Dear Pastors and Praying Friends,
Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. We have just arrived in Lima
within the last week. It has been so exciting for us to see God’s hand in all that has been accomplished so far. What a miracle to see God moving. Our flight with the children went well; thank you for your prayers. Although it took all night and we had to reclaim our baggage and pass customs in Mexico City unexpectedly, we made it through with all of the children and only lost one large suitcase!
We have been very busy with the sometimes frustrating task of business in a third-world country. We have been blessed to find secure housing in an incredibly beautiful area for less cost than we had hoped. We have also found the kind of vehicles we wanted for much less than we thought we’d pay. During one of our housing appointments, the landlady mentioned that she and a group of twenty-two friends started an organization to take coats to the mountains for children in need. When I began to tell her of our plans in Peru, she asked if we could train those in her organization to help the children long-term and not just meet the temporary physical need. We excitedly look forward to the opportunity to train workers to satisfy an eternal need!
Karin and the boys had been practicing their Spanish in anticipation of our arrival in Peru. It’s been exciting to watch my wife and kids as they venture into Peruvian society. The people here have been very patient as we learn the culture. This has been so helpful as my family breaks the communication barrier. The people here love it when a cute little blonde kid comes up and in Spanish asks how much something costs.
Praise the Lord that we have had the opportunity to see people saved this month in
personal soul winning, as well as under the preaching. It has been so obvious to us in all that we do that you are faithfully praying. As a special favor, I would ask that you pray for the housing situation for nine families and the health and strength of our team leader, Bro. Dan Hubbard.
Today I accompanied Bro. Hubbard to the airport so that he could go home to get his
family. While there, I was surprised to discover that they had our lost suitcase there in storage!
His for souls,
Zachary and Karin Foust, Zachary, C.J., and Logan
