What a Day!!

good morning! it is early here in peru as we are getting ready for a big day with the older children from the orphanage and Bible Study tonight with the students from Monte Sion Baptist Church. yesterday was quite a day! it was a day where God was working all over the place (as He does all the time...we just are too busy to see it most of hte time!) we started out at the university yesterday morning. we showed a dvd about some professional baseball players who gave their testimony about their faith in Jesus and the difference it had made in their lives. jarrett and christen led in worship and destiney, ryan, justin m., and hannah b. gave their testimonies! powerful! then pastor carlos explained the Gospel to the college students and then we had the opportunity to pass out New Testaments to each student and shared with them about our lives in Christ. our students jumped at the opportunity to laugh and connect with these college students! it was an awesome sight to see! we pray that many seeds were planted in both the morning and afternoon sessions and we praise Jesus for the salvation of 2 girls from the university who accepted Christ yesterday morning. to God be the glory!!

after our afternoon at the university we received a special invitation from Monte Sion Baptist Church where we ministered at the day before. they are celebrating the school's 8th anniversary and last night they crowned Miss Monte Sion! it was a blast. lots of music, custom dancing, and people everywhere! our students did not want to leave!

after dinner Larry led us around the back of our dorms where 2 fire pits were going and some sticks and marshmallows were laying around. all of a sudden the infamous Mariachi Band came out of nowhere and we commenced to dance (yes Pastor Rick...dance!) for the next 45 minutes. it was a lot of fun! after our fiesta we spent some great time in worship by testifying about lessons that God was teaching us. we also spent some time praying for Doris' family who are not believers. it was a powerful day!

i would ask that you pray for today as we share the Gospel with the older children from the orphanage. pray that they might have ears to hear. also pray for tonight as we meet with the youth group from Monte Sion. pray that our time of worship and testimony will be fruitful!

once again thanks for the encouraging comments! God is good!
