Our names are Brandtley and Jenyve Greenlaw. For the salvation of souls, we became full-time volunteers for GMI in 2017. We saw the last day events of prophecy developing so fast before our eyes that it was impossible to ignore getting involved. There isn’t much time left to witness and very soon the door of probation will be closed never to open again.

We decided to sell all that could be sold, gave notice on our rental, and joined the team. It took longer than we thought, but God kept bringing people to buy our used furniture, appliances and stuff and God provided opportunities to witness to the people we met during the sales.

We are now part of the team in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Jenyve is head of the school, teaching the children of the volunteer missionary families, and Brandtley is making flights to pick up patients, bringing them to the hospital for treatment as well as flying volunteers and supplies to the school in Guyaramerin and the children’s home in Rurrenebaque. We assist in the outreach programs with the other volunteers and Brandtley also helps run the music recording studio at Red ADVenir capturing various artists’ music to be used for video recordings and plays during the monthly live broadcast.

A while ago there was a premature baby on oxygen with an IV that needed to be transported to a better facility for extended care. There wasn’t enough fuel in the plane to make the flight without going to the local airport for fuel. That would cause about a 4 hour delay waiting for the clouds to lift, refueling, filing a flight plan, and going through narcotics for inspection. These delays might put the baby at further risk. But, there just happened to be enough fuel in gas cans at our base in Red ADVenir to go directly there. Praise the Lord.

Brandtley was asked to fly bee hives 500 miles north to the school in Guyaramerin so they can learn how to work with bees and grow the hives. That’s not a normal request. Can you imagine what might happen if the bees got out of their hives while we were flying? This could be a very painful flight if not done right. Who could we ask for help? God can do anything, so, we prayed that the bees would be calm and there would be no stinging. And guess what? God answered our prayer, but not without first testing our faith. During the flight over 200 bees got out and were flying inside the cabin! They were going everywhere trying to get out. They were landing on our heads, arms, faces and of course crawling on the airplane windows, but none of them stung! They were our friends in flight!

There are many other stories to tell of how God has answered our prayers as He is teaching us to trust Him. Through restricted freedoms and persecution, we will need to have developed an unwavering trust in God like a child trusting his father or mother. We are happier serving God as missionary volunteers than pursuing worldly careers. It is easier work, a lighter load, than the pressure of the working world. Jesus words are true when He said, “My yoke is easy, and My burden is light” Matthew 11:30.

We are currently in Tennessee, waiting to fly a mission plane down to Bolivia. We brought an engine up from Guyana to be fixed and we will take it back when it’s ready. Our time here is spent working on the plane, ordering parts, and Brandtley is studying for the first written exam to become a Certified Flight Instructor. One of his goals is to be able to help train more mission pilots.

Our focus is to serve and assist in the work of reaching lost souls for Christ. Whatever we can do to help in any area, we will do. We’ve discovered that God supplies the talent we don’t have. If we are willing to go and work in any area, God will provide what we need. We’ve learned to work with God rather than think we are going to do something and get help from Him.
