Corona revival in the jungles of Peru. According to some of the villagers that I'm able to contact through facebook there's news of God doing special things in the jungle. Our thirty villages along the Huallaga river in the San Martin/Loreto departamentos of Peru have been greatly affected by coronavirus. There have been many deaths, even some of the assembly leaders and elders have graduated on to glory through this pandemic. But The Lord seems to be using it to bring many more souls to Himself. Apparantly there has been a widespread repentance and a turning to Jesus as Savior and Lord. They say that the churches are growing in number and in maturity! Praise the Lord for this news! I can't wait until Peru opens up again so I can go and see, first hand, what the Lord is doing!

Javen and Cullen have started their senior year at Emmaus. We are so proud of our two oldest sons! Javen is majoring in Christian counseling, while Cullen is majoring in intercultural ministries. Both of them have moved back "home" with the rest of us in Dubuque so as to save money. As they continue with their studies, they are also working at FedEx, very involved in their respective churches and Lord willing they should both be graduating in May. Javen and Cullen both have many gifts and abilities and it is exciting to see how the Lord will use them as they grow and draw closer to our great God. September was a busy month of travel and ministry! Last month, Amy and I and the four younger kids drove about 5,200 miles and visited 7 churches along the way. Lots of evangelism, lots of preaching and lots of mutual encouragement with the saints in 6 different states. The Lord has called us to encourage His people in the areas of evangelism, discipleship, church planting and missions and we are grateful that He has opened up doors to do this across the country. While weekly zoom meetings continue, in person, physical, coming together meetings are on the increase too. Please pray for endurance as our schedule for October is just about as crazy as Sebtember's was. Missions quote for the day by C.H Spurgeon: "Love your fellowmen, and cry about them if you cannot bring them to Christ. If you cannot save them you can weep over them. If you cannot give them a drop of cold water in hell, you can give them your heart's tears while they are still in this body." Micah for the Tuttle's
