Dear Friends,
Our first month in Peru has been a very exciting time. We have been going non-stop since we arrived. We are settling into our apartment, and we are getting acclimated to our new way of living in Peru. There are many things that are quite different. Friday is the grocery day for our team ladies, and the market has been quite an experience. It’s not like the States. There is fresh meat being cut and hung out in the open for sale. The merchants are getting used to us as we are getting used to them.
We started language school two weeks ago and are being taught by a Peruvian, Bro. Johnny. It is intense! However, Marsha sang with two of our team ladies in Spanish on Sunday. They did a great job! We can’t wait until we have mastered the soul-winning plan in Spanish. We are working on that now.
A week ago a young man was walking by the church, and I invited him in. His name was David. He came in and seemed to enjoy it. He gloriously got saved that morning. The people who are trusting Christ as their Saviour are already soul-conscious. They are telling their friends and family about Jesus. Some aren’t sure how to give the Gospel, but they are bringing a lot of people to church. Many are coming to Saturday morning soul winning for training.
Our team is involved in five in-home Bible studies during the week. Bro. Zach Foust and I will be starting one this coming Saturday afternoon at Bro. Pablo’s house. This has been a great way of discipling the new converts.
God is doing great things here. In August, 97 people were saved in the church services. There have also been others saved at the Bible studies and during personal soul winning. We are planning a baptismal service soon, because many want to be baptized. We are in the process of having a baptistery made.
We are aggressively looking for property so that we can have a larger place to meet. Right now we are having services in a 25 by 35-foot room, and we are packing it out. Please pray for us to find the right place to meet.
We have several prayer requests. Please join us in praying for property, for souls to be saved, for more in-home Bible studies to be started, for our support to come in, and for the power of God on our team. We appreciate every one of you and are praying for you too. Thank you for all of your financial and prayer support. We couldn’t do this without YOU.
Serving Christ in Peru,
The Miskovics
