Greetings,

We give thanks to the Lord because He has sustained us so far and He has been faithful to His covenant, fulfilling all that he had promised to those whom he has saved by grace.

As you already know, the development of the online discipleship program continues to go well. More and more believers sign up for these lessons, expressing their gratitude for having access to the material and giving thanks to the Lord for giving them an opportunity to know Him more. It is a blessing to see how many of these believers who are already working on the lessons have great joy and contentment in the Scriptures and they recognize that the Word is what is instructing them.

Likewise, I continue teaching the discipleship classes on Sundays with Brother Eder. He has finished with lesson 12 and we are now lesson 13 where we are seeing the purposes that we have as Christians.

On Thursdays I have been teaching from the book of Psalms. This time I had an opportunity to teach on Psalm 2, where we saw the manifestation of the exaltation of Christ in His resurrection in order to demonstrate that He is truly God and the Son of God.

Thanks be to the Lord that the teaching also continues strong for the young people’s meetings. We are now studying the letter of Philippians together with Brothers Walter and Eder. We have been looking at the section where the Apostle speaks to and greets the overseers and deacons. My teaching was based on the stipulations that the Scripture gives for everyone who desires the office of overseer (or “bishop”) or that of deacon. This will help a lot since we know that there are surely many young men here at the academy who have the calling of the Lord to serve Him in ministry and this way they can be endeavoring to make manifest those requirements in their lives.

About two months ago a couple came to the congregation along with another young man from a different congregation. The Lord opened their eyes and now they are wanting to know more of the Scriptures. I am teaching the discipleship class on Saturdays with them. Their names are Alejandra and Jorge and the young man’s name is Julio. I ask for your prayers for them, that the Lord would guide them to more knowledge, but also please pray for Alejandra, since she has a muscular disease. Pray that if it’s the Lord’s will that He would heal her or that He might give her the strength to be patient even with her infirmity.

I went along with Pastor Martin to Iquitos in the Loreto Department of Peru to teach on the gospel. The Iglesia Evangélica Bautista Maranatha (Maranatha Evangelical Baptist Church) had invited us for their anniversary. We went to preach and to teach about the gospel.

Likewise we have been at the congregation that Rogelio G. pastors with Brother Mario. We also went there to teach on the scriptures. We would also like to ask for your prayer for them, that they would continue in the faith in the midst of a people burdened with iniquity and in the midst of all of those who oppose Scriptural truth.

We would also like to ask for your prayers to the saints here in Lima, Peru. We are coming along well with the Ministerial Academy but please pray for it. Also pray that the Lord would sustain us and keep us and give us light about scriptural truths, that he might help the students to be attentive and that He might give wisdom to those who will be teaching the classes.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with each one of you all.
