Dear friends and family-
I really don’t know where to begin but let me tell you that our Father is good beyond measure. There is no end to His goodness because He is goodness. He lavishes His love on us because He is love. There are things, I believe, that we miss out on because we do not ask. If we ask, we will receive. I have asked for His blessing on and in my life. When you ask for something like that you don’t really fully grasp what that all entails, well at least I didn’t. I don’t want to drag this out any further so I will tell you that His blessing for me right now consists of allowing me to go to Peru for a week!
How did this come about? Well, for those of you that are not aware, I have been working at the ministry of Institute in Basic Life Principles for the past 2 ½ years (no I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth for those that may have thought that(: ) We have had countless delegations come through at various times. Many of the delegations have come from China, Romania, India, Mexico and recently, Peru. The delegations usually consist of officials, educators, pastors, police officers, and other occupations. The Peruvian delegation that came was mainly people that were involved in politics. It was so amazing to be with this group of people. They were so excited about being here and were so full of life!
So, you have the background now for how we got involved with them. Now, here is what will be happening. Actually, I don’t a detailed list of what will be happening but I can give you the rough outline. We are leaving on July 11, 2010 and returning the July 18, 2010. We will be meeting with the President of Peru and other officials on the first day. Throughout the week we will be helping with various conferences, building houses, cleaning and painting, doing children’s programs, and of course eating a lot of Spanish food :) It is going to be packed from the crack of dawn and through the late night hours.
Let me clarify who the ‘we’ actually are. The people that are going to Peru are various members of the staff of IBLP. They vary in age and come from all over the U.S and even Mexico. Mr. Gothard will also be heading over with us for the week.
I want to close with asking for you to do battle throughout this coming week. The battle of prayer is the most important battle that we can fight. Please keep us all in your prayers.
Eph 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
May our Father be lifted High and praised in every aspect. Please pray that we will bless Him and die daily to ourselves. The only way to live life is in Him-please ask with me for abundance of LIFE to be spilled out among us.
Be blessed
