July 14, 2012 Fantastic!

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 3:32 pm by Brenda Matthews

The Rochester team was here the first week of July.  To sum up their ministry time in one word: Fantastic! (or another synonym).  They started off in the Montessori school teaching English and getting to know the students and staff.  The top row of the collage shows what the school did for them (since they were here on the 4th of July) and the rest is of them interacting in the classrooms, teaching sports, and playing a soccer game.  I didn’t get photos of them in the homes making cupcakes for Saturday or sharing a meal on Sunday (or of their beach day).

They were also involved in ministries at Grau and on Saturday held simultaneous events for Piura Norte and Grau leading seminars and showing the movie To Save a Life (top photos).  Piura Norte also held the third Strengthening Relationships evangelistic event with the team support.  The attendance was disappointing, but the message was fantastic and there were new guests (bottom photos).

It has also been fantastic to have more help at Piura Norte.  Please pray for people to be motivated to take on responsibilities.  With all the new contacts to add to kids of Piura Norte families, we need workers to form an adolescent/youth ministry.  Please pray for the Lord to guide and bring that together.

This week one of the friends who has been faithfully attending one of the small groups called because she wanted to talk.  Long story short – she made Christ her Lord and Saviour!  That was Wednesday and today she took me with her to share with a friend of hers who needs the Lord.  That’s the kind of contagious growth that we need.

Thank you for your prayers as we started the church.  Please pray for growth and for direction as ministries are developed.

Grateful for your prayers and support,

Brenda
