January 2013
Dear Praying Friends and Supporting Churches,
Well, it has happened! We rejoice to announce that we will be moving into our new church property this Sunday, January 13! This is great news for our people who have been packed into our tiny storefront for several weeks now. Our attendances have been over 100 consistently each week, and we are thrilled to have room to grow in our new auditorium.
We are praying for God’s continued blessings as we move down the road to our new facility. We anticipate much growth here and are
excited at the possibilities! We also have exciting news about our weekly Bible study in San Gabriel, Villa Maria del Triunfo. For many weeks we have been meeting there on Thursday nights in the home of one of our church members. It is apparent by the number of visitors and the spiritual appetite of the people there that they are ready for a church to be started in San Gabriel. We are pleased to announce that we will be starting a church there on January 27! Please be in prayer for this endeavor. We are praying specifically that God will use me according to His will as I pastor these dear people, that the Peruvian people who are helping us will draw closer to God as they learn to minister to others, and that God would be glorified in all that we do in San Gabriel. We are asking God for many souls to be saved and that this church would be an outlet for the planting of many more churches here in Lima, Peru. We are extremely grateful for the Jose Salazar family, who has opened their home for this new work. We will be meeting there on Sunday afternoons, Wednesday evenings, and Thursday evenings for church services. The people there are so hungry for the Gospel, and we are thrilled that God would allow us to be a part of this great work!
Additionally, the Peru Team is excited to report that two more churches are ready to be started in the very near future! One will be located in Chorrillos, not too far from our main church, and the other in an adjoining district. Please pray for our team and for the Peruvian members of our church who are helping with these projects. Our schedules, patience, faith, and endurance are being stretched a bit as we grow. Please be in prayer for our family as we move forward in this coming year to do more for Christ. We are continually thankful for your prayers and support.
His for souls,
Zach and Karin Foust, Zachary, C.J., and Logan
