Precious in the sight of the Lord


 "At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;"


Our ministry at Matara continues and last week we had 198 kids!  


On Sunday, August 25th, we were blessed to move into our new church building.  We are now able to have our children's ministry in the same location.    The Lord knew our need, as we were filled to overflowing the previous week.  We can now seat 75.  


More new beginnings!  Our newest granddaughter, Arianna Betty, was recently dedicated to the Lord!


“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Deuteronomy 6:4-7



And last but certainly not least, the Brower Family arrived in Peru and they are now here with us in Baños Del Inca. We were excited to surprise them and greet them at the airport in Lima. They were expecting to meet our friend Mesod, who would get them to the hostel and help them navigate the paperwork in Lima. But the Lord provided and we were able to go to Lima to meet them and stay with them that first week! They are getting settled here in Baños and Stacey is ready to start homeschooling next week. Yesterday we took them to Santa Apolonia, which overlooks all of Cajamarca. It is said that the Inca king would sit at his throne, the Seat of the Inca, and review his troops and kingdom.
