BIENVENIDO! ... WELCOME! Won't you join those from Somerset Hills Baptist Church as they walk and pray in Maracay? Look at the places and the people we visit through God's eyes of love. How can you ... where you are ... share the love of Jesus with the people in Maracay? There is a way. Will you commit to walk with us daily and pray over these prayer stops? PRAY ... PRAY ... PRAY as you walk! Thank you for coming. Please come each day and faithfully take these requests to the Father. |

Day 4, Wednesday, May 21 We headed to La Soledad in the morning where we prayer walked over the apartment buildings and San Isidro in the afternoon (those are the last 2 neighborhoods). Many of the apartment buildings are in the process of being built--the population of the these neighborhoods may be doubled in a year or 2. The Bennett's work seems daunting and they need our prayer. On our way, we visited a school for children with cerebral palsy. In the evening, fifteen of us gathered around the Bennett's home for a lively Bible study on "GOZO" (please consult your Spanish dictionary). This will be our last entry from Maracay. We had a wonderful and productive week! We are heading to Caracas and please pray for our safe trip home. The 3 Ms |

Wednesday, May 21, AM San Isidro
This is San Isidro, the smallest professional area in Maracay. Still, there are over 600 families living in these buildings, all of them part of our target group. As we walk through this neighborhood, pray that God would penetrate the walls around these buildings and the walls around the hearts of these self-sufficient and proud people.

|
Alcalde As we prayer walk by the office of the mayor of Maracay, pray for the people working in this building. They are very influential in this city. Pray for the mayor of this city, Humberto Prieto, his aides and work associates. Pray for their salvation, for their honesty and integrity as leaders of this great city |
|
Center
One of our team members, Winelia Marin, works at this Center for Handicapped Children in San Isidro. Let’s pray for the children, their parents and the teachers and therapists who work here. Pray for Winelia to be an example of the love and caring of the Lord in front of these people so they will be drawn to the truth. |
|
Church
As we walk through San Isidro, we will pass this small Catholic church. The vast majority of the professionals identify themselves as being Catholic, whether they ever attend church or not. Pray that their spiritual eyes would be open to the truth of the gospel and this truth would set them free from the erroneous practices of this religion. |

Wednesday, May 21, PM
McDonald's
Major intersection of Las Delicias. Within a one square mile area there are over 19, 250 professionals who live in high rise condos. Pray that God would give us insight in how to reach all these people and that He would work in their hearts so they would be open to spiritual things.
|
Margaritas  Las Margaritas is the apartment complex where the Bennett's live. Pray that they will have success in developing friendships with their neighbors and that they could begin a bible study group in their apartment with their neighbors |
Language
Language College- Mike and I had the opportunity to share with the students and teachers of this English language institute how Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US. We emphasized the importance of giving thanks to God every day of the year. Pray that we would be able to return to share more about God and His Word. |
|
Colegio
San Jose School – This private Catholic school is only two blocks from our apartment. We have conducted several of our seminars here. The director has been very helpful in renting us space for a very reasonable price. We are planning to have more conferences here in the future. Pray that each professional that enters this building to attend one of our conferences will want to become a part of a small group and invite Christ into his life.

La Soledad
Here is La Soledad, the neighborhood where Mike and Jan live. There are around 1150 professional families living in this small area. In material terms, these people have so much, yet they are poor spiritually. Work and money are their first priority and everything else; whether it is spouse, children or God, take a back seat. As we walk by these luxury apartments and large houses, we need to pray that God would convict them of just how needy they are. Pray that they would make time to attend one of our conferences and have the desire to become part of a small group where they will learn how relevant the Bible is to their daily lives.

Wednesday Group
Pray for this new group as they study how the Bible applies to their everyday lives.

Pictured here is our newest small group. We have
been meeting together since our last conference at the end of
February. This picture was taken on an outing to a country club
where one of the couples has a membership. Friendships are forming
among the group, and a community is beginning. Spending time
together outside the group is one way to accomplish this.
