Summer Teams: Vilcas Huaman

This is the Vilcas Huaman team. They are (left to right) Miriam Horna Gomez, Mark Brown, Gerica Maclin.

Please pray for this team. Gerica recently had a cough while on-site. She was taken into quarantine and it was announced that the whole team had swine flu. Even with this being false, Gercia remains in quarantine and the rest of the team are being treated as outcast by the town.

Please pray for this team and the spiritual warfare they are encountering. Gercia is feeling fine, but pray for the "official" results to come back quickly, clearing her release. Also pray that they can stay on being a positive witness in the community after the fears have subsided.

Summer Teams: Ayaviri Team

This is the Ayaviri team. They are left to right: Jourdan Edmonds, Jared Rogers, Penny Jo Nichols. Ayaviri was adopted last year by an associaion of churches in SouthEast Texas, called the Golden Triangle Baptist Association.

This is a relatively new partnership. Pray for this summer team as they work to establish at least two new groups, studing the Bible, with the goal of seeing souls saved, believer's baptized, and new, healthy simple churches started.

The area where they serve is at one of the highest elevations in Peru that we serve and we are entering winter. Imagine having a concrete room, without heat with night time lows in the teens some nights. Already the temperature has dropped to 22 at night. Pray that they stay healthy braving the bitter cold, as they spread the good news of God's redemptive plan for our lives.

Summer Teams

Ye of litte faith...

If you asked me 6 months ago the projection for summer missions, I would say that the economic downturn back home would keep our numbers from growing at the rate we've seen in the past. You see...our numbers had been doubling every year, from the teens to the thirties to the sixties. I thought perhaps this year the trend would stop.

WRONG!

We are happy to present more than 120 summer missionaries planting churches across all of southern Peru. I will be presenting them individually in the days to come, so be praying for them as they settle into their respective villages for a long summer.
