Bennett, an IMBmissionary in Caracas, Venezuela, had been hosting talks in local schools on values. Each talk included a Gospel presentation,and the mother sitting across from him wasn’t happy about it. “My family is very devoted to the Virgin [Mary],” she said. Shewas suspicious of what Mike was teaching. Mike asked her to visit and hear an assembly. The next week she came and hearda lesson on self-esteem and our value in Christ. After the assembly the mother said, “That’s exactly what our children neededto hear. You’re welcome here any time you want to come.” The Cooperative Program enables us to partner with more than45,000 churches to make Christ known.evening: HANDS-ON MINISTRY(Virginia) MIKE HAYWOOD worked in social services for the government when he realized that being free to minister tothose in need and witness could produce better results, not only for this world but for eternity.

She cried for a week. From that time on, Jesus Christ had her heart. Though her Buddhist mother continued totake her to the temple, she belonged to Jesus. She heard Him speak to her throughout her life, and she sought to listen andobey. Today she is the mother of three young men. She has sought diligently to teach them about the way, the truth and thelife.
