Here we are in February already. Amazing. With 2018 already in the making, we are very excited about this year and what the Lord has in store for us, and for you, and for Peru! I want to give you a few brief updates and then Rosa wants to share with all of you what she is sensing from the Lord during this season.

As you read this letter, Rosa and I are in Peru, in Cardonpata, beginning the church construction. We are also conducting more house-church meetings and the Holy Spirit istouching people’s lives tremendously. We will share more about that in our next newsletter so that you can rejoice with us in the goodness of God. Please do take a moment to pray right now for the Holy Spirit to draw men and women to JESUS CHRIST, that salvation would“spring up from the ground” everywhere we take the gospel. We also ask that you pray specifically for the construction process: we want smooth and steady progress, with no obstacles and no injuries. Thank you! Your prayers are not without effect.

My third and final request for prayer comes from my heart to see those initial two prayer requests fulfilled: we are in need for more funds to continue with the building of the church and orphanage. I ask for you to pray and ask the Lord what you can contribute to this work. With increased funds, we know that the construction can continue and that more salvations are eminent, because constructing in Cardonpata opens up a massive door of ministry to us in that area.

It enables us to truly reach the community, with day-in-and-day-out contact and life- transforming results. It really does matter that you pray for a supply of finances to comein…and that you ask the Lord how He wants to involve you in that process. He is so kind toinvolve us and reward us eternally (and in this life) for that which He could have done apart from us but invites us to be a part of as He supplies needs through us. It is not up to us todo His portion…He is well able to supply the money to you…but it is up to you tobe willing and to say “yes” to the invitation.
