Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 47.3% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 70.0% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On March 25th I had a get-together with a group of Calvary Chapel senior pastors in the area. I had a great time reconnecting with my co-laborers here in the Lima, Peru area. We were able to update each other with our prayer needs so we can do battle together.
Since our arrival the Spirit of God has been moving powerfully in our congregation through our Sunday studies of the grace of God seen in the book of Ephesians. It really has been a fresh Word from God that has reminded us, as Chuck Smith would say it, why grace changes everything… Thank You, Father, for Your never stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever love..!
