Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 73.8% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 82.0% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On September 10th our Video Ministry was launched: vimeo.com/channels/ccmiraflores. Now the teaching ministry of our church is available on the internet… Father, may Your Word go forth and set many souls free--free to know You and love You with abandon!
* On September 14th a big group from our church went to the city of Ica for a Women's Conference at Calvary Chapel Ica. All the women returned excited about how the Spirit moved bringing further conviction and freedom from sin to many during that time. Thank you Tracy..!
* On September 17th I had a prayer meeting and a delightful time of fellowship with many of the Calvary Senior Pastors in the area and beyond. This meeting was possible as a courtesy of Calvary Chapel Pisco. Thank you, Pastor Marcos..!
* On September 21st through the 24th I traveled, along with Juan Alegre and Rodolfo Monzon, the other leaders of our church, to the cities of Cajabamba and Huamachuco. These are the cities previously visited by the first missionary trip from our church back on August that produced many new converts.
The purpose of this trip was to follow up with these new converts to figure out ways to disciple them. We are working to start remote extensions of our church in these cities as an effort to prepare the soil for future independent church plants.
* On September 25th our church joined Facebook. Check it out and befriend us here: Calvary Chapel Miraflores. This ministry has been made possible by Aileen Alegre, our newest missionary from Calvary's Bible College in Hungry… Yes, she is Juan and Sandra's daughter. They are blessed to have her here and so are we! Thank You, Lord.!!
* On October 10th we started our house hunt for the new location for our church and we may have found the perfect spot for our Sunday services, but is early to say… We still have until May 2013 to move out of our current location so we have time to save. However, if the church grows a tad more we would have to move sooner since we are almost full on Sundays… Father, please show us Your glory by providing abundantly for all the needs of Your church. Starting with sufficient faith for the Pastor to rest peacefully on Your faithfulness to provide.!!
