October Prayer Letter from the Hubbard Family

September-October 2012

Dear Praying Friends,

It is unbelievable how quickly time is racing by. Shortly we will have been in Peru for five months. I pause amidst our busy lives and see all that God has done in five short months. All I can do is praise His name. It is truly to His praise and glory—
every soul that has been saved and every life that has been changed, and the little church on the corner is there only because He has allowed it to happen!

We have yet to secure a larger facility for our church, although we have been earnestly asking and seeking and knocking all around our district. The property we were so hopeful to get has fallen through. I am confident we are where we should be
at this moment, and I know God has what we need. We are simply waiting for God to open the door on His timetable.

We’ve held three baptismal services now. Because our little corner church is far too small to house a baptistery, we hold baptismal services at the house of a church
member every other Sunday. It is thrilling to see new believers make their faith public in following in obedience to be baptized. We’ve baptized 23 converts thus far.

Because we have maxed out our church facility’s space, we have not had one big push for attendance to services. Nonetheless, there has not been one public service that
we haven’t had visitors and souls saved, and we fill the house nearly every service! We have concentrated much on discipling our converts. I personally am teaching eight
to nine times a week. Outside of the three main services, I teach two different home Bible studies, as well as teaching the Spanish language to those on the team who don’t speak it. We meet three days a week, four hours a day.

As I look over my statement from the mission board the first of each month, I am reminded of the host of families that make it possible for us to do what we get to do here. Those families make up the faithful churches that send their support each month. We are so grateful for your faithful support. We are witnessing miracles every week here. Thank you for partnering with us to reach these precious people.

For His glory,

Dan Hubbard
