NEWS LETTER: DECEMBER 2012

Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 72.8% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 100% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!

* On November 15th we started a Marriage Class based on Pastor Steve and Roz Turner's marriage class that we were blessed to attend back in the States.

* On November 25th Calvary Chapel Cajabamba, our first pre-church plant, started with the help of our Juan Alegre and a missions team from Calvary Chapel Bible College Peru in Cajamarca. 

* On December 1st Calvary Chapel Huamachuco, our second pre-church plant, also started with the help of our Juan Alegre and a missions team from Calvary Chapel Bible College Peru in Cajamarca. Father, let Your glory shine; lift up Your countenance and grant them Your peace!

* On December 8th almost our whole church family went to the countryside hills of Chaclacayo where we had a Koinonia Day and, more significantly, 8 baptisms… Yes, I had the privilege to baptize onto Christ Jesus 8 God-hungry souls, including my first-born, Sebastian! Gracious Father, we beseech Your loving nature to meet the obedience to Your Word of these 8 souls. That You would grant them to know the forgiveness of their sins and that You would endue them with power from above to know and do Your will until that awesome Day of Jesus Christ! (Acts 2:38)

Prayer Needs:
