The Goshorns Step by Step July 2015
G o d Mo n t h We had such a busy month, I’m not sure where to begin. As I said in our last newsletter, we started having trouble at the orphanage after having a kids club. Kid’s Clubs consist of songs, dances, games and a Bible lesson. We’re not sure why, but we’re pretty sure it’s because of the Bible lesson, which the kids loved. We asked you all to pray about this and low and behold, they hired a new director for the orphanage and it’s someone that has worked there since we started going. Pray that this is a good change. We also started fixing up the playground, painting and welding the broken parts. Our team from the States that we’ve been preparing for came and went. We are so proud of them. We traveled to a community called Lucma, which was not an easy trip for them, and then we stayed in a hotel that was definitely more rustic than what most people are used to. Not once did we have anyone complain. This team helped with constructing a church building. You have to remember that the building is important, but the church is the people, the body of believers, and the relationships that were built will be beneficial for the Kingdom for years to come. God also blessed us with the opportunity of providing kids club at a local school every day. The team did an awesome job of preparing Bible stories and crafts. There was also dancing, songs, and prayer. We had about 100 kids every day and they had a blast. At the school we also had the privilege of serving lunch to the kids before the
The
Kid’s Club started. One night we provided a movie for the communities in the area (Son of God) and we had a packed house. We were the first foreigners most had ever seen, so when we had people of those communities come up to us and say thank you for what you are doing, it touched our hearts. We also had the privilege to visit a women who has been bed ridden for two years and we got to pray for her. While we were there, her family made a commitment to Christ. We went back later and gave them a Bible and the younger couple of the family said that they want to visit us in Huancayo. Overall, this short-term team was a huge blessing to both us and the people of Lucma, and we hope and believe that the relationships formed on this trip will lead to some great advancement of the Kingdom in that area as many expressed interest in a Discipleship study.
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. Painting at the orphanage
