Developments:
Last month our pledged monthly financial support remained at 48.7% of our budget; after adding one-time donations the Lord provided 100.0% of our budget—our Lord IS faithful..!
After a month fully packed with farewell get-togethers, planning, selling, packing and shipping we are now back in the USA. It is with bittersweetness that we left Peru, but we look forward with great expectation to the new chapter of our missionary ministry to the hispanic world—now in and from Central Florida.
We will be busy working on a hispanic church plant in the area of Orlando, FL—specifically in the city of Clermont. This church plant will be the new furnace where Bible studies will be produce, to feed the local sheep first, and then be placed on the internet to continue to reach the hispanic world with the freeing message of Christ’s inexhaustible grace to an exhausted world. The name of our new church plant and missionary ministry will be calvary chapel Eres AMADO, as in “You are unconditionally and eternally LOVED”—the essence of the gospel of the grace of God!
As we remain full-time committed to the work of missions and church planting in the hispanic world, we appreciate your continued financial support during this transition period and into the next chapter of our ministry. Until further notice, the process to collect donations remains the same.
Father, we are Yours—glorify Your name in us and through us..!
