Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 29.9% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 84.8% of our budget—our Lord will be proven faithful..!
* On July 20th I shared at the weekly meeting of Christian Surfers of Peru. We spent some time in Proverbs 5.
* On July 24th my family and I traveled to Cajamarca to serve at the Calvary Chapel Bible College Peru for two weeks. During that time we all participated in the daily activities of the college while I served the students by teaching a class called NT383: Galatians, Philippians & Colossians. We had a wonderful time of service and fellowship with students and staff alike. Teaching at the Bible College was an activity that we all loved and can see ourselves doing more often in the future.
* On August 14th Karla and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. Father, thank You for my wife and pray You continue to bless our marriage by doing Your work of love in us..!
* On August 16th we had our bimonthly Servants’ Meeting were we had a opportunity to regroup, share what the Lord had done with us and through us in Cajamarca and to set serving goals for our congregation in the near future. Among these goals were to partner with the Calvary Kids Ministry of Ventanilla & Pachacutec lead by pastor Raul Cervera to send missions teams to help in an ongoing basis and to assist Calvary Chapel Huacho during its pastor’s furlough time in September. We are strongly sensing God’s directive to selflessness by pouring into the development of other ministries.
