Dear Brothers:

I was recently sick. During the days that I couldn't walk, the children that I have been working with came to my home. There I taught to them the Word of God, and now we are learning about His commandments, even though these children study in public schools with Catholic doctrines. Some of them are not coming because of their homework or for other reasons. Also they helped me and prayed for me at home.

When I was able to walk I went visiting, evangelizing the mothers of our Sunday school children. There I was able to talk with them and also encourage them, especially Mrs. Iris and her sister Paola.

I have also been:

-Encouraging children to not stay at home, but to come and hear the message.

-Visiting Mrs. Delia and her daughter Betsy who helped me at home, thanks to God.

-Visiting Belgica and her little sister.

-Encouraging Ruth and her children.

-Sharing the message of the Bible with Mirtha. On Sunday for the first time she sent her son Isaac with his grandmother.

-Inviting them to attend our services.

Please pray that every child and person who hears the message may understand, and that the Power and Mercy of God may work in their lives according to His will, because we just take the message that was given to us.

Sincerely,

Gloria M.

Beloved HeartCry Brothers:

We are persevering in that which God has given us. I am working in preaching, teaching and evangelism.

On Saturdays at 7:30 pm we begin with the youth group that we have. The attendance has been the same. Please pray for God to do in the youth what we hope, that is, to grow them and to lead them into service in the church. On Sunday mornings we visit some families to disciple them, together with a brother.

While at church we are working with the children, at noon we go out to evangelize in the market place. This gives us the opportunity to talk with people and share the gospel with them. We end the day with a meeting in the afternoon. The attendance at our services continues the same. We are trying to give weekly homework to the members with the purpose that our brothers tell us if they did them or not. Also, we have started a mobile library, with the purpose to help them with good Christian books.

We are getting everything ready for the baptism of three of our brothers, because they didn't get baptized due to their desire to be better prepared.

Also, we have the desire to go on a mission trip to Tarco, and we are waiting on God's timing to do all things. Besides this, I want to tell you that a church in Piura has invited me to share the Word of God with them next year. So, God willing we'll go if there is no problem.

Brothers, this is what God brought us during this time. Please pray for us.

Beloved Brothers in Christ,

Starting this month, on Friday the 2nd, Saturday the 3rd and Sunday the 4th, I traveled with the seminary students of Sullana to Paita, to the church of pastor Javier C., where we were evangelizing. Another group went to help in the Compassion project, which is in pastor Javier's church. It was a very beautiful time where I had the privilege to preach on two evenings, and once in Sunday school which was held in Arenal, a very nice place alongside the river. The purpose in meeting there was to baptize 5 brothers in the faith. In this way they gave public witness of their faith.

Also, in our church we continue preaching Christ. Because of a brother from our church an opportunity in a school to preach the gospel to the parents came up. Everything was ready, but I had to go to the hospital to take my daughter to the emergency room. However, the preaching wasn't stopped because my father, who is also our pastor, went and preached the word of God. After the event, the director talked to our brothers and asked them to again do something like this but just with the teachers of this school. May the glory be to God alone!

On Saturday July the 31st we had an evangelistic campaign planned for unbelievers. Our brothers invited many of their friends, and that day we had an attendance of 130 people. We gave away New Testaments to each one of the attendees, encouraging them to read the Bible in order to be wise, to believe in it in order to be saved, and to practice it in order to be holy. We have thought about doing this again, to gather many people to preach the gospel to them.

On July the 29th and Sunday the 1st of August, we attended to the 50th anniversary of the church where I was saved and grew up in the Lord: The "Divine Redeemer" Baptist Church. We attended with the brothers from our church, to have a time of praise, being edified and remembering the work of God in the north of our country; on the northern coast, mountains and jungle. These 50 years preaching the gospel are a challenge for the other churches. May God continue taking care of and blessing pastor Angel C. and his wife. We will continue announcing the message of God until our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comes.

On July the 12th to 16th the seminary students had their exams, finishing in this way a new theological module. We encouraged them to continue being prepared in the word of  God. I'm also very happy for the return of pastor Daniel and brother Ivan from their studies in the seminary in The Dominican Republic

For the next module in August we'll have new courses in the students curriculum.

Greetings My Beloved Brothers:

In the church, we continue teaching the word, and thanks to God there are brothers whose lives are changing and they are committing their lives to God to serve Him. We had many visitors at our church this month, and our brothers had the responsibility to share the gospel with them, because I had to travel to Cuzco for two weeks due to personal issues. Thanks to God they continued with the services and also visited the new people who visited us. Listening to their testimonies, they mentioned that it was a blessing, because they learned  to seek God more and wait on His promises.

We continue discipling our brothers, and continue very joyfully serving The Lord, in evangelism, discipleship, studying more of the word, and teaching to be faithful to The Lord.

The brothers in Monsefu are very happy because of what The Lord is doing in the life of each one of their family members, even though this month several of them had health problems. This didn't affect them in being faithful to The Lord, but strenghtened them. It was very interesting hearing this brothers give testimony of God, and they also thanked Him for what was happening and didn't complain about anything.

In regards to Christian, the young man who was visiting us, and who we saw that was growing in his disire to know more of  God, he had to travel to Lima for work. Our prayer is that he may continue to be faithful. Please also pray for him.

Sincerely,

Wehrner P.
