Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We want to thank you for your donations and support this past year. We value the work of our PMU. God’s provision for our family has been amazing. Your gifts are helping us to spread the gospel in this country. We are very committed and passionate to win souls for Jesus, and we are appealing to you to share the burden with us.

PROJECT “WINNING THE LOST”

In November our church members were encouraged to invite visitors to our Sunday Services. We worked on our project, “Winning the Lost.” We gave a card to every person asking them to write down seven names of their family members or friends, and we started to pray for them. Then they worked to invite them to our church. I prepared to speak on evangelism. I challenged the church members to invite their friends. All the people who invited a new person to the church on December 25, received a gift. As of December 19, we are happy to say that five new souls were won to Jesus. Octavio Larea, Claudia Gonzales, Jose Cuevas, Enrique Duran, and Daniel Estrada, and two asked to pray for reconciliation with Jesus and forgiveness, Petronila and Yesenia. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will move in the hearts of those who will be saved.

AWANA COMPETITION IN EL ALTO CITY

On December 19, we took 34 of our Awana kids to El Alto city, approximately 45 minutes away from La Paz, to celebrate our annual Awana competition. I had the privilege to begin the competition with prayer. All the kids and their leaders participated. They had great spirit and energy. People were cheering louder and louder. There were no fights, just laughs, cheers, and celebration. It was great to see the leaders and kids from four different churches. Finally the team from “Dios es Amor” won the first place, and our Awana took second place. After the competition we shared 95 bags of popcorn which we had prepared.

WEB SITE AND RADIO STREAM MINISTRY

We continue to broadcast our radio program, “Pastoral Reflection.” In every program we receive at least one phone call requesting prayer. We are helping and counseling people who do not know Jesus. Our audience continues to grow. We are online once a week, Fridays from 8:00 – 10:00 pm (EST Time) through the local radio station 105.7 FM stereo and the Reformed Bible Broadcasting.

Our internet server reported that our program with 24/7 streaming had listeners in 52 different countries in November and December, 2011, including the following: United States, Switzerland , Argentina, Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, Singapore, Mexico, Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Chile, Indonesia, Colombia, Guatemala, United Kingdom, South Korea, Sweden, Italy, Peru, Australia, China, Russian Federation, Japan, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Canada, Ecuador, Poland, Ukraine, Denmark, France, Philippines, Panama, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Israel, Bulgaria, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Romania, Fiji, Egypt, Turkey, Guadeloupe, Venezuela, Lithuania, Hungary, Dominican Republic, Algeria, Uruguay, and Jordan. Please continue to pray for this project. (www.rbbradio.com)

BPC CHRISTMAS PROGRAM 2011

For this season we prepared a separate hymn book with Christmas hymns and carols (60 copies). On December 16, we had our “Musician’s Christmas Concert.” We had many visitors in our church, and the last 30 minutes, the concert was broadcasted by 105.7 FM for the cities of La Paz and El Alto.

On Sunday, December 18, we had our cantata and children’s program. (Our children were practicing many songs three times a week since the last week of November.) The drama of the Christmas story was represented for our children. I read the story of Joseph and Mary seeking a place for Mary to give birth to our Lord Jesus. The presentation was amazing. We had 124 in attendance, and we gave 120 gifts to the congregation; also toys were distributed to children. We really rejoice in commemorating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Two adults and five children accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Also we had our Christmas Eve candlelight service with songs, choral selections, and the Christmas message. May God touch the hearts of the visitors who attended. We thank each of you who kept us in prayer.
