Chau, Peru. Hola, el Proximo Paso.


It's been exactly a week to the day that I left Peru. To sum up my whole semester Peru because to try to explain it would not do the whole experience justice. The Lord had me there for good reasons though it was hard in certain circumstances I truly believe He did a work in a through me. Not only was this semester special because being in Peru but also because it was my last semester. I doubt I will have the chance ever again to sit under the teaching of the word every day of the week as I had had the opportunity to do so in the past four semesters of Bible college. I have learned so much, yet know that I have so much to learn. I am so thankful for the provision that the Lord has given to me to be able to study the Word so freely. Now continues life and life that I must learn to be more disciplined to make time for the Lord being that the pressures of urgent worries of this world might try to crowd out. Our growth and walk with the Lord should never stop even after two years of intense study in the Word. We should all continue to seek our Lord Jesus Christ as that precious jewel because to give up we would certainly be fools

Graduates in Peru 2010



It has actually been a whole week and a half since the actual event, but it was great. The Lord has definitely blessed the campus and church in Lima, Peru. This semester was the first semester that the Peruvian intern full-time students (they are funded by churches in the states to go through the Bible college in order that they might be better equipped to minister in their ministries in different areas in Peru) graduated in the accelerated Bible college program. We all had an awesome time. We helped the with leading worship. It truly was an honor for me to spend a whole semester with some awesome brothers and sisters in the Lord this past semester. The Lord has been good.

Almuerzo Con Mi Amiga






This is Pamela she has been helping out with leading worship for the woman's Bible studies on Tuesday mornings and the young adults group on Saturday evenings. I have been recently teaching her a few things on the guitar every Friday since the beginning of April and she recently has invited me over last Wednesday and this Wednesday to her house for lunch (last Wednesday we had arroz con pollo). We have had awesome conversations though the language barrier is there. I do my best with what I can understand in Spanish and try to respond in Spanish all the time. It has been really helpful for me in practicing my Spanish. Parents are lovely people who are trusting in the Lord. They have seen hard times in that their son two years ago died in a car accident. They have been faithfully coming the CC Lima for awhile. It is good to see the strength of the Lord in them.

Jesus Loves the Little Children





The children's ministry in CC Lima had a celebration for the kids who had their birthdays in March and April and May this year so we had a teaching and then had cake and Inca Cola. It was good.
