DATELINE LA PAZ, BOLIVIA:
Report from David Newsome & Our Missionary Team
November 30, 2007

Dear Ras,
 
We arrived in La Paz on Wednesday November 28 at 8:30am instead of 6:30am.  Our plane was held up in Miami because just prior to takeoff a man grabbed the arm of a flight attendant which is violation of airline policy.  Police entered the plane, arrested him, and escorted him and his wife off the plane.  Then, the airline had to unload the entire luggage to find theirs before we could leave.  Imagine having to unload 500 or so pieces of luggage before finding the right ones.
 
Upon arriving, Pedro met us with a van and we went directly to Calacoto Hotel where we put the luggage in our rooms, and had a delicious breakfast.  After breakfast, we prayed and talked about some of the plans.  Around noon, we took naps for a couple of hours, showered, had late lunch, and left for a house meeting that started at 5pm.  Pedro Villanueva had invited us to the meeting.
 
We went to the home of Yecid and Susie Benavides.  They have two sons, ages 27 & 17, who are gifted in the arts and worship.  Yecid is a movie & music producer who is extremely talented.  He and his wife are definite ¨kingdom builders¨ that think outside the box.  They are and will be used to tear down religious structures within Bolivia.  The Lord revealed to us that they were an apostolic/prophetic team that He has yoked together for His purposes. 
 
There were around 20 in attendance including us.  Yecid taught powerfully for about 1 hour & 15 minutes, then the entire group ministered and prophesied over us, (David, Petie, & Bruce...Bekah didn´t go in order to get some much needed rest).  Then, the three of us ministered prophetically to everyone there.  The presence of God was so strong the entire time.  Several were slain in the Spirit, some of them two and three times as we prophesied.  Later, we went to the country club in La Paz to have sandwiches.  We arrived back at the hotel around midnight to go to sleeeeeeeeeeep!!!
 
On Thursday morning, November 29, the team met at 9am for breakfast and to go over the schedule and goals for our time in La Paz, so all would understand our assignments.  All of us needed to be on the same page in order to flow as one.  The team consists of Petie, Bekah, Bruce, Pedro, Wilge (pronounced wil-hay), Gilvan, and me.  Gilvan couldn´t attend because of work.  This day was to be one of intercession primarily.
 
After the meeting, we went downtown where Petie & I purchased 11 soccer (futbols) and 1 basketball for Pastor Edwin Perez´ orphanage children.  We ate lunch, then took a taxi for the San Francisco, (downtown), part of La Paz to look for the street children.  The only ones we saw were the ¨shoeshine boys¨ who cover themselves from head to toe.  They even cover their faces.  All that is showing are their eyes.  I was told their ages range from seven into their twenties.  Pedro said if the street children were given coats, shoes, or whatever that they would just quickly sell them for a peso to have something to eat, so we continue to listen for how the Lord wants to touch them.  The downtown area was full of vendors selling just about everything you can name.  There was quite a bustle of activity everywhere.  We saw the oldest Catholic church in La Paz which was built in 1548.  It was made of big stones and was probably 4-5 stories high.
 
We continued walking until arriving at another downtown square where the Capitol Building, the President´s Palace, and the Catholic Cathedral are located.  The team spent over an hour in this huge cathedral in warfare intercession.  The cathedral and presidential palace are connected by the sharing of a wall.  We prayed against established demonic governmental/spiritual religious structure which holds back our Lord´s blessings upon the Bolivian people, their government and the entire nation.
 
President Evo Morales is an Aymari Indian who still practices the ancient witchcraft of the Aymari people.  The Vice President is a communist.  The Secretary of State is a warlock who practices his ¨stuff¨ in the state house.  So I wonder what has the Catholic Church done, in all their years of being here, to influence this government in a godly way?  It is as if they rule together!  The Lord Jesus will invade this situation.  We know Isaiah 9:6 says that ¨the government shall be upon his shoulder...¨ and verse 7 says, ¨Of the increase of his government and peace there shall no end...¨.  His government brings his peace.  La Paz means peace.  You can take God´s intentions on from there!
 
Wilge took pictures of us as we stood right at the entrance of the Presidential Palace.  The presidential guards would not let us walk up to the door of the palace, so we stood between them with our heels off the sidewalk, but on the ceramic tile of the foyer.  While Wilge slowly took several pictures of us, we smilingly prayed in the Spirit, commanded the gates of the palace to open up, so that the King of Glory could enter in!  Who is this ¨King of Glory¨?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.¨ Psalm 24¨7-8.
 
From the palace, we crossed the street to the Capitol Building where the Bolivian Senate and House of Representatives meet.  Armed guards, with machine guns, said we couldn´t enter, so we prayed around the Capitol Building.  Then, we walked 1 block to Vice President´s palace.  At this intersection was the VP´s Palace, another Catholic church building, and buildings housing the wealthiest bank in Bolivia on the other two corners.  Does that say anything?  We prayed for some time at this intersection against demonic structures involving the financial (economic), religious, and governmental aspects of Bolivia.
 
From there, we walked a half a block to where the same Catholic church mentioned in the above paragraph shared a wall with the city municipal building which houses the city government.  We interceded for the city breaking ungodly ties which influenced the government of the city commanding these demonic systems to come down.  By this time it was 5:45pm, so we took taxis back to the hotel and had dinner at the hotel around 7pm.  While ordering dinner, we met a Nazarene lady named Verl who had accompanied her husband Terry for graduation ceremonies at a Nazarene college located in La Paz.  She joined us for dinner.  During the conversation, she shared that they were going to Chiclayo, Peru for graduation at the Nazarene college there.  So Bekah and I shared about the rice evangelism that has been going on in Chiclayo.  Bruce asked her if we could pray for her and see if the Lord would have a word of prophecy for her.  She accepted, so we prayed and prophesied powerful words over her.  She said that what was spoken was all true and was greatly blessed by the ministry.  Then, she prayed a beautiful prayer over us thanking Jesus for allowing us to meet and allowing us to work together to build His kingdom!  His presence was thick!  Bekah gave her contact information for Fullness and Chiclayo, then she excused herself to see if her husband had returned from his meeting.
 
At 7:30 pm, Pastor Edwin Perez arrived.  The presence of the Lord was very strong as we began to prophesy and minister deeply to him.  Ed said that everything said was exactly true and was blessed by the ministry.  We, also, were led to minister to Wilge and Pedro in prayer and prophecy.  This short paragraph can´t begin to share the extent of the ministry that was done.  

After the ministry was over, we discussed plans for Nov 30 - Dec 5 as follows...
 
This morning, November 30, the team will meet for breakfast at 7:30 am then leave for Lake Titicaca.  We are going there for the purpose of worship and intercession.  I´m not sure to what the intercession might be.  I´m sensing it might be warfare.  We definitely need more prayer covering.  We plan on returning to La Paz around 5pm and have the driver of the rental drop us off in the San Francisco area of La Paz where the street children come out at night.  We will have dinner there, hit the streets later to pass out 60 Bibles that Pedro obtained from the Gideons this morning.  We will also be observing the street children and seeking the Lord about how He wants to use us in ministry to them.
 
Saturday, December 1, we will arrive at 9:30 am at Pastor Edwin Perez´ orphanage.  We will leave there around 11:30 am and try to meet with Pastor William Sanjines who, we believe, has a church in El Alto (high place).  From El Alto, we will go to the city jail in La Paz. 

Sunday through Wednesday, Dec 2-5, we will hold a conference at Pastor Gilvan Ramos´ church in La Paz.  Our meetings will be Sunday at 10am & 6pm; Monday - Wednesday at 7pm.  Monday night is set aside to explain pasta evangelism.  The other services we will preach and prophesy as the Holy Spirit leads.  During the day Monday through Wednesday we are still considering what to do.  Maybe meet with pastors for whatever reasons.  We´ll see.
 
I will try to update you again tomorrow night. 
Blessings and love,

David Newsome
