Through the power of deliverance, Drake's father woke up early and was guided to find enough gas to reach the missionaries. The second was that Drake's parents were seen as targets because they were foreigners and drove cars that were similar to the government officials, who were targeted during that time. Two major difficulties stood in the way of being able to reach the missionaries: the first was that the two mission vehicles didn't have enough gas, and no gasoline had entered the city for the past five days. This conflict left the missionaries stranded in very dangerous areas, and a dozen or so were trapped in the middle of El Alto and couldn’t get out. In 2003, Drake’s parents were serving as leaders over the La Paz Bolivia mission, in the midst of a great conflict known as the Bolivian Gas War. There is a Great Deliverer.”ĭrake outlined his talk in three acts, just like a modern-day film.Īct One, The Bolivian Gas War: A Deliverance Story “As we get older, we realize that we are in a fallen world and that each of our character arcs includes periods of serious trial and struggle … I testify that hope comes through the Gospel of Jesus Christ there is a Savior.
In this journey, all are reliant on the Savior Jesus Christ to deliver them from their trials and, ultimately, from death. He continued by explaining that this life is the ultimate deliverance story, in a film called mortality. Drake made the claim that the reason these movies have made such a profit is because they revolve around one common theme: deliverance. He spoke about our need for deliverance and Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate deliverer.ĭrake began by revealing a list of the top 15 highest-grossing films of all time, almost all of them action movies full of heroes and the fights between good and evil.
Michael Drake, professor in the School of Accountancy in the BYU Marriott School of Business, delivered today's devotional address.
