Matucana, Peru Trip September 09

Here it is Monday night. We are already half way through our time here...it is hard to believe. I can tell you all of us here have mentioned many times about feeling the prayers of the people back home...for that Thank you...but keep praying. It was a little crazy driving here, especially driving in Lima. That is quiet the experience. We had a team effort and made it safe and sound. When we arrived it was very apparent from the start that Chelsea and the others who came before made a great impression on the people of Matucana. When they saw Chelsea their faces lit up and so did Chelsea's. Chelsea took Kurt and I to see a lady by the name of Rosa. A very nice lady and she had a nice smile and just a good spirit about her. Chelsea led the conversation but we all played a part and by the end of the conversation she prayed and accepted Jesus in her heart. It was awesome and clearly hearing from Chelsea that was the fruit of alot of people before us talking and sharing the gospel with her. God's timing but our week was off and we were excited more than ever. We have a great team, the people from Alabama are just awesome and it is clear they love Jesus. We all have had divine meetings that God has allowed us to share his word and plant the seed...who knows there may be another Rosa out there. Please keep praying we have some meetings with the schools and some Bible studies scheduled later this week. We have a baptism on Wednesday... we just ask that God's will be done and that He does a work in us and the people here. God Bless.

  1. We were so excited to hear about Rosa's decision! It was all in God's timing. We've been sharing the e-mail from Chelsea with everyone; it got read in S.S. and in church Sunday morning. Thanks so much for letting us know. We're praying for all of you including David's team. Expect God to be HUGE there in Matucana and Marachanca this week!

  4. Great to hear from you, finally! I was wondering if you would continue on this blog site. I'm sure that was an exhilerating experience with Rosa, especially for Chelsea! Keep up the great work! Barry
