16 Amazing Months in Perú

God has been so very good to us.  During our time in Perú, God blessed in ways that we never thought were possible.  I am so thankful for the opportunity we had to serve and see God work in the manner in which He did.

I have compiled this video presentation as a tribute to what God did during our 16 months in Perú.  I hope it will give you a small glimpse of what God used you to do.  Nothing would have been posssible without your prayers and support.  I hope you will be able to see your investment and be encouraged by what God used you to do.  Thank you so much for your support!

I condensed several times, but the video is still a bit lengthy.  I hope you take the time to watch it and I hope it ministers to you and your church people.  God bless you!

Perú says "Thank You" - Part 3

Thank you for taking the time over the last few days to hear from some of our church people.  I wish each of you could sit down one-on-one with these and many others.  I wish you could communicate with them and get to know them.  I wish you could understand their heart.

I hope these testimonies give you a little glimpse into some of their lives.  I hope you understand the profound difference you have made for so many.  There will be one more video, but this is the third and final testimony I will be sharing with you.  Gianfranco is the son of Miri Sotelo from the first video.  This young man is extremely talented, has an incredible heart, and a bright future.  Please pray for him and the work that God is doing in his life.

Perú says "Thank you" - Part 2

I hope you enjoyed our first post of this little series.  I am truly amazed of the work that God has permitted us to do in Perú.  We have seen hundreds saved and 6 churches started.  However, the most amazing part is to see the lives that God has touched.

Cecilia is one such life.  Cecilia was saved in our very first church service and was the instrument God used to plant in my heart the burden to start our church in San Genaro.  She is our number one soul winner and has one of the strongest desires to learn I have ever seen in a new Christian.  Both she and her family are very close to our hearts.

I hope you enjoy this very brief testimony.  Most importantly, I hope you realize what God has done through you not only in her life, but also in the lives of many others just like her.

Perú says "Thank You" - Part 1

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your investment in and prayers for both our family and our ministry in Perú.  These last 3 months have been very difficult for us.  I am not complaining and do not want to make excuses for the decrease in videos, prayer letters, Facebook posts, blogs, ect.  However, Jessica and I have simply been focusing on determining what God is doing in our lives.  I will say more about this over the next two weeks, but that is not the purpose of this blog.

I began in October to create several videos to show you all that God has done through you in Perú.  I obviously postponed these projects, but wanted to begin sharing them with you now.  Over the next 2 weeks, I wanted to share 3 brief testimonies with you, as well as a one additional video about our ministry.  The people in these testimonies were not only reached by our ministry, but also are helpers and key people in the church we started in San Genaro.  I hope you enjoy these testimonies and understand the great difference you are making in Lima, Perú!



Please continue to pray for Jhonny Farfán, Miri Sotelo, and their family.
