Developments:
* Last month our financial support, pledged plus one-time offerings, dropped to 89.0% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On June 17th we had a movie night at the church; we watched Amazing Grace.
* On June 19th we had a Father's Day Celebration at the church with the participation of some of the children in our congregation.
* On June 21st our kids and their friends from our congregation that follow the US school year had an End-of-School-Year Celebration at their house.
* On June 24th Karla and I took a quick getaway trip to Trujillo, a costal city about a 7-hour bus trip north of Lima. We had an opportunity to visit Chicama, a surfing beach that has the largest waves in the world, as well as, the ruins of the temple of the Lady of Cao, the only known female ruler in Peruvian ancient history.
* On July 1st most of the Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting Ministry members took Karla and me on a Pastor's Day Celebration on a local restaurant. It reminded me of the saying "those who pray together stay together".
* This month we received an offering from a family of generous friends/supporters to pay for our plane tickets to go back home on furlough! After much prayer we sense God leading us to go back home on furlough from October to November. We have places to stay, but we will need transportation--please keep this prayer.
