Hey everybody! Greetings from Lima! Yup we are back in the big town! We are actually back in Guesthouse room number 6 - our first home here in Peru! We've been going flat out this past week- working with the vision conference our team held. We attended a day of training for the churches and then hit the road to show the representatives from the churches some areas that we are hoping they will adopt. It was a good trip and we are joining these churches in prayer as they seek God's will for their church. They all left tonight to go back home and we are anticipating a "free" day tomorrow- and maybe even a date:) Saturday and Sunday we are looking forward to seeing Christi and Blake Weaver who are in town and showing them some of Peru! We'll drop them back off in Lima and then hopefully head up to Usibamba and San Jose de Quero for a check up on how the small groups there are doing. Then we will rush back to Lima in time to go out with another vision trip.
I am extremely excited that my folks are coming out to visit the 2nd week of November! Thats very special and I can't wait to show them around!
We met some really great people this week out in the villages, some that I will be asking you to pray specifically for very soon. However one of the men that we got to know is especially on my heart. He is an Assembly of God pastor in a town named Banos. He has a very passionate heart for the Lord and has been amazingly welcoming and helpful to us. We attended a Sunday night service at his church and it was one of my favorite nights in Peru so far. Please be praying for him to be strengthened and encouraged in the Lord. Pray also that a church will adopt this area soon and help him teach and raise up leaders for other churches. Please also pray for his wife who had a csection about 6 months ago and is still suffering a complication from that.
I am not sure how to spell his name right now- I will post that later, but if you will just pray for the pastor in Banos- God will know who you mean!
Please continue to pray for strength for us and we go go go. Pray for this upcoming vision trip and for wisdom for us as we still learn our job.
Thanks to you all! I hope you are doing great! We'd love to hear from you!
