NEWS LETTER: OCTOBER 2014

Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support went up to 61.0% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 100% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!

* On September 15th I shared at the weekly meeting of Christian Surfers of Peru. We continued our study on the book of Colossians.

* On September 19th I was invited to a Senior Pastors Meeting with Pastor Mark Balmer from Calvary Chapel Melbourne. I had a great time of refreshing edification alongside my co-laborers in the area.

* On October 1st, after three years of rocky biblical counseling, Alejandro and Peggy were united in civil matrimony in the courts of Plantation, FL. Their marriage will be blessed in our church on November 2nd.

* On October 16th my firstborn son, Sebastian, had an operation to enable him to breath through his nose. The operation had some complications, so he had to stay in the hospital for five nights… Please pray for a supernatural healing of the torn tissue inside his nose. Father, we lift this situation to Your throne of grace and ask that Your name be glorified with the work of Your hands in the nose of my son, Sebastian, and in the salvation of Dr. Percy..!
