"Your people will rebuild the
ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old
foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets
with Dwellings.”
Isaiah 58:12 NIV
Dear Brothers
and Sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord
Jesus Christ. We praise the Lord God for all He is doing in
our lives and in the ministry here in
August was an exciting month for us as we held our 5th Gathering
event for our discipleship groups in Huancayo.
In the past Gatherings we provided lunch for everyone and it was limited
to those that were involved in a small group.
This time we tried something different.
We provided only the meeting place, the things for the prayer and praise
service, and the beverages for lunch.
The participants were allowed to invite friends and family, especially
those that were unsaved, and each person provided their own food and
transportation. Pablo Paredes, our
missionary to Puerto Bermudez, preached the message. He gave two calls, one for those who wanted
to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and one for those who would dedicate
themselves to disciple others. We saw 22
persons give their lives to the Lord Jesus and twelve take up the challenge to
form new discipleship groups.
Persons
that committed to be new discipleship group leaders.
Our first leadership and team building
workshop was held for our missionary team that works in the jungle. They all gathered in Huancayo for four days
of intensive learning. Pastor Alberto
Fernandez and Arthur led the workshop.
The Lord Jesus moved in the hearts of the participants bringing new
freedom and revelation to each one. They
also developed a deeper understanding of the vision for the work in

Please continue to be in prayer for the continued growth in the ministries here
in Peru, especially in the Canta Valley, Huancayo, Palcazu, Pelmaz,
Bermudez, Shiringamazu, Villa America, Huánuco, Sambillo Alto,
Rio Azul Ugarteche, San Augustine, KM 40 and Tinahuani. Also, pray for the ministries in Huancayo,
especially the Colegio El Camino. Please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit
would continue to awaken and change hearts among the young adults of
Huancayo. Please give praise to the Lord
for bringing us additional persons called to be part of the missionary
team in
We pray that God is drawing you closer and closer to Him every
day. God bless you. We love you.
Yours
in Christ,
Arthur,
