Help requested. I'm in Venezuela working and one of my co-workers seems very inerested in end times prophesy. I plan to send him the link to this site but his English is not very good. He is also Catholic but I didn't go there with him. He explained that his wife was "Angelic" and that's a new one for me. Evidently she believes Moses is the savior.
Now for the help request. Can any of you recommend a good Spanish language site equivelant to this one? Also, any site in Spanish that could explain Catholocism in a way that wouldn't turn him off immediately would help.
Thanks in advance

I suggest you visit one or two local Evangelical churches and get some good sources from them, internet and otherwise. Dios te bendiga and may our Lord use you to reach this co-worker and others.

Hi, I don't know if this will help but on the first page of Rapture Ready there is a link with articles in Spanish:

Good advice TT but somewhat impractical in my situation so far. I should mention that my Spanish is pretty much non-existant (but learning). I haven't met anyone down here yet that is evangelical (good point for prayer) or even knows where an evangelic church is. This is a Roman Catholic Stronghold like I've never seen before.
I'm in Puerto Ordaz which, like most of Venezuela, is a good place to get dead if you wander one street in the wrong direction. There are several murders every month of some poor slob that looked like he had a little money. It's a lawless country and the residents are afraid to go out at night. The police are invisible unless they're getting into your pocket. It's really sad to see the hopelessness of so many nice people that just want a good life for their family. I'm hoping the dispair translates to fertile fields. I have at least one small seed planted so far. Please pray it gets watered.
Thanks
Zack

I guess the language barrier will hinder you a bit... and stay away from the police because they're often the worst of the criminals. Stay in doors at night, and if you have to go out at night, and are walking, walk in the middle of the road. If you see someone nonchalantly change direction to come right towards you, don't look back, but do run away if you're not already surrounded.
Even in small towns there will usually be an "evanjelico" congregation. They might not have a church per se. Looks like mssophie gave you a spanish internet source... may the Lord bless your efforts on His behalf.

Here's a thought just popped into my head, NewZack: get your friend to help you learn Spanish by using the Bible as your source text! Pick out useful quotes like
John 14:6 (Way, truth, life) refuting the mediatrix nonsense as well as the Grace plus works stumbling block
Colossians 2:8 warning against substituting/adding human traditions
Revelation 22:18 - 19 now that's a copywrite statement if there ever was one!
And most importantly, LOVE and PRAYER, but I'm sure you know these already or you wouldn't be bothering anyway...

I love that Idea Katriel. Thank you very much,
Thank you all for your prayers. Especially the ones for my lovely wife.
