 HEALING HANDS—Earl Bowie works on a medical brigade among Miskito Indians as part of his work of establishing and supervising a growing family of Verbo churches and social works on Nicaragua’s north Atlantic coast. The financial meltdown affecting the developed nations is working its way into the Third World as demand for its raw materials and commodities diminishes. Happily God’s economy isn’t subject to the vagaries and lies of the world system. Verbo’s missions and social works continue to expand and bless more and more people.
In Guatemala we recently opened a mission in San Martin Jilotepeque, a highlands Cakchiquel Indian town and are building new church and school complexes in Guatemala City, Coban, Quetzaltenango and other towns.
In Brazil the São Paulo church just started a congregation an hour across town in the Alphaville neighborhood..
Verbo Managua, Nicaragua, will soon move to new installations near one of the city’s major intersections. This facility will house a church and offices for the many social outreaches the ministry operates in the country. |

 PRAYER TIME—Dick and Gladys Funnell’s “Wales Awakening” intercession ministry is well focused on a new and powerful Welsh revival Editor’s note: Dick and Gladys Funnell were part of the team that founded Verbo Ministries in 1976. They then helped found a church in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, in the early ‘80’s before moving to Verbo New Orleans where they worked in a leadership capacity until starting an intercession ministry in Wales in 2005. The following is un update on their activities:
The charge we received from the Lord is to stand in the gap for Wales, one of the nations of the United Kingdom also known as "The Land of Revivals,” and pray for another outpouring of His Spirit.
Our primary calling and focus is praying every day in Cilfowyr Chapel, a Welsh Baptist chapel in the west part of the country near our home. The church began in a farmhouse in the 1680's. Today, this 500+ capacity stone chapel meets once a month with an attendance of about 15 people, including us.
Besides our daily prayer and intercession sessions, we spend a good portion of time in praise and worship, since both of us are musicians. Friends also come and pray with us from time to time. |
