We have wrapped up our summer short-term team season, and were so blessed to see the Lord work uniquely through each group. We saw so many generous, gifted brothers and sisters come down and serve the church in Peru. Our Church Plant in Arevalo especially saw a lot of change, making huge strides in the building program and drawing many to the love of Christ demonstrated through our USA brethren. Thanks y'all!

This Friday is Fiestas Patrias - Peruvian Independence Day. The schools, institutes, military and anyone who gets the chance marches in military-style parades for a week all over the country. And the new Peruvian President will be inaugurated in Lima in the midst of much pomp and circumstance. Presidents from all over will come to the inauguration ... Chile, Brazil, etc. Fireworks will abound no doubt! We are participating as well, and have our Peruvian flag hanging on our house - the picture shows the view of it from inside.
And on Thursday the Fergusons arrive! They are joining our team full-time and will focus their efforts on University Ministry. They have been working with RUF at Texas A&M for several years, so they bring lots of experience with them. They also bring their 5 children with them - which is what our kids are most excited about, of course!
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me praise His holy name! Praise the Lord, oh my soul, and forget none of His benefits.
