The Goshorns Step by Step May 2015 April in Peru

Things are continuing to progress here in Peru. We had our first Kids Club Bible study at the orphanage. We had a much bigger turnout than expected ! Katherine and Rut , one of our Peruvian friend did a great of kicking things off by leading the kids in music and dancing. The kids had a blast! During the Bible lesson, many of the kids participated with questions and answers and we finished with snacks and a balloon fight. We were very pleased with how the Lord used these children on the first day of Kids Club and we look forward to seeing how the Lord works in future Kids Clubs.

On Wednesdays, Matthew and I continue to help out with kids Bible studies and games. One of the studies was on the story of the Good Samaritan. I believe this story hits home, but is a little foreign at the same time in the communities here in Peru . Many people do not help each other here. It is good for the kids to hear and learn how Jesus was a servant and how He is our example on how to live. Jennifer is also continuing to help with a Bible study every Monday at the women's prison. She continues to be amazed at how the women participate. Matthew and I had the privilege of participating in a church service in the men’s prison. There are around 2000 men in this prison. We went through eight check points, as well as a couple of pat downs in order to get in. We had to remove our shoe strings, belts, jackets and everything in our pockets and leave it all behind. This made it a little hard to
trick. I now know how to dress in the future. The service was very uplifting for us. I saw the hardened hearts of the most dangerous men in Peru, many of whom have been there 30 years, soften and tears flow from their eyes when I told them God loves them and that we all sin. I told them that they have to be strong and use the rest of their lives serving the Lord and that the next life will be what counts. We are getting excited about Daniel returning on May 12th and I think he is also. We are also excited that his girlfriend Audrey will be accompanying him. She will be rooming with Katherine for 6 months. Katherine has her room all prepared and is very excited. We look forward to having her with us and joining us serving the Lord.
The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to
him?” – Martin Luther King Jr
