May-June 2011


Dear Praying Friends,

I hope you are enjoying this exceptionally warm summer.  I am very glad to inform you that our team is now complete.  Ten “hand-picked-by-God” families now make up the Peru Team.  How excited I am about this.  Each brings an excellent skill set of ministerial experience and ability.  Because of their faithfulness and yielded spirits to the Lord, I know the Lord will accomplish great things with them.

 

Since last month our schedules have been packed with events.  In June, FBMI had its missionary Candidate School.  The training was detailed and specialized, and the fellowship was as warm as the weather.  I enjoy watching the team members beginning to think, act, and unite as a team.  How obvious is God’s selection process to bring together a team that will do His work and will in a marvelous way.

From there, my wife and I slipped away for several days to celebrate our marriage of 10 years.  I cannot believe how the years have flown.  My wife still is the woman of my dreams and has only grown more beautiful.  We are best friends and still madly in love with each other.  (Excuse me a moment while I go give her a kiss!)  She has stood by my side for better and for worse, richer and poorer, in sickness and health.  We had a nice and relaxing time away.

Currently, we are home in Hammond.  Christy and I have had 8 saved in the last three weeks in personal soul winning and visitors to church, and last Sunday we helped start a Spanish Sunday school class.  We had 21 in attendance our first Sunday.  Keeping myself busy in the ministry, though, is making me long to be in Peru to realize our vision of winning souls and starting churches. 

Next month we will make the journey to Peru with the team to survey the land.  We will be looking for property, housing, and God’s will of where to focus our efforts.  Pray for souls to be saved and seeds to be planted.  A small group will leave on August 4 to prepare for the team’s arrival on the 9th.  We will all return on the 16th.  Pray for divine guidance and protection. 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  None of this would be possible without you.   I am moved with deep gratitude for the investment that you are making in us.  May God bless you richly.

For His glory,

Dan Hubbard
