Support work in the city of La Paz, Bolivia

 

Evangelistic Support Program Brother Juan Maceda is our Support Point coordinator in the city of La Paz. We currently send a large amount of printed material for evangelism and our beloved brother Juan Maceda supports evangelists in the city of La Paz, El Alto and the border region with Peru. But before he met us, Juan Maceda was already supporting evangelists. Some brothers would come to his furniture store and ask for help buying pamphlets. Juan bought a few hundred evangelistic pamphlets and gave them to the evangelists. A few days later more evangelists came, and then more and more.

The number of evangelists was growing, asking for help with the pamphlets, but our dear brother’s resources were not enough. So, Juan Maceda began to pray to God for help and ask for an open door. But where could he get so many pamphlets? Then, one day, Brother Juan Maceda met me. I gave him some boxes of evangelistic booklets and he was so happy. He used them for himself and also shared them with the evangelists who came to him. Then one day I invited him to unload a container with many boxes of booklets for evangelism. I asked Brother Juan Maceda if he would like to be our coordinator in La Paz. When Juan Maceda saw the many boxes, he began to pray. I remember that he sat on the ground next to a wall and cried like a child. After we unloaded the container in the city of La Paz, Juan Maceda told me that he wanted to tell his story. Then he told me about the struggle he had to get tracts and support the evangelists and how he prayed to the Lord Jesus for help. Well, just as Juan Maceda was praying for help to get more tracts and support the evangelists, I had been praying for several months that God would put someone who really had love and would do the support work in the region of La Paz, Bolivia. God is faithful!! Peniel N Dourado
