Update from Peru

"Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Eph3:20-21

John called the church today with the following updates:

On Monday night John taught ESL to some University professors. They had to stop the session because the lights went out.

On Tuesday night they led a Bible study and had 20 in attendance, including children.

Tonight John will again teach ESL to the University professors. He asks for prayer that he will be effective. He believes one of the professors made a profession of faith last night.

On Friday night they will lead another Bible Study.

On Saturday John and Olga will participate in the wedding ceremony of Oscar and Carmen. Oscar is the hotel manager. The Salazar’s led Oscar and Carmen to the Lord last week. In the process of talking with them about their commitment to Christ Oscar and Carmen made the decision to officially marry. John and Olga are excited and he shared about their plans to get a wedding cake and rings for the ceremony.

On July 29 the Salazar’s will travel to another village and share their testimony before returning to Lima to make their way back to the US.

Thus far there have been 5 known professions of faith, including Oscar and Carmen. They have discovered other believers, more than they anticipated. They ask for our continued prayers as they lead the Bible study and witness each day.

Their health has been good but going up and down the mountains has been a little rough on Olga. John said it is very cold there. They send a “howdy” to everyone and look forward to being home soon.
