A Visit to Venezuela continued . . .
January 2001

A lot of what the team did was helping out with new church plants.  Everyone wants to see the Canadians, and so they come out and hear the story of Jesus.  This is a great way for us outsiders to work with the national pastors and workers to make a lasting difference.

One time the team was doing a street program.  One man in the crowd walked up to another (who turned out to be the pastor) and mentioned how easy it would be to steal the team's keyboard.  The pastor explained why the team was there and what they were doing.

During the program this man stood up and said something like,"This team is saying important things.  Listen to them, and if anyone tries to take anything from them, we'll come after you with guns and sticks!"

Needless to say, the team was very well received!
