Source: www.MNNonlline.org Date: May 31, 2007 Venezuela (MNN) -- Thousands of protesters marched in Venezuela this week over President Hugo Chavez's decision to silence opposition media. Trans World Radiohas an office in Venezuela. TWR's Jim Munger says right now, they're operating normally. However, "Chavez has been pretty clear, from the beginning, what his direction is. He continues to fill out the details. There's no question that he is Socialist with a Marxist interpretation. He has stated that openly, and that's the direction he's going with the government." Could the Gospel message they broadcast make them a target? That's yet to be seen, although there are some concerns. Munger urges prayer. "I think we need to pray that God would be glorified through everything that happens there, that God would give wisdom to the church leaders, and that they would know how to live and minister in a context that's difficult."
