Medical Clinic at Sector 3 Church

These are pictures from the medical clinic the team held last week at the Sector 3 church in San Juan de Lurigancho. They had general medicine, dental, and vision clinics. Unfortunately, Alex and I were so busy, we didn't get to take many pictures. The team saw 160 patients the first day and 290 patients on the second day! They worked incredibly efficiently and with great love and care for each person! Well done, faithful servants of the Lord!

Nov-08 Women's Conference

God inspired the theme in me "A Way to Peace" a month or so before we held this conference, but I really didn't know why. I didn't think I was going to do more than introduce the other speakers because I didn't have anything to say. Then the night before the conference (during the men's conference night), He led me to this scripture in Matthew and told me what the women battle most is their own minds! God tells us not to worry, and if we do, we are in fact sinning! I struggle greatly in the battlefield of my mind, so it's something I had personal experience with and can empathize with these women. I told them there are three things we must do: First, we must repent and confess our sin of worrying to the Lord. Second, we must seek first His kingdom--meaning we must spend time with Him, read the Word, worship Him, and put Him first above all else in our lives. And third, we must trust that He will "give" us all that we need, as the scripture says. We don't have to earn the things we need; we don't have strive for them; we don't have to wonder if we are enough or if we do enough. Jesus says we ARE ENOUGH in Him! And so in front of them all, I got down on my knees, confessed my sin of worrying to the Lord, and told Him I wanted Him to consume my thoughts, my feelings and my life! I told Him I wanted lasting change for myself and for all the women there that night. And when I stood up and invited them to come forward for prayer with the team to do the same, they leapt from their chairs and rushed forward! Nearly every woman came forward. There wasn't a dry eye left! Praise God that He loves us and meets all our needs!

Nov-08 Missions Team Photos

This is the team in their new hats (I forgot again what they're called in Spanish) just before they flew back to the U.S. They are an awesome and joyful bunch of people whom we love dearly!






These are pictures of the Medical Clinic that the team held last week; they saw about 450 patients in just two days! That's a record!







These are pictures of the Peruvian Home Makeover described in our newsletter below. I'm hoping that some friends of ours will send us a few more than we were able to get of the rest of the house.
