Life of a 40/40
So many people have asked me in the past "what is my daily routine as a 40/40?" There is no refined answer for this. However as of right now we have a weekly schedule. Of course it changes daily (depending of if the people are at home & of course God's plans). We work Monday-Friday mornings from 10am-12pm making new contacts. We then go back to our house for lunch. Then later in the afternoon around 3pm-7pm we continue visiting families & going through various discipling lessons. We have church services Thrusday & Sunday night at 7:00 we usually have around 15 people at these meetings. Saturdays are a little different, in the morning we have two group meetings (for disciplship) & then a youth service in the evening. Sunday morning is Escuela Dominical (Sunday School) we currently have three classes. Form 9:30-10:30 we have two classes with the yougner children (3-11yrs old). And then from 11:00am-12:00pm we have a youth class with 8 adolescent girls.
So this is my life day-day...below are just some photos of our daily work. In this ministry we work thorugh rain or shine. And in the photo below we just spent hours in Laura Bozo, returing with muddy sandles & muddy feet!

A Whole Year
August-September
Well it has been over one year since I moved to Peru. Wow! Looking back on the year God has moved mountains. Not only through the people of Peru but through me as well. One of the most common questions people ask me from home is; “If you had the chance to do this again would you?” I reply with a smile, “God only knows. I love this rollercoaster that I am on. But in order for me to do this again I need to be called. I would how ever been more willing & not question my call as much the second time around.”
We even celebrated our first anniversary as a family. On August 31 (real anniversary was August 28th) we spent the day sleeping in, relaxing, talking with family, chillin by the pool, & then later that evening we had West Virginia Fried Chicken, Onion Rings, French Fries, Milk Shakes, & Carrot Cake with Ice Cream. Of course any good American celebration is done with good food. We then played games & watched movies.
Over the past two month work has been really really busy. Nancy & I have been in the process of finding new contacts. While; at the same time, handing over our work & responsibility to the members of Laura Bozo. I never thought it would so hard to give up these responsibilities. Building a church is like raising a child or an animal. You cradle it & only want the best for it. Then when it is time for it (these new believers) to walk on their own (I’m proud) it’s hard to give up that grip & watch from the sidelines (especially through the hard times when mistakes or made). But I am learning to put my faith in God. All things are truly possible through the Omega.
At the end of August we had our first Baptism. The 30th of August is a national day for Baptism here in Peru. We all took off for the river at 7 in the morning. Just imagine over 70 people standing around, in a circle, signing praises to our king & confessing our love. We had over 30 people from all the Nazarene Churches here in Pucallpa. From Laura Bozo we had 3 teen girls confess their passion for God. It was a beautiful sight & I was very happy to be a part of this experience. After these dedications we spent time swimming & playing games.

ALGUNAS ESTADÍSTICAS/ BAUTISMO
Por la gracia de Dios este Lunes 30 de Agosto tres de nuestros nuevos creyentes fueron Bautizados, para testificar lo que Dios esta haciendo en sus vidas, y los cultos de estos dos últimos domingos han sido muy alentadores, las personas están asistiendo. A demás estuvimos celebrando el cumpleaños de todos los que cumplieron en Agosto. Una vez mas nos dimos cuenta que el ambiente esta quedando pequeño para los cultos, estamos orando para poder conseguir un terreno donde se construirá el templo, pero para eso necesitamos dinero. Por favor ayúdennos a orar por la Iglesia del Nazareno en Proceres- Pucallpa.
