"I really do not have Words to define the joy I feel in my heart. I saw how the people were full of grace through the Word imparted to them during this retreat. I believe God is encouraging me through this to continue on [in ministry], "said Omar, a leader from Barcelona.

"I feel that I have been blessed a lot when I contemplate on everything the Lord has done. In fact, there were people who we did not invite that were moved by God's spirit to come and join us. This became evident to me that it is God who did everything to make this possible," said Carmen, a leader from Los Teques.

Venezuela is experiencing a great revival in the midst of a difficult economic and political circumstance. More and more are searching for God's Word and guidance, and finding faith in their everyday lives as they seek to overcome their national plight. We hope that the church leaders in Venezuela can continue to rise to the challenge and bring the work of salvation to many.
