Venezuela

The missionary presence of BIMI in Venezuela began in the early 80's. For years we had only two families in Venezuela. Seemingly overnight God began to do great things in this country, and our missionary force grew to include seven families. Few Latin American peoples have demonstrated such responsiveness to evangelism as the Venezuela people have. The tireless evangelistic endeavors of our missionaries have allowed us to see some wonderful churches established. Our missionaries have also established a thriving Bible School, and a wonderful camp ministry has proven to be extremely fruitful.

Although tribal ministry in Venezuela is no longer possible because new government regulations, our missionaries who worked in jungle areas are confident that the ministry will continue under national leadership. Many thrilling testimonies of what the grace of God has done and is doing in the lives of the Indians who have given themselves to Him stand as tributes to the grace of God and the labor of faithful missionaries.

While there are questions about the future of missionary work in Venezuela, we believe that God will continue to bless mightily the work of BIMI in that country. Please pray for the five BIMI families who remain as resident missionaries there. We do have one family currently on deputation for Venezuela. Please pray that, if the Lord wills, they will be able to realize their heart's desire of serving the Lord among the Venezuelan people.
