Hi Saints,
Today is Thursday, and I am emailing from the church sanctuary just as the Marriage Conference is about to begin. In Peru the event start times are really just suggestions - and the worship leader just arrived at 8:00 PM for the meeting which was to start at 7:30! The crowd is beginning to drift in as well. While several of us are here, the rest of the team is upstairs ready to provide childcare and ministry to all children who come tonight.
It appears that today we were really assaulted by sickness and fever. Cassie, Cristina, Sarah K, Michelle, and Emma missed ministry opportunities, and several others were a bit weakened by sore throats and coughs. After a quick walk-through we were able to continue with our drama Toy Maker and Son, and all six back-ups really did well.
After a visit to Pat's Place and hearing an update of the ministry there to abused women and their children, the team split to support a second medical mission and to give two street drama presentations. The first was at a Market and the Lord opened the hearts of 20 people to the Gospel. There was in particular one young man age 15, and one young woman in here early twenties that came and received Christ. The next site was a high school, where we were welcomed by 500 teenagers. Stephanie gave her testimony and Dylan and Jordan presented the Gospel!
This morning we also sent three men to help paint at Martin's house - they got a good start but their is still more to go. It's a race to see if it can be finished by this Saturday when we are planning to have a house dedication service. Martin and Shayla and several others have been such a blessing to us in helping translate questions, answers, prayers, and every other type of communication required.
OK, the conference has begun! I need to go!
God Bless!
Bill
