Dear Pastors and Praying friends,
“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.” I Chronicles 16:8. Praise the Lord! In our last letter (it was an email letter) we had asked for prayer for a few of our needs. Praise the Lord, we had $3,000+ dollars of medical bills taken care of! The majority of our debt from returning back to Peru has been taken care of also. Praise the Lord!!! It gets better! Continue reading

Dear Pastors and Praying friends,
We are glad to be back ‘home’ in Peru, and getting back into the grove of things. A family camp had already been planned when we returned from the USA, but because of many reasons, we replaced it with an impromptu VBS that turned out very well! We had many children come with over 50 different kids throughout the 3 days. There were many great contacts made. Many of them returned Sunday. We have struggled in the area where our church is currently located, it seems as though kids aren’t allowed to go to church. We have been in this location for 4 years, and we always had more kids in the other area with a much smaller location. We don’t understand the difference, however we are praying that God will open their hearts and homes with the seeds that have been sown. Please continue to pray for our church and area. Continue reading

Dear Pastors and Praying Friends,
My how this year how flown by. It is hard to believe a year ago at this time we didn’t even realize we would be in the States and now we are getting ready to fly back. We are busy shopping for last minute things and packing up. By the time you receive this I am sure we will already be back home in Peru. We recently celebrated 10 yrs of being in Peru and we are looking forward to many more. Continue reading

Dear Praying Friends,
It is always good to get good news! Pastor Fredy in Peru wrote to give us some good news about some things there in Peru. A few years ago Pastor Fredy and I were asked to visit a person in jail. We went that week, and found the young man completely broken, and torn up. Continue reading

Dear Pastors and Praying friends,
As always we appreciate your prayers for us as we travel the USA on furlough. We have traveled a lot this past month, from Michigan to Alabama, to South Carolina, and up to New York before landing back at ‘home’ in Ohio, it was a circuit of well over 3,000 miles. Praise the Lord we had good meetings, and appreciated seeing everyone we were able to see. Space would not allow me to write everyone, and everywhere we visited.

Dear Pastors and Praying friends,
Thank you for your many prayers on our behalf. We have been busy visiting supporting churches and some new churches as well. We have been blessed with safety along the way and God has provided our every need. We have been awed at the ways God has used to supply our needs and been taught a few times to never underestimate God’s power. We are thankful to Iglesia Bautista Monte de los Olivos for taking us on as one of their missionaries. We are in need of raising about 20% more support while home. We also want to thank the faithfulness of our many supporting churches, some of your have been able to raise our support and we appreciate it so much. As our family and ministry grows the dollar seems to be shrinking. 
Dear Pastors and Praying friends,
Since our last prayer letter, we have hit the road running. We have been in 12 States and driven over 6,000 miles and used over 500 gallons of gas. Praise the Lord we had no vehicle trouble and the Lord provided everything we needed along the way. In the month of March we were in 3 mission conferences. It has been a blessing to be able to present our work in Peru to some new churches as well as to some of our faithful supporting churches. It is always good to see old friends and new faces at the churches we visit. Please continue to pray for our family as we travel. Pray for people to be burdened for missions and that more churches will take us on for support. Continue reading
Dear Friend,
We arrived in the USA on the 12th of December. Reverse culture shock, Christmas upon us, and having the carpet pulled out from under us, causes us to keep our focus on Christ! We hadn’t seen an Arby’s, Wendy’s or half the other food choices in 3 years! Walmart, and going to church with ‘white’ people is not part of our life in Peru. Driving in an organized, orderly fashion, is yet another oddity for us. Continue reading
