 WORK ZONE—Bob Trolese (center) and Artie Hall (head of Verbo Nicaragua’s Bible Institute) survey the major remodeling needed to turn old warehouses in Managua into to a new ministry center.
Nation Faces Upheavals
In the middle of all that came the path of destruction left by Hurricane Joan in 1988, then Hurricane Mitch, the government’s battles with the U.S.-sponsored Contra revolutionaries and national economic collapse.
All these destabilizing factors influenced the Christian statement Verbo was lifting up: We fostered a church expression that took into account the greatest needs of the people at that time: the founding of Christian schools and orphanages, disaster and relief operations, medical and agricultural projects and establishing churches in strategic locations to further this vision.
All these activities left our home church in Managua in rental facilities for 25 years. Time, money and opportunity never seemed to coincide for a move to a more spacious location for a congregation that at the end of 2008 was nearing 1,500 people.
But the first week of June we made the move to our new home, a very nicely converted warehouse (with a huge amount of remodeling and building still to be done) in a key location in Managua. Verbo Center includes two warehouses and outbuildings slowly being reworked to accommodate not only the congregation but to serve as headquarters for our varied social services, outreaches, and growing family of churches. |

 GROWTH CURVE—The congregation in Villa Lobos, a Guatemala City suburb, started nearly five years ago with the help of longtime missionaries Dr. Mike and Sandy Kadera. They served in an auxiliary position while keeping up their other outreaches such as dental care and help for the Casa Bernabé orphanage until this year when they took on the task of presiding over the Villa Lobos pastoral team as senior pastors. God’s Way Is Best
The Lord and I had an informal agreement—so I thought—that he could send me to Africa or anywhere else in the world but that being a church minister wouldn’t be a part of it.
I’ve learned since then that whenever you tell the Lord that you don’t want to do something you will usually end up having to do that very thing. And that is exactly what my experience has been on the mission field.
As I look back over more than 30 years of service in Guatemala, I can see how the Lord has prepared my wife, Sandy, and I for the pastoral ministry we now have with the Verbo Villa Lobos church on the southern outskirts of Guatemala City. I am the presiding elder and Sandy is in charge of praise and worship and women’s ministries. |

Intensive Ministry School Will Operate in Guatemala For the first time in its 32-year history Verbo Ministries is opening a fulltime, on-campus ministry training school for young adults. Named Destino (Spanish for “Destiny”) the program is a cooperative effort with its founder and developer, Pastor Francis Anfuso, and his team at Church on the Rock in Roseville, Calif. “Destino provides intensive discipleship for both men and women who desire to strengthen their Christian character and prepare themselves for every good work. This is a total immersion experience where the students live, work, and study together,” according to school director José Carrera, a graduate of the two-year California program. |
