As this work moves\nforward, Jos\u00e9 will be accompanying the Cuiva men in the teaching and discipling\nthem. One of the Cuiva leaders commented: <em>\u201cKnowing\nwhat we have been going through, God brought you-all to us in His time\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Amor\u00faa, Masiware, Tsiripo <\/strong>and<strong> Wa\u00ebpijiwi <\/strong>people<strong>: <\/strong>After praying for a while we thought that this trip would be a good time to start the Foundational Bible Teaching with them, but that didn\u2019t happen. They didn\u2019t come out and we don\u2019t know why; we had heard that they wanted to hear the Bible teaching in their language. But let\u2019s keep praying that God will keep that desire alive in their hearts and grow it by His Word. It\u2019s never easy to get a work started, the Satan is stalking in many ways. It will be possible for these four people groups to be reached with the good news of the Gospel through the Guahibos and the Cuibas. We are trusting in God and in what He is going to do in his time for His honor and glory. Thank you for continuing to pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-600x586.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-600x586.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-768x750.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-113x110.jpg 113w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-250x244.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-259x253.jpg 259w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/alberto-gonzalez\/files\/2019\/04\/con-los-caziques-1920x1876.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a>The <strong>Playero<\/strong> people: It was very encouraging to see the desire of the pastor of the national church, as well as the leadership and the members, to support Eliodoro\u2019s ministry among this people group in different ways.

One of the brothers from the church made a house available for the family to use \u2013 an excellent provision for which we thank the Lord. We expect that they\u2019ll move there in June. Thank you for continuing to pray for this missionary outreach.<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a blessing and encouragement to see what God is doing through the Guahibo missionaries as they teach the Word in such a clear way, sharing their testimonies and struggles and giving honor and glory to God! And many thanks to you for being a vital &nbsp;part of the work through your prayers and financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alberto\u2019s health.<\/strong> Thank you for praying for Alberto, he\nwas able to control his pain on this trip with medication. In order to reach\none of the villages where they were going to teach, he was able to ride in an\nopen trailer behind a big tractor for five hours, which made that part of the\ntrip more comfortable (he didn\u2019t get a chance to take a picture). The tractor\nride was a provision of the Lord since it\u2019s not a common means of\ntransportation in that area. Unfortunately, he had to make the return trip on\nthe back of a motorcycle for two hours, with significant pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last week we went to Alberto\u2019s\nmedical appointment, the doctor sent Alberto to specialized physical therapy\nfor six weeks to strengthen his joints and improve his mobility. The therapy\nsessions begin the second or third week of April, then he is to see the doctor\nagain for another evaluation. We rest in the will of the Lord, trusting that He\nwill give the doctor wisdom to determine the next steps of treatment. God\nalways knows the best. Thank you for continuing to uphold us in prayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May God bless you, Alberto and Nancy\nGonzalez<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you for praying, the Lord\u2019s sustaining power is evident in every step we take in this missions\u2019 outreach among the sub-groups of the Guahibo language family.
