Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support dropped to 56.5% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 96.7% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!
* On February 16th I shared at the weekly meeting of Christian Surfers of Peru. We spent some time in Acts 16.
* On February 19th we received notice that my mom’s malign mole was removed in time, so she is cancer free. Thank You, Father.!!
* On February 23rd the doctor checked Adrian’s heart and it showed a more steady heartbeat… We are praying for fully clean heartbeat by the time he’s born—anytime after the March 19th.
* On February 28th we felt the Winds of Change… After five years of ministry on our location in Larco we surrendered it. We have been having our Sunday services at the Club Empresarial in San Isidro and will now have all our other activities in houses. We are looking more like the church of the book of Acts.
* On March 1st we had our first Sunday service with live worship led by our very own Mingo Casaretto. That day we also had our bimonthly Servants Meeting. Father, raise the leadership of our church that everyone would be actively involved in the work of the ministry.!!
* On March 3rd we had our first Prayer Meeting at the Monzón family’s house… The more intimate setting was conducive for a downpour of the Holy Spirit.
* On March 5th a new Women’s Group was born led and hosted by Judith Espinoza at her house.
