Day One
On Sunday, we all went with our churches to begin the great work of evangelizing the nation. Tim, Chris, Lora and Pastor Julio had 2 AWANA presentations that went very well. They talked to approximately 110 children and leaders of the churches. 2 of those churches are going to be starting OANSA in their church!! Praise God! Tim and Chris´s pastor also came to the hotel. He could not be at the opening rally as he had been mugged and robbed. Pray for him!
Lora went back to her church with Josh and was sharing with several people with backgrounds where they believed works would save them. She was able to lead several down the Gospel path!
Josh was struck by how different our cultures are, but how deeply we worship the same Mighty God.
Eric and Rose got to participate in a baby dedication and Eric gave the message for the Sunday service with a couple of people coming to the Lord!!! Yea God!!
Faye and Larry were able to share with a family who had a relative visiting who was a Christian. He had not been going to church, but was intending to share the Gospel with his unbelieving family. The presentation helped him rededicate to God!
Don was witnessing to an entire family whose father is very excited about Jesus and his whole family made a decision to follow Christ.
Hal was able to preach the lesson on Sunday and saw the Lord harvest 5 more souls!!

All this is to the Lord´s Glory and Praise!!
Pray for our discipleship with the people that have made a decision. This is very important to us as we need to grow strong trees and not just pretty flowers or plants! Thank you to Pastor Julio for that message....look in Matthew for the verses about trees!
Pray for the OANSA outreaches for the next few days...we want to plant good trees and nourish the ones that are already growing...

Blessings in the Lord,
The Peru Team

I am greatly encouraged (as we all are) about what God is accomplishing through your ministry time in Ica!

Sunday I pointed many people to the blog site, as posted through the church web page. There, they are reading all about God's glory in Ica, but they cannot post comments or replys through the church site, only the actualy blog site, so DO NOT be discouraged by lack of feedback!
It looks like all the feedback you need is coming through the form of many salvations and transformations
Amen!
You Are being Prayed For!!
Stay Strong - you are only beginning!! :D
