Torricos Update From Bolivia

Cochabamba, December 2009

 

Dear co- workers on the Vineyard of the Lord:

 

May grace and peace of the Lord be upon each one of you.

Let's praise the Lord together for his wonderful blessings, even with political difficulties and limited resources; God has been good to us, giving us the opportunity to spread his Word. In certain occasions doors were open like in the best times, and what we were lacking was time to reach all the places, even when we tried to be the minimal amount of time at home.

On the same way the Lord is providing more opportunities for Jaime Jr. on conferences. We pray that God will use him as much as he used Gaby and me through these almost 39 years at his service; we believe that the time has come for Carola and Jaime Jr. to share a major part of the responsibilities in the ministry.

Some of the places where we have been preaching are: Chapare, Aiquile, Palacios, Challapata, and of course in the city of Cochabamba and the small missions in the high valleys.

After a while, many churches have remembered to put focus on evangelism, thanks to the Lord in this way it was possible for us to guide hundreds of souls to the Saviors feet, but even like the double of that amount, were the number of believers doing reconciliations with the Lord, especially those that were mislead by the policies of the current government.

On the other side it's a special blessing to distribute Bibles to the teachers of rural areas, as time permitted; we were able to reach with this material the teachers that work on remote areas away from our cities. Many of them accepted Christ on their hearts. This on the other hand leaves the doors open to be able to preach on their schools on the future.

It seems that our government has given instructions to put obstacles on the regular mailing in this month, or we don't know maybe just until the elections on this December are finished (this is very strange for us). We apologize that this year we may not be able to send our holiday greetings as usual and since Christmas is getting close, we take advantage of this opportunity to wish you from our hearts our greetings and blessings in this season, may the Lord will fill your lives with his richest blessings during these holidays.

 

Yours in Christ,

 

For all the Torrico's, Jaime Sr.

 

 

Prayer requests

 

·       This December the 6th, we have elections in Bolivia; our prayer is that God will allow a change of president in Bolivia, so please pray for this request.

·       For the Lord's guidance to continue the ministry even if there are deeper political changes in our country.

·       For guidance and provision of material for Jaime Jr. to start a ministry with Pastor's kids.

·       That the protecting hand of the Lord will be over our children, guarding then from any political influence on their education.

Chuck Pierce Shares A Powerful Word from Penny Jackson

  Before the service on Sunday, the Spirit of God met with Penny Jackson. As He began to visit with her, she began to write what the Lord was saying. Reading through this incredible word, I saw it like an encounter experienced by the prophet Daniel. I divided the word into the way Daniel prayed: morning, noon, and night. I want to encourage you to read this word in three sections: Part 1 (morning), Part 2 (noon), and Part 3 (evening/night). Part 1: Morning “A timing is coming. A timing is approaching. It’s not long now. You feel it hovering. Be on alert. This will take your complete focus. I will speak in many ways. I will reveal in many ways. Before you do a thing, ask if I want you to be there…emotionally, spiritually, literally. I told you a long time ago that there would be a time when it would be dangerous to be where you were not to be. This is it. I told you that you would be able to hear My voice clearly for instructions. This is it. Don’t dare to do a thing unless I ...

Focused On The Master Weaving This Beautiful Tapestry  ‘Take heart, fear not, even rejoice!’ Happy New Year!  “For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is Mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the Lord of Hosts.” Hag. 2:6-8   We have not come this way before.Joshua 3:4 ‘ Since you have never traveled this way before…’ We are clearly in a new place and new season.As we surrender and yield to the seven spirits of God and stay in His presence there is safety in the strong tower (Psalm 91.)   As we behold His presence in awe and wonder, his peace carries and leads us into this new exciting time in uncharted territory.Why? For we are covenant children of the most high. As God’s people walk in faith, courage, and authentic relationships in the ne...

Have I Really Forgiven?

By -

Forgiveness is a widely discussed topic, yet after years of studying the Word, searching scripture on forgiveness, meditating on examples in the Bible, reading countless books, and listening to numerous sermons, I realized that I hadn’t truly forgiven or released many people from my heart. That’s why I felt compelled to write this article—to share my journey and insights on what genuine forgiveness looks like. In my mind, I thought I had, but the Holy Spirit showed me there was so much more. As I yielded to the Holy Spirit and asked Him to reveal those I still needed to forgive, He showed me specific events where I had held onto unforgiveness, hurt, pain, offense, or fear. Often, I needed to forgive myself. When we ask God for forgiveness, He does it without hesitation, yet we frequently struggle to release ourselves from guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. It’s almost like we tell ourselves we need to suffer for what we did, but Jesus took all condemnation on the cross, so we d...
