Dear Praying Friends and Supporting Churches,
It certainly has been a busy time here in Lima, Peru! What a blessing it is to be allowed the privilege of serving the King of kings here in South America! As our ministry grows here, we experience the increased workload and responsibilities of caring for a great number of people, mostly new Christians. We thank God for these responsibilities and ask that you continue to pray for that we would walk worthy of our calling and that we would care for these precious ones as Christ would do.
IBI of Chorrillos has continued to grow week by week. We have now reached the stage where the Peruvian people are training more Peruvian people how to win souls to Christ. This is very exciting to watch, as it strengthens the faith of both and encourages us all to reach more for Him! Additionally, the institute has been going well. This past month we taught a class on “Teaching,” and many in the church are now showing interest in teaching Sunday school and Bible studies.
Our church in San Gabriel continues to grow. We are especially encouraged to see that the people have an appetite for winning souls. Some are now helping in the invitation time and witnessing to family, friends, and coworkers! Additionally, we are now ready to sign the contract to rent a very nice building only a block away from the house in which we now meet! We will have plenty of space to grow in our new place, and the children and nursery will have a separate room. We are praising the Lord for this great opportunity. The landlords met with us recently, and while we were viewing the building, some of our teens who were soul winning nearby came up to check out the new place. They began to sing a special that they have been practicing, “I Will Serve Thee.” Their song touched the hearts of the couple, and they came to the service that evening,
where they both trusted Christ!
Our family continues to do well. We feel the effects of homesickness at times, but we rejoice that God has allowed us to be a part of this great undertaking. The boys are doing very well. Their Spanish is coming along; they all communicate with friends here with little trouble. Logan was excited to lead his first 2 souls to Christ this month! We are happy to be serving the Lord here with our family!
Please continue to pray for us. We need your prayers each day.
His for souls,
Zach and Karin Foust, Zachary, C.J., and Logan
