Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 81.4% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 97.8% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On February 18th after a lot of hesitation on my part I clearly heard God's leading, specially since my recent trip to Venezuela, for myself to join the Facebook personally. Since then I've seen the Lord use this venue to establish myself as the goto person for spiritual matters of many of my old-time friends that live in Venezuela and all around the world. I've been posting my teachings in there and pray the Lord would use them in the redemption and edification of many.
* On February 27th my youngest boy, Samuelito, participated on his first swimming competition. He won a silver medal--his first swimming medal.
* On March 1st and until the 5th I traveled with my right hand in the church, Rodolfo Monzon, to the towns of Cajabamba and Huamachuco. There we ministered to the satellite churches we've been feeding Bible teachings via our Video Ministry.
Praise Reports:
* The moving expenses we had when we moved to our new home back in May are now paid in full.
* Our landlord is going to be able to renew our church lease for another year, so we are no longer forced to move out by the end of May 2013.
* Without being able to go into details, I can report that the Lord has been doing miracles on a couple of marriages in our church.
Prayer Needs:
* For a fresh and empowering view of God, that we may learn to see His goodness in all places and in all things, and that His will be done in our lives.
* For our marriage, our devotional lives, and for our kids to continue to grow in their desire to know the Lord.
* Against burnout on my part.
* For God's provision for expenses related to our furlough back to the States scheduled for September-October of this year.
* For God's leading and provision on expanding the church.
* For a downpour of spiritual realities and an intense hunger for God in the hearts of everyone in the church, including our children and our youth.
* For the healing hand of God on the marriages of our church.
* For the development of male leadership in our church.
* For the development of healthy relational discipleship groups where our congregation truly comes to know and grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
* For our recently launched Video Ministry and Church Facebook to reach many with the Word of God.
* For the Lord to strengthen and develop godly homeschooling here in Peru.
* For the salvation of the people of the Club Terrazas Swimming Team and beyond.
* For Divine guidance and blessing as we seek to make disciples in the peruvian cities of Cajabamba, Huamachuco and Pachacutec, as well as in Caracas, Venezuela. Also for God to raise up local pastors for these locations that are of one mind with the vision of CC Miraflores.
* For our monthly financial support to go back to 100% of our budget.
Thank you for holding us up through your love and faithful work of intercession..!
In His love,
