Dear friends and brothers, this is the news I have for you. I delayed a bit, but here they are. All this is done with the support you give us. God give you the reward according to the mercy and love you have for people in the jungle of Peru.
Preaching the Gospel at the boats and delivery of leaflets to people.
Pastor Evelio and I preach the gospel of Jesus and handed out leaflets in the boat that took us to San Roque. We did this both to go and upon return. We talked to people about Jesus Christ and encourage them to believe in him. Many had expressed interest in the word of God. We saw read the booklet/brochure that we give them. We trust the word of God will bear fruit in time. Our preaching affirmed the faith of believers in the boat. We were pleased to see them read the Bible during the trip.

San Roque Ministry - Anniversary Gift of God Church
In San Roque visited the pastor Roberto Manihuari and the brothers he ministers. The church of this village was celebrating its anniversary. This church has 52 years of existence. God has kept and preserved to this church all these years! We rejoice in preaching the word of God to our brothers. We gave them encouragement and we encourage them to faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor Robert is one of our students and his ministry is important in that area. He is about to complete the courses we teach. Lord willing, next year it will be his final year and then it will be his graduation

Erosion and Relocation of San Roque housing.
I was impressed how the Ucayali river erodes and makes the forest people to relocate. San Roque has changed locations many times. I visited San Roque in January this year, on my return in June; the river had forced people to change the location of their homes. Thankfully, the river "alerts" and no loss of life. But the economic damage is great for the people of San Roque. This time, the people who were affected have been many of our brothers in Christ who have had to go elsewhere. The local church also will be relocated. The brothers testified that is not the first time this occurs. They are already "accustomed" to this phenomenon.

Visit and ministry in Montevideo - Weddings and baptisms.
Montevideo - Ucayali River. This town we travel for the first time. We preach the gospel and encourage the brethren to be faithful to the Lord. The town is small, and the congregation of believers is so much more. This town had the privilege of ministering to formalize marriage of three couples. These couples were living together for many years, but by accepting Jesus understood that they should fix that situation. After regularize their marital status, and testified they were baptized and their determination to follow Jesus Christ. It was a blessing to see them testify of their faith through baptism!

Ministry in Requena - Training
This time we teach An Overview of the New Testament and how to prepare biblical messages. Pastor Evelio and I had a total of 20 students. This was the first time we have taught in the month of June. The weather was cool. We had the standard heat of the jungle. Although the weather is good on that date but it is not appropriate for students because it is time to plant/sow. That's why several of our students could not reach/make it. This time, we implemented Growth Conference for all the brothers of the church. We made the conference on the evening. The brothers of the church participated enthusiastically cheered. God willing will continue in November with the conferences of growth. We are happy that now we are going to teach the brethren of the churches.

Actions for the month of November 2011 in Requena.
God willing, our next visit to Requena will be in November, from 22 to 29 November. The plan for this visit is this:
1. Teach Biblical Doctrine and Bible Study Methods and Rules of Interpretation.
2. Spiritual Growth Conferences to the brothers of Requena and surrounding churches.
3. Plan another graduation of students from our Training Center.
4. Evaluate the training center next to the Directive and make new plans for it.
I ask your prayers for this new journey. Pastor Evelio, the directive of the center and I are very excited and we intend to give new impetus to our ministry in Requena and surrounding areas.
Thank you very much for your prayers and appreciation for us who are in Peru.
Sincerely.
