Explore Venezuela
“Look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting.”
These words spoken by Jesus to his disciples apply so aptly to the country of Venezuela. All around the city of Barquisimeto is fertile soil that produces beautiful and tasteful fruits and vegetables - and boy are they ever cheap. Much of the fruits and vegetables for the entire country come from the state of Lara (Barquisimeto is the capitol of the state of Lara). Just as the the ground is fertile, so are the hearts of the people.
It seems that the people of Venezuela are so open to the gospel. Like most other people in the world they are looking for the one thing that will satisfy their lives. Humanity was made in the image of God - meant to be in a relationship with him - and most people search and search for this - God's initial plan.
I sense a feeling of excitement about the Gospel of Jesus Christ while visiting Venezuela. I think the one thing that excites me the most is the fact that the average age in Venezuela is 23. In Barquisimeto alone there are 13 universities. If the Gospel could be shared with this young population the country of Venezuela could be changed dramatically over the next few generations. This is an exciting vision and an exciting prayer.
