Some folks asked me for some ministry stats from our trip. We did not try to record this data during the ministry, but here are some conservative estimates of what happened through your labor of love during the ten days we were on the ground in Peru:
- About 5000 people heard the gospel message of Christ’s offer of salvation and other key truths from the word of God concerning Integrity in Christ, the Marriage Covenant, and encouragement to women.
- Almost 400 prayed to receive Christ as Savior and Lord of their life
- Over 1500 people received prayers for their personal needs and concerns
- Several hundred believers in four churches were greatly encouraged by your sacrifice of self and love for Jesus!
These things were accomplished by the Lord’s strength, and your service to the people of Peru via:
- 3 Women’s Conferences
- 3 Marriage Conferences
- 2 Youth Conferences
- 2 Medical Clinics
- 8 Sports Clinics
- 32 SpellBound Drama presentations
- 8 Sunday Worship service messages
- 2 prayer walks
- And countless smiles, hugs, pictures, conversations!
And we give thanks to our fantastic Peru staff who were instrumental in all that happened:
- 10 cooks and custodians
- 15 translators
- 4 bus drivers
- 5 project managers
- 7 pastors and wives
- 3 medical professionals
- 2 hotel staff
- None of this could have happened without them!
Thank you again, for your strong commitment to the team, your fantastic attitudes early and late and through out each day, your willingness to step up and out of your comfort zones, your joy and laughter in every situation, and your love for Christ and the people of Tablada, Pamplona, Villa Maria, Pachacutec, Good Shepherd Orphanage, and San Juan de Lurigancho. I believe God answered all of our prayers!
May Jesus be praised and may our lives shine brightly for Him!
