well we are in arequipa being american. we go to caraveli on monday. so far it has been a great summer. we have had plenty of oppurtunities to share the gospel and more importantly glorify God while in peru. lampa was great but i feel that there is a great need there. there are 2 village missionaries there named j0rge and austin. the guys are awesome but they are in serious need of help. there church has been sending missionaries to lampa for a while but everytime they leave the church there stops meeting. they are in need of ppl to pray and help physically in lampa to disciple the men and women there in lampa. our goal is not to start a satelite church anywhere but i a church that can be ran by the ppl in that village. once that happens then they can go out to there on ppl and share Christ... which is much more effective. i ask that everyone please lift these two guys up. they are both 18 or 19 and they have shown tremendous courage and boldness in spreading the gospel. please continue to pray for us as we share the gospel. please pray that the Holy Spirit may go before us. we thank you mommas for prayin for us and letting us come... haha.
until next time

You got it Eric! As this is the middle or center of your time in Peru - I direct you to the center of the Bible; Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Trust in the Lord in Lampa and He will guide the Spirit and steps of Jorge and Austin (wow they are young!) This will be my long/ongoing prayer. Ahh, don't mention it, this is what mammas do when God gives us such great gifts as you kids - it is our pleasure. Thank you for being courageous, allowing God's power, and a priest of the Most High!

Hey Jess ! It was great to see the pics! I am at your grandmas house eating razzleberry pie. Troy and Andi left for Tenn on Thursday and we had a garage sale the last two days for them and Carrie at her house. Ryan came over Thursday to brew with me. We'll be praying for you and the team and the gospel message to bear fruit in Peru! Love & Miss You, Dad & Pam

Edge!
It sounds like you guys are having a great trip. I just wanted to let you know I'm praying for you.
I saw the picture of you jumping the fire and I was not surprised. I hope things go well for your team and I know that God will continue to direct you. Keep Rockin'!
Hey, remember that time at Victory?...

hey buddy...I was pretty bummed to see that you had called and my stupid phone didn't even ring. I know you are missed by many here in the states and i suppose you can add me to that list. lol. but ya know no matter how well you all feel that you are dealing with the struggles that you are facing, I know I am just encouraged to know there are ppl out there willing to face the struggles. So yeah, I am praying for y'all and I hope that God will show off His amazing grace to ya guys in the meantime. take care bro. - Richard *throws up the Jimmy*
