A STEP OF FAITH!!!

After conferring with our mission director, Mark Becker, we felt led to make a true step of faith on our parts.  WE HAVE BOUGHT TICKETS FOR PERU!!!!  Though our monthly support has not grown adequately to support us on the mission field, we felt that God was leading us to put our complete trust in HIM!  We are scheduled to fly out for Peru on July 9, 2015!!  We believe that God will raise up those HE wants to support HIS work in Peru, or HE will provide our needs day by day as we are faithful to do HIS bidding. 

Excitement runs through our home today as we think about the land that we love.  Leaving Peru the first time was the hardest thing either of us had experienced.  The excitement that comes with the knowledge of returning also brings with it the full weight of our responsibility before Christ to our precious Peruvian people.  We have been in contact with Pastor Luiz in Lima, and look forward to being an encouragement to him.  He has started different works in Lima, below Lima, and Iquitos (a very hard place to reach...mostly by boat or plane).  He seems to have a  passion for souls and we would covet your prayers as we seek God's will in whatever way HE leads.  We are also praying for other contacts that we have made in southern Peru.

We have another opportunity to work for Jesus in a city in the far south of Peru called Arequipa.  We desire to be working to be a light for Jesus wherever HE plants us. We want to be busy seeking the lost in whatever city HE chooses to place us at any given time!

We are giving each Thursday for fasting and praying for God's work in Peru.  We would ask that if you feel led by God, would you join us in prayer and fasting?  So much more can be done for God's Kingdom through this avenue than any other.  The souls of men, women, and children are slipping through our fingers.....we want to be faithful in the Great Harvest time.  Reap with us through your prayers, fasting, and support.  "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."  Psalm 126:6

You may notice a lot of GOD'S, HIS, HE, HIM up above in the writing......it's because we truly do not feel that this work is the Fling's work in any way.  It's GOD'S work!  It is HE that leadeth us!  It will be done HIS way and will be about HIM.  What more can we ask than that HE goeth before us to Peru?!!!
