I will never forget the night I promised to serve the Lord until my last breath. I had absolutely no idea the Lord would bless me with allowing me to serve Him around the world! It seems each month I am able to see God work in more and more amazing ways.
Peru has been particularly amazing. My understanding of what ministry is has broadened once again! This month has been full of relational ministry as we spend most of our time with the youth of the church. Throughout the week we participate in leading one prayer service, two youth services, one service for women and two church services at the church. We also go to two neighboring communities and work with the children in the poor communities three times a week. We spend four afternoons a week doing door to door ministry as we visit the sick who are unable to come to church, those who stopped coming to church, and nonbelievers. Our nights are spent playing volleyball or soccer with the youth and their families as we build relationships with many of the members of the church.
Our last weekend here is particularly busy as we were invited to a wedding and asked to lead games as well as sing a song. Our last day of ministry, tomorrow, will be filled with sharing testimonies during the two services, leading the children’s Sunday school, and leading a birthday party service for all the kids of the community.
What a blessing it is to be able to tell so many about the love of God! We have seen so much progress as many people have started coming to church for the first time of the first time in a very long time!
Praise the Lord!
