoco. The Lord has seen fit to give Vincent's team this boat for ministry puroses. Their last trip they baptized over 40 people and the church on the river grew to almost 300 people.
God is good and faithful. The fruit just keeps growing.
By the way, Vincent himself built the topper and made it into a cabin to house his team and supplies they take to give away to the Amerindian Warau people.

I wish Jesus would have said this instead of Chavez, or maybe he did?
(There should be no room for low level passion in the heart of  revolutionaries.)

    Shalom, Jeff!
