Hubby had a fabulous day of ministry yesterday and I felt very honored to be serving him at home behind the scenes. John went to 3 different services (think 4 women and 25 kids). He left at 9 a.m. and returned at 6 p.m. I will let him blog about next Sunday's plan and his strategy for starting 3 churches in these 3 areas. One of the first services will be this Sunday in Tres Coronas (3 crowns) and the other 2 will just have Bible Studies. John is praying like crazy, trusting the Spirit and working very hard to get everything ready for next Sunday. He will be going out to the areas again on Wednesday and Thursday to invite people. Almost forgot, that 2 teenagers just stood up yesterday and said they wanted to have a relationship with Christ and accepted him as their Savior. God is definitely working, but there are a ton of strongholds in these areas:
drugs, alcohol, prostitution, robbery, incest and transvesites (just to name a few). The national spent a lot of time filling us in. These people are in desperate need of a purpose and a hope.

Something interesting.....A Peruvian woman was in our house the other day and she told me how freezing cold she was in my home. She also told me how I need to shut my windows because my children are going to get sick from being too cold. The windows are only open a few hours a day to let the air circulate and keep things dry so we don't get mold again.
Well, last night we had a Peruvian couple over for dinner and she told me that I keep the house to warm. She said I need to turn off the heater and open the windows because my kids are going to get sick from going from hot to cold (the cold being outside). I had the heater on so that she wouldn't say she was freezing like the previous lady. How funny!
So my kids are going to get sick if I keep the windows open and they will get sick if I have them closed and the heater is on. Looks like I can't win! Just had to laugh!!!!
AND THE ELEVATOR IS WORKING AGAIN!! ANOTHER YAHOOOO!

Great report on the ministry efforts. I had no idea that all of those "miseries" plagued the people that you are trying to reach. Extra special prayer tonight!
And on the hot/cold thing: my DR said that it isn't the transition from hot to cold that makes people sick. She did say, that wet feet very well may contribute somehow though! Go figure:-)
Does seem like a no win situation huh? I would just do whatever you could to keep the mold out. Mold in our family is what keeps our allergies, sickness and especially asthma at an extreme high! Praying for you girlfriend.
