Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 61.0% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 84.4% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* From November 16th through the 30th Karla, the kids and I went on a road trip to the area of Cajamarca where we had the opportunity to spend some time with John and Pilar Bonner in the Calvary Chapel Bible College Peru and with the Alegre’s in Calvary Chapel Cajabamba.
* On November 19th I had the opportunity to share the Word of God at the mid-week service of Calvary Chapel Cajamarca.
* On November 20th my wife, Karla, shared with the women in the Bible College.
* On November 21st I had the privilege of being the keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony of the Calvary Chapel Bible College Peru in Cajamarca. We spent a week in the Bible College and it was truly a blessing to witness firsthand the work that the Spirit of God is doing in and through this ministry. Later, after praying it through with my wife, I made myself available to John Bonner to serve with my family for a couple of weeks in the months of August. John Bonner has asked me to teach a two-week course and I have accepted.
We are also planning on getting our church involved in helping this ministry with mission trips during our yearly stays in the College to serve the College and the churches in the area.
With the new addition to our family that we are expecting to arrive in April we will be forced to upgrade the family vehicle to one able to mobilize a family of six… Please pray for God to provide a reliable vehicle that we could use to take the 15-hour trip to the mountains of Cajamarca every year to partner with this ministry. On our last trip the automatic transmission of our current car ended up needing to $350 in repairs.
* On December 10th I had an encouraging time of koinonia having lunch with a group leaders from Calvary Chapel Downey and other local Calvary Chapel pastors at Gracia CC.
