Dear brothers,
May the peace of God be with you in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
In February, we had a HeartCry Conference, having as expositors, pastor Martin Zacarias and pastor Brad White, both expositions from the books of Mark and 1 Timothy, have been a blessing to my life
For several weeks, 6 new people have been attending our services regularly. These are the names of some of them, so please pray for them: Janet and her children, and Yemo, Berta and her daughter. Please pray for them to continue coming and the Lord to save them.
On May 19th I have been invited to share the Word of God for about two weeks in the city of Chiclayo, at two Baptist Churches. In February I was also invited to preach God's Word to two Baptist Churches, in Palmas Reales and San Pablo. We are sure as always that the Word of God shall not return unto Him void.
Please pray for all of us,
Victor M.

Dear brothers:
I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whom we serve with joy in our hearts, wishing you may have the richest blessings in your lives, families and Christian Ministries.
During this month I've been working in my pastoral duties, visiting and counseling brothers and families who requested it. Also we've been working in giving responsibilities to the deacons and teachers of our church. We have presented these proposals in our church's annual business meeting and also the association for our prison ministry chose its board of directors.
Also we have begun discipling our brothers who came out from other churches and are attending ours, therefore avoiding doctrinal confussions. We had on February 23rd through the 26th our conference, with Pastors Zacarias and White as teachers.
Another important thing is that our brother Pablito Chinchay got married with Mayita at our church.
In regards to the prison ministry, even though we can't get our ID to enter into the prison yet, because the person who is in charge of this is on vacation, we are entering with our old ID. Thanks to God because we can continue normally with the ministry that we are doing in this prison. Please pray for our Lord Jesus Christ to continue blessing and taking care of this ministry as always.
We are very encouraged to see the enthusiasm shown in the inmates with the spiritual work that we are doing with them, and the result of all this is that they are showing evidence of conversion despite of the circumstances in which they are involved. Please pray for them as well.
Thanks for everything and I wish the richest blessings of our God and Lord Jesus Christ for you.
Your brother in Christ,
Rogelio A. |

In regards to my ministry and church in which I serve, I continue in a steady work by the grace of God, always making the effort in instructing the saints to continue proclaiming His glorious gospel. As I have shared with you before, we have started to study the Doctrine of God and His grace toward us. To some, this has caused them to begin to marvel at God for who He is. For others, because of their lack of understanding, they have been confronted with these blessed truths and have had a hard time accepting them.
I'm personally committed to continue forward with this purpose for in its right time our God, in His grace, will allow us to glorify Him as he deserves to be glorified. In the meantime we continue going out to evangelize as a small group of brothers, open air preaching on Sunday afternoons here in our district. Even though we haven't seen many people coming to Christ, we continue trusting that in the right time God will show His fruits for His own honor.
Also it is natural in God's people to have some brothers who are going through trials. Please pray for one of our sisters whose name is Nayu who has some judicial problems for the custody of one of her younger sons.
To conclude, dear brothers, please pray for this church, to continue being faithful and constant in the work of our God.
Sincerely,
Carlos M. |

Blessed be our God who continues opening doors for the preaching of His glorious gospel. Recently I have received an invitation from the leadership of my Home Church (the church that sponsors our mission), to gather with them every month and help them with teachings on biblical evangelism. The church has confirmed me as the only missionary that it will support for this year 2010.
Apart from that, in the church where I'm pastoring, we continue gathering in Pena family's home in the Santa Rosa neighborhood. Every Sunday we have a time where we study the Bible. This is apart from our regular services which are in our brother Florencio's home, in the Valle de Gocen neighborhood. It is in this neighborhood that we'll be organizing an evangelistic event on March 13th and 14th.
We are having a better communion with our brothers of the church. There is a true feeling of unity, due to our submission to The Scriptures. In our regular services we have a brief time of singing and then we preach for about an hour. After that our brothers continue asking questions and we stay one or two hours more. On February 28th we celebrated in memory of Christ and with much joy the Lord's Supper.
On February 14th we had the opening of our youth meeting. We had the aid of the youth from the Baptist Church El Buen Pastor, which is pastored by our brother Gustavo R. By God's grace there was an attendance of 50 people, who heard the gospel. It was a very special time and now, God willing, we will visit his congregation to continue our fellowship as brothers in Christ.
We are so thankful to God for your support, with offerings that monthly we receive from you. We thank God for the conferences in February in Barranco which have helped me in my personal, family and ministerial life in a great way.
In Christ,
Miguel Sa. |

Dear brothers:
In these last weeks we had hurricane like winds which made our neighbor's house and a sister's house fall to the ground, and several other houses were damaged. My children were very frightened. Well, this is because of all the weather changes. The flood warnings for our area continue. My wife is still encouraged after having been scared, and we give thanks to God who protects us from many disasters which are more dangerous, like in other countries.
In regards to the church, our brothers lost their harvests and animals and we are helping them in some ways to face this problem. The cost of living has risen because the products which are produced here are scarce because of the flooding. However, for us this is an excellent opportunity to be united and help the most needy people. In regards to evangelism we are taking more time to talk with people who tell us that they superficially that have accepted Christ. In this way we are hoping to avoid some mistakes that we made in the past in teaching an unbiblical view of assurance.
In regards to the churches in El Biavo, this March 27th we'll have a pastors' meeting. They are very encouraged but at the same time we are having less problems with the pastors than with the people who are in the congregations. Many of them, who are still unconverted, don't want to accept the things that they are being taught from the Word. Also some of the pastors' families don't want to accept these things either. Some of these people get mad with us and offensive. It is very important to obey the Holy Scriptures rather than the forms or models which we learned in the past, especially in the area of shallow evangelism. We have advanced a lot due to the teachings received in the conferences.
Personally I am reading the whole Bible again. I am also confronted and edified with the books that brother Brad White brought. I already read "God is the Gospel" (John Piper), "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" (Mark Dever), and I'm starting with "Evidences of a True Believer". All of these books are helping me a lot, with my family and ministry as well.
Thank you for your prayers and for the monthly support that you send us every month. Thanks also for the blessing in having the conferences, our next conference will be, God willing, in Nuevo Progreso, the Biavo area.
God Bless You,
Arturo M. |
