During the days that have passed since my last update, I have preached the Word of God and promoted the call to ministry in 7 churches, and taught Interpretation of the Bible to church workers that is next to my house and workers of the Requena city and surroundings. I have also started teaching at the Baptist Seminary of Peru and I have developed my role as Director of Public Relations.
Of the 7 churches that ministered two are in Trujillo, three in Lima and two in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Beside of preaching the Word of God, I introduced to those churches our ministry of training leaders at Baptist Seminary of Peru. I talked with pastors and people with desire to be prepared at our Seminary. In Ecuador, there were a couple and a young woman who expressed this interest. In Lima, a 16-year-old girl also expressed interest. There were others who showed 'something' of interest. We will see what God does in them. Jesus commanded, "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest" (Matthew 9:38). We have to obey and continue praying for this need. May more people respond positively to the call to serve God's work.
The leadership training I am doing at Roca Fuerte (Strong rock) Church (which is next to my house) is very important. I want this church to be strong and have a good ministry in my neighborhood, so I am helping. Pray for that, please.
As is usual for several years ago, I went to Requena to train workers. This time I traveled with my wife, and Pastor Walter Espinoza and his wife who is a doctor. Pastor Espinoza and I worked preparing workers. He taught the book of Colossians to a group of 7 workers. I taught Principles and Methods of Interpretation of the Bible to 19 workers. Dr. Mericia Espinoza checked more than one hundred patients. They were also given medication and it was my wife who helped with this. It is always a blessing to go to Requena to serve our brothers in Christ. This time, the blessing was greater because they were provided with medical aid and medicines. I thank God for those who prayed and gave for our ministry there.
My ministry at Baptist Seminary of Peru continues. I am teaching “Life of Christ” to the sophomores, who are thirteen. I am reaching my goals as Director of Public Relations. Lord willing, in May, the Seminary will visit 22 churches. I'm happy that pastors and churches are always supporting our ministry. Students going to churches to serve is very important, and churches which invite Seminary groups do a great work by giving them the opportunity to minister and learn on-the-job.
Thanks for taking time to read, watch photos and pray for the ministry that I do for God.
With appreciation and brotherhood,
