GOD’S WORD
Psalm 78:1-4
NKJV
1
Give ear, O my people, to my law;
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I
will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,
3
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

Thank You
Dear Family,
My work in
Parcona, Ica
, Peru is finished for this year. However, the
memories and friends that I have made will last me for a lifetime. I
can only hope that my presence in Peru has had the same effect on
those that I have met there. I also hope that even though our team
is no longer there, that the work will still continue.
Thank you so much
for your financial support of my trip. I can
honestly say that without you, the trip would not have been
possible. Because of YOU, I was able to work in
Peru for two weeks. I was able to see both
tragedy and beauty, and to once again be reminded of God’s many
blessings in my own life.
During the trip, I was blessed to be able to assist doctors
and dentists, hand out eyeglasses, be involved in street evangelism,
and lead my very first Bible studies. With God’s help, our team was
able to see 1535 patients, fill 3698 prescriptions, study the Bible
with 1025 individuals, and baptize 71 of them into Christ!
Also, because of
this trip, God as presented me with the opportunity to work
full-time with Latin American Missions for at least the next year
and a half. I feel that God is calling me to
this great work, and I would appreciate your prayers and support for
me as I begin this new transition. If you would like any more
information about this, feel free to contact me.
Finally, thank
you again for aiding me on my trip. It was truly
a blessing! Also, thank you for your prayers, and please keep the
brethren in Peru in your prayers. Please let me know if you would
like any more information about my trip, or about Latin American
Missions.
Dios
te bendiga
[God Bless]
