Jesup to Yungay and Mancos

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way he should go;

    even when he is old he will not depart from it."

Most parents in this area have little, if any, knowledge of what the Bible says about bringing up children. The Jesup GA team, along with Pastor Joel and his wife Hilda, Peruvian missionary Maria and interpreters Myra and Erick will teach the children how we build our lives in accordance with the Word of God. 

Be a part of this work and PRAY for them in the days ahead.

First, We Pray

As we begin what we consider to be the busier time of the year, I am asking for you to pray for our U.S. teams who are serving here in the Huaylas Valley. These churches and individuals have made a huge commitment, both personal and financial. Some sacrifice a great deal to come 3 or 4 times a year.

Ingleside Church, Macon, GA – led by David serving in Santa Cruz, Huaylas and Macate
South Fork Association,  Lincolnton, NC – led by Ken, Bartley & Krystle serving in Caraz
FBC Jesup, GA – led by Mike & Creston in Yungay
Ebenezer BC, Hillsborough, NC  – led by Phillip and René serving in Recuay and the surrounding area.
Lifepoint Church and partnering with them The Ridge Church & Chillicothe BC in Ohio - led by Jonathan, Steve and Shane - serving in Tapacocha, Cotaparaco & Pararin

Also lift up Colonial Heights Baptist Church (Ridgeland, MS), a team from my home area. They are led by long time partners, Randy and Gene.
Pray for:
1. Continued guidance by the Holy Spirit in their efforts.
2. Wisdom as they plan and execute the necessary strategy to reach and disciple the lost.
3. Deeper relationships with their Peruvian partners and leaders

I know these folks will appreciate your prayers.
Please share this with your praying brothers and sisters in Christ.
Dios bedicishunki!

Outreach to Children and Farmers

On Friday a team of 5 from the lovely hamlet of Jesup, Georgia will arrive in Yungay. Translating for them will be Anibal and David. They will be working with Pastor Joel and his wife Hilda. Pray that the Lord will use them in a mighty way to reach the children in the after school Bible club and the farmers in their fields. Also, pray for safe travel as they fly to Lima then Anta.
