It can get very cold in Uruguay, South America, during the winter. Because I love to lead souls to Christ, in 1960 I spent several months preaching in Allende, a little village of run-down shacks in the northern rural area. There was no heating and the wind howled through myriads of cracks in the tiny and flimsy hut someone was letting me use for free.

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6:8.)
In Isaiah 6:1-10 the prophet had a glorious, awesome vision of God in His splendid majesty. Immediately he felt his doom was sealed.

I must tell you of a great victory Christ wrought through a team of 25 consecrated indigenous missionaries, that I helped to train in Brazil during 1986.

Here is an encouraging page from the archives of my memory:
In 1982 I was preaching in Bogota, Colombia, South America, when I met Guerrero, who invited me to preach in one of the churches he founded. A precious man of God, he has a heart for the lost.

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you… And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered…” (Joel 2:25,32a).

In 1990 my wife and I went to Brazil. I preached in Rio de Janeiro, which brings to memory this tiny grain of sand from the hour-glass of history and how I later had a part in it:
It was 9 p.m. December 31, 1978, when the little group of nervous Christians arrived at the beach.

Scripture Reading: “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
