After two hard weeks..

A lot of people think that been in the mission field is always been in a heavenly peace. Well let me tell you that the only way to think that is been a person that have never been in the mission field.

In the mission field you are living day by day with people tat you had never live with, and there is always thinks that make hard to get alone with people in sometimes. Well these last two weeks were like that,  for me was very hard to be here, but thanks Jesus that he gave us the victory in his name and everything is okay again.  Another think is that 3 missionaries leave the same day, that leave us the ones who stay with sadness because we will miss then and with more work :p.

One of the harder things that I have seen since I am a missionary is that you are in the mission field and then the people that you know in the mission field become not just friends but family, and when they leave is so hard, because you stay and there is always people coming and leaving, writing this things I remember people like Steve, Wendy, Joni, Chandler, Amy, Nina, Corina, Jennifer, Grant, Connor, Daniel, Ricardo, Lolly, Judith… Excellent people, excellent missionaries, some of them aren’t here because they went to other mission field, other ones because they went to study and other ones just because they had enough of mission life.

This is even harder for the kids because they get to love and trust people and then they leave..

Anyway… the good thing is that you learn that Jesus is the  only one that always will be there, the other day one of the little girls told me.. “You know teacher.. is sad that the missionaries come and never call or anything but we at least have our Heavenly Father that always will be there, that will never leave us”. And at least that make me happy that the kids are learning to leave their hopes and the most of their trust in Jesus.

Everything is going well know, we are praying a lot for unity and for have a real “Happy Family”, so we are trying to have Sundays like a family day, this last Sunday we went to some waterfalls in the town. We had lots of fun.. was really good and that make us feel more like a family and not just like an institute, ohh and we are helping our neighbors a lot now, we start with a few helping them to harvest their rice and know there is lots of people that come and ask for help, this week we will be harvesting rice all week, and Thursday we will start harvesting our own rice, so that is going to be like a god training for our rice too.

Kids are learning that helping others is joyfully,  I pray for all of you brothers and sisters and I hope that one day you decide to come to mission field and that you can get the lots of blessings that are waiting for you, im sure that God want each one of his child to be a Volunteer Missionary, is like after you live like this is hard not to think that, you have to live it to know what I am talking about.

Oh, by the way, I hope soon the English in this blog will be better because a sister is going to volunteer translating my writings in Spanish to English and that will be a lot easier for me, and a lot better for you that will be able to read this with a best English and better words.

Thanks for all your prayers..
God Bless you all!!!=)

Well hello this is my first update in English.

This week have been good, I was thinking and thinking in make this blog in English but it was always so you know, is like my first language is Spanish, I did learn the must of the English that I know here in Bolivia, so is kind of a big effort to be writing in English, anyway, let start this from the beginning, this is my second year working as a Volunteer Missionary, here in Familia Feliz, I am teaching and been kind of the house parent of 4 kids, they are Armando with 4, Clever with 6, Alex with 7, Juan Carlos with 12 and soon Carlos Alfredo with 12 years.

I will like to say that is an easy job, but is not, is like to do this job properly I have to do a lot of things that I have never do before, like take a little kid to the shower and teach him one and again how to pee, how to shower.. have worship with them every day,  listen the day by day “George he did something wrong and I didn’t so punish him” and try to explain them that is not the right way to do the things.. anyway… but is amazing to do it.. you should saw me last year that was a mess, a complete chaos, but day by day I have been learning a lot, the first thing I have learn which I know I cannot do this work without it is to be holding God’s  hand every moment because when I stop doing that I lost my patience very easy with them, and they  are little kids so I have to be careful. Even if is a hard Job I love it  because is one of the ways how you can get closer to the kids, if you do it properly they fill love you a lot and with a lot of work soon will be easier and always is a lot of  fun with them.

In the mornings I work as a teacher in the primary school, 3^th and 4^th grade are with me, 6 kids, they are Adalid, Benjamin, Claudia, Lucila, Genesis and Damaris… oohh I have a lot of fun with them every day, is so funny and enjoyable the must of the time, but men this kids haven`t learn how to think yet, so when I try to make them think, problems begins, they start crying and telling me that I am so mean, by the way, I was horrible with my teachers when I was in the school, well with the last year and this one I already more that pay every little think that I did.. :p. Another thing, I always said that the last thing that I was going to do in my life was going to teach, but look at me now, how I say know.. Life with God is like a two sits bicycle where you are in the back and you can just pedal, it does’t matters where do you want it to go, Jesus is in Front and he will take you wherever he wants.

Preparing classes is one of the harder things I have do, I have to confess every time that I have to prepare classes I am like NOOOOOOOOOO… WHY!!! Jajaja but I have to do it anyway… please pray for my kids, they need to learn, please pray that God work in their knowledge and for his teacher to be capable to teach them.

Anyway that is part of what I live in the day by day here in Familia Feliz, and I enjoy every day that I am in here, I hope that you guys can be here some day to see hoe awesome it is to live like this.

 

God Bless You All Brothers

¿Who am i?

Well… let me tell you this, I AM NOBODY, I am an awful person, selfish person, full of weakness and willing to do all kind of miserable things.

Now if you want to know who is the NOBODY that with Jesus became one of the privilege sons of God, that is another story. My name is George Vergel and serving as a missionary is my passion, I love little kids, I love preaching and evangelism, those are my to principal passions in the Mission, right now I am living in USA, Michigan, at Ionia. I had the privilege in Bolivia to be one of the volunteers missionaries that help in the orphanage call Familia Feliz (Happy Family). I am Colombian, born in august 4, in 1987, right now I am 22. And I don’t think you are really interesting in know a lot more about me, so let me resume this a lot, I want to be a volunteer missionary for all my life.

Before coming to this kind of life I was the kind of guy that parents use to tell to their sons, get away from that guy is such as a bad influence for you, that is just for you people to know that if you let Jesus work in your life he can do a lot, just let him take the control of your life.

Well and for other people this is my definition, a crazy guy that is wasting his life, that is really dumb because is not earning money, because im not working for my tomorrow, so you can take the definition of myself that you like more.

Right now i am studying at SMAT(School Of Missionary Aviation Technology), The way how i got here was completely Godly because i dont have any money, the visa was really hard for me to get, almost impossible, but here i am, you can read some of the stories that i have to tell about how God have been so great and mercifull in my life.

Well i hope that you guys can keep in touch.

God Bless You.

¿What is to be a Volunteer Missionary?

I have go to different churches and there is always the same question, ¿What is to be a Volunteer Missionary?, well to be a Volunteer first at all is to do something just because your willing to do it, because you want to do it, the desire is in your heart, nobody need to ask you to do it or to convince you to do it because you are convince already, so you do it as a Volunteer, something that you will enjoy just doing it without been expecting some regard. In a few words to be a Volunteer is to be doing your passion.

Now that is to be a Volunteer, well  now to be a missionary is to be interesting in the mission, in the order that Jesus Christ gave to all of those who want to follow him, the Great Commission, to go and share the message, to work day by day for the souls just as Jesus Did, to be a CHRISTIAN, that word that is really common for a lot of people today,  but to be a Christian is to live like Jesus live when he was here in the world, living for the winning souls purpose, it doesn’t matters where you are, it doesn’t matters what you work in, or how you are, you can be a real Christian everywhere, you just have to live with the winning souls goal every time in your mind, but we cannot do that for ourselves, because our bad nature, we need God to change our mind and put Christ mind in us, and then he will do it, he just need you to aloud him to do it. So everybody can be a Missionary.

 Now, to be a Volunteer Missionary is when MISSION is your passion, when there is nothing else that can fill you and make you feel satisfy, with joy and happiness, when you sometimes wonder if you could live other kind of life and you always find out that is just impossible to you to be living other kind of life and be happy. That is for me to be a Volunteer Missionary.

And then when you are that you just do it because you like it, because you know that if you work for God there is nothing else to worry about, because you don’t care anymore about how many things are you going to buy, or what clothes you are going to wear, you just know that as much as you keep living that lifestyle, as was with Jesus you will never be lack of anything, whatever you need will be supply for God, your day by days needs, and then you discover a new kind of relationship with God depending on him every second in your life.

But if u want something shorter is like a to sits bicycle, you go in the back, and you can just pedal, Jesus goes in the front, even if you want to go to the left it doesn’t matters, if Jesus want you to go to the right you will go because you don’t have the control of the bicycle.

 

So I pray that all of you want to be Volunteers Missionaries wherever you are at.

 

God Bless You All.     

I want to get involve. ¿How?

1. Coming to the mission field.
   

You can come to the mission field, it doesn’t need to be here in the Jungle or with kids, there is lots of different projects, just tell us what would you like to do and we will try to fit you in the project where you can help more. Sent your application to cristiana_juventud@hotmail.com.

Check the post "¿What is to be a Volunteer Missionary?"

2. Praying for us.

Please pray every day for us, ask your church members to pray for us, we are in the war against Satan, all of us, but we are front liners, front liners always get harder attacks, so we need a harder defense, our best defense is the trusting day by day in God and holding every day his hand, so please pray for our projects, chose a specific one and have it in your prayers, Pray for their missionaries, their finances, the faith of all the staff, remember, lots of prayer lots of power, little prayer little power.

3. Helping Financially(Donations).

This is a very important part. God will provide for us anyway, he could put a lot of money in our pockets every day, but he prefer use us as his steward. Because he knows that helping others is good for ourselves. So whether if you collaborate or not God will provide for us. This is about personal relationship with God. So anyway, contact the administrators and ask them how you can help them. If you want to help a specific volunteer, contact him or her and ask how you can help. Volunteer missionaries don’t receive money from the projects where they are helping at, so they depend on God for their day by day needs. You get a change to play a role by helping financially.
