life and times

Life has had many twists and turns the last few months.
Last Month we were able to have an important part of getting our visas done.
Hopefully at the end of June we will be able to go back to Lima and have them finalized.
Please pray that everything goes smoothly and we can get that out of the way!
Once that is done we will be able to get all the church paperwork taken care of 
which will help us in many ways. 
One of them being that we will be able to receive the land for the orphanage!

This is kind of what life feels like right now. 
A lot of pieces have come together but we are still waiting on the missing ones. 


 Our church is growing really quickly and is mostly full of new believers. We have outgrown our home already which is about 6 months sooner than we expected. Right now we are praying for a larger place to host our church and the provision for it
About half of the members of Powerhouse Peru
The next few months we have a lot of exciting things going on.
In June we have a vision campaign. We will be going into a neighborhood near us and providing free eye exams and glasses to 100 people that need them. 
In August we have a team from La Casa Del Padre in Lima and they will be helping us build houses.
The daughter of one of our members lost everything including one of her children in a fire a few months ago. We are trying to collect some items for her family and help them build a new home and fill it with some of the things they need. We will also be building a few other houses that weekend.
Every servolution outreach so far has been amazing! 
We always look forward to the next one with anticipation


In September we will be having our first ever Saving the Family conference. 
This is a huge undertaking and to be honest a little overwhelming. 
A team from Powerhouse Church in Katy will be coming to help us and we are so looking forward to the "family reunion" that will be, along with seeing what God does that week. 
We are really excited about some of the doors God has opened and people that will be speaking. 
Once we have everything finalized I will give some more details.  
If you are interested in coming with the team from Katy please let us know. 
We would love to have you!

In other news I turned 30 last month. It was a wonderful day. 
We started it in Lima and I was surprised with a breakfast party 
then we ended it by coming home to Piura and my ladies group surprised me with another party!
I can honestly say that is the first time I've had 2 parties in my honor in one day 

I want to offer my thanks to all of you that have supported us in this venture. 
We know God brought us here and the harvest was ready for us. 
It is hard work but we love it, and we couldn't do this without you. 
Every prayer and every dollar sent is hugely important to us. 
We love you guys!
