JUNE 2004


CUBA PROJECTS

What a breakthrough!  The Cuban government gave permission for us to ship 10 (ten) libraries to our extension Bible schools there.  It was a happy day when we loaded  60 large boxes of precious resource books in Spanish headed for Cuba.

 

 

  On April 14 we received news that all books were in the hands of our church leaders there.  You bet they are happy!  The Church in Cuba is growing each day; in 1989 we had 99 churches, today there are over 3000!  The Bible school has dozens of extension centers directed by  qualified persons.

 

 

 

What’s up with all the boxes?   Sixty boxes of library books going to Cuba.  L to R:  Everett Ward (LALS), Berry Brown  (Convoy of Hope)  Kenton  Moody (Convoy of Hope), and Stan Kean  (LALS) .

 

Melvin L. Hodges Projects

Personnel

   Melvin Hodges  was the Director for A/G Latin America missions from 1953 to 1973.  During that time he wrote many books, one of which is the renown The Indigenous Church.  It is still being used as a text book in many Bible colleges to train English speaking missionaries the Biblical methods of planting churches in foreign countries.

   LALS now serves as the catalyst  to put this book into Spanish  for use in Latin American Bible schools that are training national  missionaries.  

   Another  of Hodges’ books that we are translating into Spanish is A Theology of the Church and It’s Mission.  What valuable tools these two books will be  for Spanish speaking students and pastors being trained in missions!

  This quarter we have been blessed with more help from volunteers and employees.

 

·   Joan Lindsey— volunteer bookkeeper, greatly assists in keeping financial records.  
 

·       Noemí Gallardo —part-time  assistant helping with the web site, Spanish contacts, and data entry working out of our technical support office in Santiago, Chile. 
 

·       Carl Logsdon and Jonathan López— Evangel University students working on a college-credit internship,  helping in cataloging and Spanish data entry.  
 

·   Joshua Stark another student, serving as part of a Christian service volunteer program from Ozark Christian College,  Joplin, MO.
