Dear Family and Friends,
Hello from Peru! We are doing great! God has blessed this trip in so many ways. Currently we are working in Lima with a great church. This church is really a house church/bible institute. They train pastors in bible study and I have since found out that they are pretty well known. They have a small congregation and they really have a heart to reach their area for Jesus but they have been lacking tools to use. So far we have been a real spark for them and many of them have come with us to help.
We are so excited because just around the corner from the church is a Journalism University where we have been doing a lot of evangelism and making friends. Two days ago there were 3 girls from the school... that can speak english... that decided to spend the whole day after their classes with us. They even helped translate for Shannon and Gloria (I think...). The 3 girls with our students witnessed to a friend of theirs and He got saved too. Then then all came with us for an evening outreach. Pretty much every time we go to the school those 3 girls get to learn more about Jesus!
Today and tomorrow are big days of evangelism for us and follow up. The MundoBus is having us come with them for their big event today and this evening we have a meeting at the church that we have been inviting people to. Tomorrow we have another event that is town wide... the mayor is busing in people from all around... and we get to be a part of it, there is also another service that we have been inviting people to.
The expectation for our remaining time is very high here because we will be able to really help the church with follow up and discipleship. Last night when we made the arrangements to stay here the pastor said that we should open up the house for the university students to hang out at during their break. Many of the students come from more than an hour away so they just hang out on the street... this could be a great opportunity to start and foster the discipleship here!!!
The church wants us to teach them all that we can...witnessing, discipleship, apologetics, follow up, ect...so we are really excited!
I hope that you like the short testimony videos I have been posting. (See them HERE). I really love getting them and posting them. I need to go and get ready for the next part of the day but please keep us in your prayers! God is working.
Blessings from Peru!

Our hearts are full as we hear what God is doing through our faithful team down south in Peru! Please continue to pray for them as they finish up their time in the country. They will be returning to Pittsburgh this coming Monday, June 20th. Keep watch for more updates on their adventures in the next couple of days.
Over and Out,
Tara
