Dear Praying Friends and Supporting Churches,
God is so good! We have just finished our last official meeting of deputation. We have spent the last two months traveling, presenting the work to Peru, soul winning, preaching, attending missions conferences, eating, and eating some more! We are very thankful to our heavenly Father for His watch care over us throughout all of our deputation travels. So far, our van has continued to hold up well despite the many miles we have put on it. Thankfully, we have all remained in good health, as well.
One of our meetings was in North Carolina with good friends Brian and Melissa Odham. After finishing canvassing for their church, we had just a few minutes left but didn’t want to go back early. Our son Logan, who is eight years old, and a boy from the church named Ronny, who was 10 years old, wanted to knock on the doors of houses in a cul-de-sac by themselves. While they were knocking on the doors, I saw a young man in a nice vehicle pull up to a nice house and decided to invite him to church.
He mentioned that he attended a Lutheran church faithfully, and it was like his second family. I asked him if he were sure he was going to Heaven, if he was saved, if he was born again. He said that he went to high school with a friend who is now a Baptist preacher, and all through high school his friend would ask him if he knew Jesus as his personal Saviour; but he wasn’t sure what that meant. I asked if he would like to know, and he excitedly said, “Yes!” A short time later, he gladly trusted Christ. He was so excited that he kept thanking me and had me post the picture on the internet. What a miracle to see your prayers opening hearts and doors before we arrive.
Please be in prayer for us as we wrap up our last couple of months in the States. We are planning to fly out on May 30 to begin our life’s work in Lima, Peru. This will be the first time the boys see Peru, so pray for their hearts to be ready. We will be looking at several places to live, vehicles, and making new connections. Through your prayers, God has worked and led amazingly so far, and we want to see this continue. Thank you for your sacrifice and faithfulness, which allow us to take His Gospel to
this country as we travel, to Lima as we start this work, and to the world as He continues to do great things. Please pray for the churches that have committed support to begin and remain faithful. There are churches still deciding about whether to join in support. Please pray, as this would help us near full support.
His for souls,
Zach, Karin, Zachary, Caleb, and Logan Foust
