Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I wish you greetings and many blessings in your home and ministry. With regard to the church plants, I traveled to the Bombonajillo neighborhood of Santa Rosa on the 25th of February where Pastor Guadalupe M. serves. In the afternoon we had a meeting for the pastors where we decided to start to visit the churches that are farthest away. We also planned the conference that we’ll be having in June in Nuevo Tarapoto.
On the 7th of March I traveled to the city of Tarapoto. I went to the hospital to visit Mr. Isidro S. who is the husband of a sister in Christ in Lima. He has always rejected the gospel but I witnessed to him anyway. He can’t talk anymore and is being fed with tubes. When I asked him questions he indicated that he was receiving the message but only God knows if he was converted.
On the 12th of March I traveled to the distant town of Nuevo Mundo. At the request of a brother in Christ, I went with a group of brethren and we shared the gospel. There was a woman who was very upset and disappointed because of some Pentecostals that had tried to destroy her home and were about to make her separate from her husband. We counseled her with the Bible and she has now gone back to her husband.
On the 14th of March we visited a brother in Christ who had been in an accident. Some time back he had caused some problems by promoting a superficial gospel but since we started teaching him the true gospel he has changed for good and is now one of the faithful brothers in Christ in the church.
On the 17th of March we visited Brother Quimenson in a town called La Libertad. He fell off of a motorcycle and injured his left leg. This brother has also come to understand the gospel more clearly.
As far as the church in San Rafael, we are studying the Biblical Study Book that brother Paul Washer put together. We marvel at the effect that these teachings have. Our intention is that all of the churches from the association use this material.
May God bless you all and keep you!
Your brother in Christ,
Arturo M.
