Dear Praying Friends and Supporting Churches,
It certainly is exciting to be serving the Lord here in Lima, Peru. What a privilege to be representatives of Christ here in South America. We are thanking God for His continued provision of all of our needs. Our family is thankful for good health and strength to serve our God. Our family is doing well, and the boys are growing like weeds!
We are also excited about the growth of our church family. At this time our church is at capacity; we cannot fit many more people inside our building. The children are meeting at the community center down the road on Sunday mornings. This allows for a bit more room. We are praying for God’s leading on a new building for our church. We are hoping to move soon to facilitate more growth in our main location.
I have been enjoying teaching on the subject of “The Church” in the adult Sunday school class. It is a blessing to teach on this while watching a church being formed. The people are eagerly learning more and more each week. One of the things that really is exciting is teaching young Christians how to win souls to Christ. In the last several weeks, I have been privileged to have a man named Paul as my soul-winning partner. He was able to lead his first soul to Christ. Then this last Saturday, I was able to take three adults soul winning with me, and two were able to lead their first soul to Christ! Soul winning here is such a blessing! People are very open to the Gospel. We are praying that we continue to see much fruit to your account.
Last week we attended the memorial service for the son of a man who faithfully attends our church. Although he lives in a district some distance away, Jose and his wife come each week and usually bring visitors. At the memorial service, 78 people attended, and 2 people trusted Christ after hearing a Gospel message by Bro. Hubbard. Jose and his wife have asked that I start a Bible study in their home each week so that they can reach some of these people who are dear to their hearts. Bro. Junior Martin and our family will be working with these people in the district of Villa Maria de Triunfo. Please be in prayer for this new work. We feel that God would have us to start a church there from this Bible study.
Please continue to be in prayer for our ministry here. Words cannot express how grateful we are to God for each of you. We pray for you often. Thank you again for your support and prayers.
His for souls,
Zach and Karin Foust, Zachary, C.J., and Logan
