Pray for the New President of Perú

Today, Ollanta Moisés Humala Tasso, will take the oath of office and become the new president of Perú.
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

Also, pray that all people will come to know that our hope is not in government or men, but in Christ.

Bells Shoals Medical team in Marca and Huayllapampa

A team from Bell Shoals Church (Florida) began a door-to-door medical ministry in Huayllapampa today. They will return there tomorrow then minister for 2 days in Marca. They will separate into 2 teams allowing them to contact more people and also share the Gospel in a more personal way.
(Pictured above is a statue near the river in Marca. The statue depicts the traditional dress of the ladies there.)

Where He is Working

Later this week a team of 4 from the South Carolina Convention will be coming. They will minister in Recuay, Ocunan, Utcuyacu and Huaripampa. They will be prepared to share what the Bible says about being a spouse, parenting and resisting the temptations of the world. We have tried to make plans for their time here but it just seems everything isn’t falling into place like WE think it should. This is often the case but I have always found God to be faithful in leading us to people and places where He is already working.
Pray for April, Will, Leigh and Gloria (above) as they seek those people and places.

Work continues in Caraz

A couple of weeks ago, a team from the South Fork Association (North Carolina) ministered in Caraz. While there doors began to open. Two of the team members, pictured above, stayed behind to continue the work. Since then they have continued to conduct Bible studies, teach in the schools, show the Jesus film and build relationships with town officials, the police and just about everyone else they encounter. Pray these relationships will grow even stronger and that people will see the love of Christ in Bartley and Krystle.
(Pictured above – Bartley and Krystle with local policemen. This is rather unusual as police usually refuse to have their photo taken. Perhaps Bartley bribed them with ice cream.)
