On November 17th I will have the privilege of traveling with John Grady, the leader of our Ancash Quechua Team across the mountain to Pomabamba. It was in this area, over 10 years ago, that God started telling me "stay tuned, got something else in store for you and if I told you now, you wouldn't believe it."
Though there has been a missionary presence there and in the Northern Conchucos for a number of years, it is only recently that we have seen the harvest begin. We will visit with the Fleetwood’s and while there John will lead part of the Bible study time.
Please PRAY that the Spirit will guide John to share scripture that will grab the hearts and minds of those who attend. It will be a time of bringing together outreach groups from Chuyas, Jancapampa, Rajra / Conopa, Tarapampa and Huanchacbamba for a time of worship and Bible study. Please PRAY especially that leaders in each group will make commitments to look after the spiritual health of those who live in their communities. In other words, that each group will have at least one identifiable leader who has a passionate vision of their family and community being transformed into a Bible-believing, Spirit-empowered, God-seeking community of faith in Jesus.
Also, PRAY for our safety as we travel. The rainy season began some time ago on the eastern side of the Andes and the roads have begun to deteriorate.
In the top photo are Pedro and his family listening to Christian music, perhaps one of his favorite songs that says:
Sing of your victory, Brother
Don't be discouraged by the struggles
By the struggles and tests that you face
Because we know we have a Savior!
When we die, we will carry nothing with us
Not profit nor riches
Because we have in heaven
Great gain and a crown!
Amen!!!
