We are waiting with enthusiasm and excitement the arrival of Juan and Sandra Alegre on March 6th. They are coming as missionaries from Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale to help us for a year with the ministry here in Miraflores-Lima, Peru. We thank and praise the Lord as we are blessed with the help He’s sending our way as an answer to your prayers. Thank you, prayer warriors. Truly the Lord is GOOD..!
