The Goshorns Step by Step Dec.2020 This has been a crazy year for everyone. We haven't been able to have our regular programs yet but we were permitted in the orphanage the other day and it was awesome seeing some of the kids. We were able to set up a Christmas program that will happen in a couple weeks. We were also contacted by the prison and asked to come a couple days before Christmas. As most of you know, we’ve stayed very busy despite all the government restrictions. This is a short list of a few things we’ve been doing during this time. We’ve been averaging around 130 families (460 people, 187 kids) that we supply weekly food to since March. Along with food we’ve been able to share Christ and hand out Bibles. We've helped with 2 appendix surgeries, a gallbladder surgery, a hysterectomy due to cancer, treatment for a stroke victim who ended up passing away (she was only 42), treatment for a heart attack victim,( who is doing a little better) 2 DNC’s because of late term miscarriages, and finally 3 surgeries for a girl that was in a severe car accident. We helped 2 families that had propane tanks explode. Unfortunately, one of the mothers passed away. We provided prenatal vitamins and various medicines for people with diabetes, heart problems, asthma, and seizures. We’ve helped with several funeral's and listened to much heartache. In addition, we’ve also helped with rent so people weren't sleeping on the street. Each of you have made all this possible with your prayers and financial support, thank you.
Through all these horrible situations, we’ve seen the Lord working. We feel so very blessed to be here in Peru serving the Lord and his children. Many doors have opened with all the Venezuelan refugees. Serving people’s physical needs has built a lot of trust and presented many opportunities to share Christ. Many restrictions have eased up, but the virus is just as bad or worse than it has been. The government along with us have seen the devastation of shutting everything down. The amount of damaged caused by shutting things down will take many years to recover. Every person that I’ve spoke to has said that they would rather die from the virus then loose everything or starve to death. We continue to be in need of more people to join us in serving the Lord. Please share with others. Romans 12:4-5 “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.”
We humbly thank you for your continued prayers and financial support. If you haven’t yet, we ask that you would prayerfully consider financially supporting this ministry in Peru. Without more financial partners this ministry can not continue to grow. We love you all and thank you for being part of God’s work in Peru.
