Dear Friends,
We stand amazed at what God has done this past year in our lives. Last year this time, we were traveling, attending missions conferences, sharing our dreams with many of you; so that this year, we could be here. Half of this year was spent in the United States, and the other half; adjusting to a third world country: Peru. This is now our home, as we delight to serve our King here. There have been many happy moments, many frustrations, many joys, and many tears. Through it all, we've found His grace to be sufficient to carry us through everything. A year ago, it's crazy to
think that we did not know a one of the dear people we serve today. A year ago, we prayed for our people, our youth group, our team. Today, we get to live, spend, and be spent for their cause. Today we get to serve the people we so eagerly anticipated meeting. Tonight, we get to do a Bible study with those we prayed for a year ago. Watching God build our church from zero to one hundred twenty people in six months has been a highlight, and has far exceeded our expectations. We realize that we get to be your eyes. We get to see everything happen first hand, and it's our job to pass on the stories to you, of what God is doing here.
The picture above, is our new property for our first church. It is much more spacious than our store front local, and we can't wait to fill it with people. In January, we will also be helping to start church 2. We will do this through Tuesday night, and Saturday night services. Please pray for the people that will be reached through this church. We can only imagine what God has in store for each of them. While we will not be immediately involved in the next two, church 3 and 4 will also be starting shortly. We are excited about what God will be doing in these next three churches, and look forward to the disciples God will give us from each one that will assist us is starting the next few churches. Thank you for your involvement in getting the Gospel out to the world.
Enjoying the journey,
Daniel and Heather Kokubun
