News from The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO DEL TACHIRA, Venezuela (AP) -- More than 100,000 Venezuelans, some of whom drove through the night in caravans, crossed into Colombia over the weekend to hunt for food and medicine that are in short supply at home.

This is an email from our national coordinator in Venezuela

Hi,
I was born and raised in Venezuela. I am 34 and have a wife and my baby Sebastian (3 years old).

I am a national coordinator in Venezuela for CMC international. We have a network of pastors working hard in the great commission trying to launch a church planting movements, but right now Venezuela is in the midst of a crisis. We don’t have access to medicines, food, and many other things we need for every day living. Money is never enough because we are living in hyper inflation where prices change each day and we never have a enough. We live a country right now where for you to be able to buy one week of food you need the money you make in 4 months… We have a massive amount of corruption in all areas of government, orphans in the street, and people have nothing to eat. Sometimes you have to be 9 hours in line in a supermarket to buy some food and many there isn’t enough food in the supermarkets, and next year will be even worse if everything keeps going this way, and it looks like that is going to happen. Me and my family believe God placed us in Venezuela for the reason, to reach our own people with the gospel and as much as possible I will stay in this country doing what God calls me to do: share the gospel and plant churches. With the money that people donate to CMC I help some of the pastors from our network in CMC. They are in need of money, please help us by prayer and donation in order to give more food to more people. We have to buy food in black market because there is no food in the stores (because of a lack of food, robberies and corruption) and the prices on the black market are killing us. Please help us, to help some more people!!!
