Upon arrival in Tarapoto Mya and I headed straight to the convención of river churches where I had the responsibility of preaching for 5 hrs a day for 5 days…. I preached my heart out and ended up exhausted but joyful, Tired but thrilled, Drained but full. This event is really the most important event of the year as far as pouring into the river churches goes. There were 500 brothers and sisters that showed up and the Lord did great things.
After the convention Amy and Ellia arrived in Tarapoto and they brought three young men with them… Jacob Bloomquist, Chase Gartin and Peter Costello. We are very excited to have these three guys with us in discipleship until May. We have a lot ahead us as we attempt great things for our great God. We’ve planned four river trips, one coastal trip and one mountain trip… in all that will be 30 mini missions trips to 30 different villages here in Peru. Without doubt there will be much adventure along the way!
We hope to spend a lot of time in prayer, bible study and physical exercise during these next few months…. Our book list will include Spiritual Disciplines by Donald Whitney, The Holy War by John Bunyan, Shadow of the Almighty by Elizabeth Elliot and the entire New Testament by God. Please pray for us!
Missions quote of the day by Leonard Ravenhill: “Oh that believers would become eternity-conscious! If we could live every moment of every day under the eye of God, if we did every act in the light of the judgment seat, if we sold every article in the light of the judgment seat, if we prayed every prayer in the light of the judgment seat, if we tithed all our possessions in the light of the judgment seat, if we preachers prepared every sermon with one eye on damned humanity and the other on the judgment seat—then we would have a Holy Ghost revival that would shake this earth and that, in no time at all, would liberate millions of precious souls.”
