It's hard to believe that we have less than four weeks before Peru! We are all extremely thankful for you ongoing prayers, as we have seen God at work in all of our hearts and we are beginning to get VERY excited for our trip!
Today we had the opportunity to meet with Jimmy, one of the representatives who works with REAP South, that will be traveling with us, and began discussing some of the work that we will be doing as a team in Peru. Some of the work we will be doing includes being able to go into the public schools and share the gospel with the students.
Pray that the Word of God, which is sharper than any two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12), would be able to pierce their heart. Peru is largely Catholic and they do hold the Scriptures in high esteem, with much authority. However, many of them have NEVER "read" the Scripture and only "learned" their beliefs from the the local priests. They have no idea about what the Scriptures teach of Christ, they pray and confess to the saints and they hold Mary in high regard.
We have also begun to organize some of our travel plans (driving to the airport, returning, etc.). There are lots of small details and many questions that need to be answered before we go. Please pray for wisdom and discernment regarding answers to these details and questions. Many of the small details, may seem insignificant, however in the long run...they play a VITAL role in the planning process. (I speak this from a well learned lesson having been to Peru last year.)
May the grace of God be with you and may you see His glory revealed to you. God Bless!!
"To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever."--1 Tim.1:17
