Multiplication Begins

6:23 PM

"Multiplication is better than addition..."  I can't say how many times I heard that phrase on deputation.  Many of our team members pretty much memorized our team video because we played it in so many churches.  If you were one of those who was privileged to see our video when we were traveling in the States, then you know that Team Peru's goal is church planting.  Not only would we like to see a handful of churches planted here in Peru, but we'd like to see 10,000 churches planted.  Impossible? You might ask, but no- nothing's impossible with God.  

Over these past two weeks, we've gotten to watch the beginnings of our dreams come into fruition.  While some of us haved stayed at the main church in Chorrillos, (This is the new building I posted a picture of in our blog, "The Expansion") Others have now gone to an area up in the mountains here called "San Gabriel" and turned their Bible Study into a church.  The Foust family has done a great job heading up this church.  For now, Mr. Foust has become their Pastor and the plan is to eventually hand it over to a Peruvian Pastor as soon as we find God's man for that place.  Many of our church members have also had a part in starting this new church.  Many of our Bible Study attendees have gone and seen souls saved themselves. Just last week, Ana got to see 3 people saved!  She was on cloud nine!  It's great to see people who God has allowed our team to reach, go out and reach their fellow Peruvian for Christ.

The first Sunday in San Gabriel, our teenagers went and sang for the service!  That day, there were 38 people in attendance, and 6 people that got saved.  The past two weeks the church in San Gabriel has continued to stay around 38 strong, and is continuing to grow. 




Thank you so much for your prayers for our team.  Please continue lifting us up in prayer.  For every great victory we have, there are also about a dozen battles we fight.  There are lots of changes all of us are going through in order to get the work here done.   Truly, the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few!
