Hello from Peru!

Hello from Peru!

Praise God we are alive with all the blessings of Christ!

I know our communication has been limited, but the work of God's Holy Spirit and Holy Word has not been limited at all!

It seems that each day brings something new and unexpected. He is sustaining us with words of encouragement and examples of love. He is opening hearts and transforming minds. He is birthing new things and delivering us from fear. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Thank you so much for your prayers for us!

We love you! We will see you tomorrow!

6/25 - Update from Peru

We're well and God is moving among the team and the people here. Most of us are well, some are weary, but we are rounding the last turn of the marathon and heading down the final stretch. We are so glad that Mary Anne is here! 

Too many wonderful stories to tell right now - so please be patient We are very grateful for your prayers for us and for God's message of hope to be given in abundance. The Marriage Conferences are tonight, one in each host church. The Women's Conferences on Wednesday were well received and everyone had the opportunity to minister and serve. 

Many of our kids are sharing the Gospel for the first time and are loving it. May God raise a new army!

We love you!
