Venezuela

Description

Venezuela is located on the northern coast of South America. It shares a border with Colombia on the west and Brazil on the south. Venezuela is known for its extremely high rate of biodiversity and is ranked 7thin the world with the most number of species, thanks to the wide range of habitats such as the Andes Mountains, rainforest, plains, and Caribbean coastline. Caracas, the capital city, has a population of close to 3 million people. 51.6% of the population is Mestizo, 43.6% is White, 2.9% is Black, and 1.2% is made up of other races.

What is known as Venezuela today was colonized by Spain in 1522. In 1811, it became one of the first Spanish-American colonies to declare independence, being fully recognized as an independent country in 1830. Throughout the 19thand 20thcenturies, Venezuela has experienced political and military unrest that continues on today. The political system of Venezuela is formally recognized as a federal presidential republic and consists of 23 states. Today, the country is one of the most urbanized countries in Latin America. Venezuela’s economy is driven by the production of oil which was discovered in the early 20thcentury and boasts the largest oil reserves in the world.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.

We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
