Cesar and Esther are a Peruvian couple who are members of our church and their daughter Cristina joined us as a member after four months of attending our ladies' Bible studies and services. Please praise God for adding another member to our family church and that we continue growing in our love for God and striving for the edification of each other.

Luciana is a Peruvian lady who grew up in a Buddhist family. She came to visit our church, struggling between her beliefs in Buddhism and Christianity. Now after six months of spending time in the Scriptures, she is convinced that Jesus is the only real God and there is no other way to be reconciled with the Father apart from Him. Last week she shared that she understands the Gospel now, she understands how God see sinners, and the need to repent and believe. But she asked us to pray so that her faith would grow and that she would surrender her life to God. There are many Japanese-Peruvians influenced by Buddhism because of their family upbringing. Please pray so God will open their eyes and they will exchange a life of strong family traditions for a new life worshiping with passion our Lord Jesus.

Our son Lorien was born 2 months prematurely. He had complications in the incubator and he used to be fed through tubes through his nose to his stomach. These last six months God blessed us with many challenges that strengthened our faith in Him and our love and trust in His soverenity. We were going every month to the hospital for Lorien's check-up and medicine. Yesterday, after waiting for the last analysis of his blood and check up, the doctor told us that he was now normalized in all the issues that were a concern before! Please praise God with us for His grace and love! These months God reminded us that we do not deserve even to be alive, we do not deserve to breath or to be healthy, every day of good health and every breath is just the pure mercy, love, and grace of our God! All glory and gratitude to our precious and Almighty Savior!

Please pray so Luis can continue in sharing the Gospel of Jesus to the Buddhist apprentices, Hare Khrisna, Muslim, and Shinto students at his Japanese school. There are some debates and he is being critisiced because Luis stands sharing that there is only one God and only one truth and His name is Jesus. The students of Luis' Japanese school are from Nepal, Indonesia, China, and India.

Our non-Christian Japanese Bible study is constant and the Japanese attenders are asking more questions about the One God. Please pray so they understand the Gospel soon and God would change their hearts of stone for a new heart in the same way He did with us.

All the Glory to God,
Luis, Nicola, Rohan and Lorien
