Dear Praying Friends,
A lady approached one the ladies on Team Peru before our Wednesday night service and asked, “Is this THE church? The Baptist Church? The church everyone is talking about?” Well, “Amen” to that! We have been seeing the hand of God moving mightily on
behalf of Team Peru.
We’ve had a jam-packed, busy time since the wheels of our airplane touched down! We’ve been going day and night working to transition and settle five of our nine team families. It has been amazing to watch God open door after door and care for thousands of little details.
We were able to rent a small storefront for our church to meet in—about as centrally located in the district of Chorrillos that you could be! We’ve had visitors and souls saved at every service since we began meeting there. This Sunday we will begin a children’s Sunday school class, meeting in a micro-bus parked across the street!
Last Saturday and Sunday, we passed out 1,000 tracts, invited people to come visit, and witnessed. I personally have seen many souls trust Christ as Saviour as I’m out and about. The fields are white unto harvest!!
In addition to the present church building, we are preparing to begin the groundwork for the larger property that will become ours for a church in December. We also are looking to begin a third church in another area in the near future! It’s full-speed ahead for 10,000 churches!
Our family is well. We had a rough transition, as we arrived with a flu bug going through the family. However, we’ve worked through that and are enjoying greatly the mild temperatures and abundant, inexpensive produce. Our son Timothy has given us two “scares” in our short time here. He was bit by a spider six times our first Wednesday here in Peru when it got trapped in his shirt collar. It concerned us being unfamiliar with what is dangerous and what is not. He proved to be fine after an antihistamine and cortisone treatment. Then this past Sunday he was playing with our neighbor’s dog when the dog bit him on the left cheek. It was not a deep wound, but it did bleed a lot. Fortunately, it is a healthy dog and current with its shots. He is healing well once again. We are consistently reminded of the importance of the prayer support of our Christian brothers and sisters.
We are ever aware of you, our co-laborers in the ministry. We know that every dollar of support is a representation of long hours and sacrifice on the part of God’s people. We live our lives to be a worthy investment of your time, money, and sacrifice. Thank you for seeing, by faith, what was not seen. Thank you for your support. We are daily seeing the fruit of your faith as it is translated into Peruvian souls saved.
We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for the months to come.
For his Glory,
Dan Hubbard
