Manliness!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today is a good day to ask the question: Where are the men?!?  Where are the men that love their wives unconditionally?  Where are the men that pass on a godly heritage to their children?  Here's a quote by C.S Lewis about the sorry state of manhood today:  "We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

We had a great Father's day here with the church in Tarapoto!  At our morning service I preached on Biblical manhood.  After church everyone came over to our house for a BBQ.  Before eating I took advantage of the "hungry crowd" and preached on the importance of men loving their wives.  At the evening service we had a lot of people come out to see the movie "Courageous".  When it ended I preached on the necessity of Godly father's. 











Please pray that God would raise up a new generation of men that fear nothing but sin in their own lives and want no one but God and God alone.  Pray that we would see more men with chests' that lead their families, love their wives and invest everything they can in their children.

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for your prayers! We are doing much better here in our jungle town of Tarapoto. No kidnappings, no robbery's, no falling into the septic tank, and no encounters with the police. Our neighbors have been able to keep their adopted son and are getting all the legal papers in order. We were able to move into our house last week and while the living conditions are still a bit rustic we are feeling quite comfortable. There is still A LOT to do but at the same time A LOT has been accomplished.

Now that we have a home, life is becoming a bit more stable and I can focus more on ministry while Amy and the kids are focusing more on home-school. Our small assembly is doing better and there is a general spirit joy and love for one another. We have gone from about 25 to 40 adults in the last two months or so. There are a few new believers too ! One of them (Robert) who said he heard me open air preaching two years ago has just now come to repentance and faith in Christ. He showed up at our prayer meeting a few weeks ago with a real hunger for God. Now Robert and his wife are growing in the Lord and never miss a meeting (they even come to the youth group.... and they're not exactly youth.... :)

A few nights ago I had the opportunity to preach at a wedding. The place was packed with almost all unbelievers that were planning a huge drunken fiesta that was to take place after the formalities. Almost no one knew that the bride and groom had asked me to preach and so the crowd was quite surprised as I was invited up as the “Gringo preacher”. As I shared the gospel you could tell that the crowd didn't know what to do with me. They actually seemed quite stunned and on the edge of their seats, wanting to leave (a few did) but also wanting to listen. It was sort of like John the Baptist and Herod. They wanted to listen because it was so interesting but at the same time they wanted my head. I was great! Please pray that God would work in the hearts of those that heard.
