Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 47.3% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 69.2% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On March 17th I was invited to share at the weekly meeting of Christian Surfers of Peru. It was a blessing to witness the Spirit of God move powerfully in our midst. After my visit I was led to commit to visit them one a month. I was allotted to share on the third monday of every month.
We are praying about starting a new Sunday afternoon service with the idea of reaching surfers and others that this schedule would better appeal to.
* On March 29th I was invited to an interview with pastor Vic Batista from Calvary Chapel Aventura at their radio station ministry Truth Wave. It was also a blessing to witness the Spirit of God move powerfully through us during the interview. I’ve been asked to be a regular guest and possible co-host their Pastors Perspective Program & The House of Prayer program in Spanish.
Thank You, Father, for allowing us to serve You and for using our feeble efforts to further Your kingdom of light in this world that so desperately needs You… Thank You for loving us with Your never stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever love..!
