Love Extreme (Main Event) Arequipa, Peru

Love Extreme

These past two weeks Nancy & I have been in Arequipa, Peru helping out our brothers & sisters. Our main part here is consoladation or spiritual counselors. After the huge event on 6/19 & 6/20 (where we have Nick Vujicic, Tammy Trent, Felix Vargas, & many more famous names come to give their testimony & sing) we followed up with the new believers. For Love Extreme (the main event) we had over 10,000 people & about 80% accept Christ. God was truly at work & present here in Arequipa. We went to visit individaul houses where we invited them to join the church & start discipleship. This past weekend Extreme put on a Spiritual Retreat. We had 24 new believers at this retreat. Where we started to disciple them on how to live their lives with God. Praise God, we had 4 peple be baptized. The 40/40's here in Arequipa have their work cut out for them. But with God in the middle of it we our bound to see more miracles happen.

Thank you for all your payer and support for this event. With out prayer & the presence of God none of this would have happened!

Thought of the Week: "You shall rest. DO not be afraid. Just submit to me. Do not look upon circumstances, do not look upon yourself, & do not look to tohers. Pray more & you shall see my glory"

God is truly amazing he is capable of all things...through everything I have been through he still surprises me with his presence & faithfullness. Lets give praise to our King today for what he has accomplised & for what he still has planned.

Preparing for Love Extreme (Pucallpa)

Over the past week my group has been preparing for LOVE EXTREME. We will be participating in Love Extreme 2. Where a group of short term volunteer from USA will start their ministry in Arequipa (for 5 days) and then head up here to Pucallpa (for a week) to do social projects. They will be cleaning streets, washing & cutting hair, giving manicures & pedicures, plaing with kids....but most importantly showing the love of CHRIST.

It has been a very busy week. But I am excited to see what doors God opens through this project. Please keep my team in your prayers as we continue to do Gods work!!

NO es imposible...

Siempre decimos que Dios es quien va delante de nosotras y es el quien guia el trabajo que nos encomendo, Kristy y yo siempre decimos que planear en muy importante pero Dios dispone de nuestro tiempo mas que nosotras mismas....
Nuestro horario esta llenandose cada dia mas y nos da mucho gusto porque esta semana empezamos con el discipulado con 8 nuevas personas y seguimos con el prediscipulado. Fue un poco dificil porque dos personas por quienes fuimos a orar murieron esta semana, estaban agonizando cuando llegamos pero lo mas importante es que aceptaron a Jesus en su corazon antes de morir. y oramos para que esto pueda ayudar a sus familiares a reflexionar y sean sencibles a la voz de Dios y abran sus corazones a el.

Tambien realizamos el culto el jueves, aunque fuimos sorprendidos por la actitud del hermano Esteban, el dueño de la casa, porque anuncio que ibamos a realizar cultos los martes, jueves, sabados y domingos. pero luego hablamos y estamos tratando de coordinar mejor. porque primero queremos capacitar a los primeros hermanos y enseñarles el sistema de trabajo de la Iglesia del Nazareno, para que cuando salgamos de ese lugar ellos puedan continuar con el trabajo.

El domingo continuamos con la Escuela dominical, asistieron 18 niños y luego visitamos un hogar de una familia q quiere reconciliarse con Dios.

Estamos siempre dando gracias a Dios quien nos sustenta con su amor y misericordia.
