THE NEWS of LATE
Lots to say about the ‘goings-on’ here in Peru…seriously, things have been going 100 miles a minute and we love it. To keep from being long-winded, here’s the info in a to-the-point format:
~ The church body continues to grow numerically and, much more important, spiritually. Regular weekly Bible-studies are nurturing [...]
We have an exciting update for two reasons. On January 5th we welcomed our very first interns who are here from the Aggies For Christ! We (and them) hit the ground RUNNING and it has been an amazing two weeks already. We love having them here! Here is their blog about [...]
Our teammates, The Thompsons, abruptly lost their financial support just over two months ago. They left their home here in Lima with the hopes of returning to it as soon as possible. They flew back to Texas and started blazing down that fundraising trail once again. We, as a team, have no doubt that Lima [...]

I am excited to announce to all of you that we had our first Celebration [...]

The longer we’re here the more apparent it becomes that we don’t have the perfect answer to this question. In fact, I suspect it will be years before we have any real chance of speaking intelligently on this subject. However, we do have a start. We know more (much, much more) than [...]
Ephesians 3:20-21 gives praise to God who, “by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine.” Team Lima was able to witness the power of this verse last week during Monday Night Fútbol. Earlier that Monday, during our guy prayer time, [...]
