EVANGELISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAM

Today I want to finish my testimony on how you started the Evangelistic Support Program. I want to thank you for every message sent, the questions the brothers are asking and as soon as possible I will answer every email.

I certainly have more details of this walk with the Lord Jesus living God's call and later I can take a few days off sending our emails telling a little about God's move. And my wish is that his life is built spiritually

Well, with the growth of the Evangelistic Support Program, the Lord Jesus guided us to start the Participation Program. We had already sent materials to many places in Bolivia, we supported evangelists in Peru across the Bolivian border and we did the same with the brothers in Argentina. Then one day I woke up with the thought that I should end the project. In reality I was doing practically everything myself, the project burden on us was too great and I believed I had reached my limit.

So I was invited to speak about missions at a missionary base of a missions group that came from Brazil. That day I spoke about missions, I told testimonies of life in missions, I spoke about Bolivia and the region was a blessing. Then the brothers told me that I had blessed them a lot and that they also wanted to bless me. Then they asked me to get down on my knees and those missionaries started praying for me.

A sister came and said to me: "The work you are doing will not stop. You will make the Word of God reach places where your feet will never set foot and in God's time this work will leave Bolivia for other nations. And don't worry about the means, for the Lord Jesus puts the means in your hands like gold dust". I was thinking about stopping and now the Spirit of God uses that woman to say those words to me.

Well, I left that mission base with a heart full of joy, because a few days ago I was almost deciding to stop, but now the Spirit of God uses a servant to bring me such a clear and specific word. But I always learned to ask for confirmation. It's not being unbelieving the word of God, but I really want to believe in the word that comes from God and if it's God he will confirm it. So I prayed to the Lord and asked him to give me a confirmation.

The days passed and I believe a week later a Bolivian pastor came to my house to receive some materials for the evangelistic work he was doing. I gave the materials and the pastor said he wanted to pray for me. He prayed, thanked for the materials and when he finished the prayer the pastor looked at me and said: "Pastor Peniel, God has a word for you. The work you are doing will not stop. You will make the Word of God reach places in that your feet will never step on and in God's time this work will leave Bolivia for other nations. And don't worry about the resources, because the Lord Jesus puts the resources in your hands like precious stones"

A week later God was giving me the confirmation. God used different servants in different languages to give the same word. The only difference is that the sister from Brazil said "gold dust" and the Bolivian pastor said "precious stones". The only doubt that remained in my heart was about the meaning of "gold dust" and "precious stones". I told what the Lord Jesus had said to my wife and a few others. I learned that when there is something in doubt about an orientation, it is better not to expose too much, but to let God bring knowledge at the right time.

Several years passed and I treasured the word and prayed for fulfillment and a revelation as to the meaning of "gold dust" and "precious stones". For some people I spoke to, the answer was that it would be a lot of money to do the work, but immediately the Spirit of God closed my heart regarding this interpretation. Then one day the Spirit of God opens the eyes of my understanding to understand the meaning of "gold dust" and "precious stones".

The "Gold Dust" is the actions of love, it is the participation in this work of those who really love the work of missions, who love the salvation of souls, who love to know that the Word of God is reaching thousands of God and know that only the gospel of salvation reaching sinners can promote the transformation of lives before the Lord Jesus, generating new life in the sinner's spirit. The Spirit of God told me that these are the people who will participate, who will maintain and it will be with the participation

The Spirit of God communicates to my heart that those who do it out of simple obligation, without responsibility, without love in the work they are offering will be withdrawn and the opportunity given to them would be lost.

And about the "precious stones" are the miracles that the Lord Jesus would be doing to maintain this project. The Lord reminded me that gold dust is not something to show off, but is guarded with great care and is a treasure to be traded. In other words, it is with gold dust that the daily needs of the project are met. The Spirit of God reminded me of when my father worked in a mine in the north of Brazil and there people did not use bank notes, but to buy anything it was with powdered gold. That valuable powder is kept inside a very safe container and not shown to just anyone.

But the precious stones is placed in the ring, in the necklace, in a crown and wherever it can be seen. God's miracles must be shared for you to see the glory, the riches, the splendor of God's eternal riches.

With every difficulty we go through, moments of difficulty in this work, situations that are impossible for us, I see God working yet another "precious stone" to be exposed. We've had situations of needing thousands of dollars and not knowing where to get the money from and unexpectedly the Spirit of God brings us the solution and the need is met. I see the hand of God, my heart is filled with joy, I rejoice in the Spirit to see God act once again to maintain the work that is His and not mine.

It's God keeping his project and not the Peniel Dourado project and in the face of the blessing I have the greatest joy in sharing it in my emails, I make my videos and expose the glory of the Lord to anyone who wants to see it.

HOW ARE WE CURRENTLY?
In December 2020, God guided us to leave Santa Cruz de la Sierra and move to the border region of Brazil and Bolivia. Our aim is to expand the Evangelistic Support Program in every country in Latin America.

In January 2022 we came to the border of Brazil with Paraguay in a more strategic region to serve the southern region of Brazil, access to the airport, ease of documentation and other details.

Our main target is to have several entrances for containers to Brazil, because to date we have only worked with one entry and it has hindered the progress of the work. Brazil is very big and it is necessary to work by region with several container entrances.

In Bolivia, Brother Nigel Mercado is the current coordinator of the Evangelistic Support Program. Nigel has been working with me since the year 2015 and till date he has done a great job.

We, Paraguay, have a Support Point in the city of Ciudad del Este and the local leader is Brother Juliano. In Peru, we are moving forward with the project in the southern region, bringing materials from Bolivia and supporting the Peruvian evangelists. In Brazil, we are dividing the regions by organizing local Support Points, leaders who carry out the work within the framework of the project and, thus, reach all of Brazil.

Well, I won't give more details, because in each letter I am giving information about the work.

Thank you very much for your attention and don't forget to pray for the advancement of the evangelistic work in all of South America. Soon we want to enter Europe. We are praying for this goal

Peniel Dourado
