Prayer Topic for Sunday November 4th

This Sunday, we will be praying for the evening service. The team from the last Peru trip will be giving their report, and it promises to be an exciting night.

So, this week be in prayer for those guys as they prepare to speak. Also, be in prayer that we will have good attendance Sunday night. It would be great for a lot of people to show up and hear about the work in Peru.

Thanks for your faithful prayers. As always, join us on Sunday evening at 5:30.

Prayer Topic for Sunday October 28th

This week we need to be in prayer for Walter, our man on the ground in Ancahuasi. In November, Dr. Sills will have the opportunity to travel to Nazca, Peru to do some training with pastors and other leaders. We would like to have Walter travel to Nazca and be apart of the training. It would be a good opportunity for Dr. Sills to talk with Walter more and for Walter to receive some hands-on training.

The issue is getting Walter down to Nazca. It seems that it would be a very long bus ride from Cusco to Nazca. Flying would probably be the best option. But all of these options require money. So, join us in praying for wisdom in how to best approach this situation. Pray that Walter would be able to travel to Nazca and benefit from the time with Dr. Sills. Also, pray for Dr. Sills as he prepares for this trip.

On another note, Walter has been seeking to finish an addition to his family's home. He was in need of some tin to complete the roofing of the addition, but he lacked the funds to purchase it. In His providence, God led someone in our church to provide the funds for Walter to purchase the tin and finish the addition. Praise God for His provision and for the generous servants that He has given to our church!

As always, join us this Sunday at 5:30 to pray for Peru.

Prayer and Missions

Since this blog is devoted to praying for missions, we thought it would be helpful to occassionally post some resources on prayer and missions. So, check out this sermon from John Piper on the relationship between prayer and missions.

Hope you enjoy it and are encouraged to pray for the nations.

Trip Update at Ninth and O Website

Thanks to the guys in Peru for posting the baptism video! That was great to see, and praise God for His work! Over at Ninth and O's website, the team also posted a short update on how the trip has gone so far. Click here to check it out.

Again, thanks to the team for taking the time to keep us updated. We look forward to hearing your full report.

This is a video clip of the baptism of a young man in Ancahuasi named Jose. He is seen here sharing his testimony after a prayer and Quechua hymn. Please pray for him as he continues to grow in the Lord!

Testimony and Preaching - Thursday

Tonight will be the last service in Ancahuasi on this trip. Please pray that it will be used by God for His glory and the good of His people. Chris Sills will be sharing his testimony, and Don Miller will be preaching the message. Again, let us pray that God may give them words to boldly proclaim His gospel. Also, we should remember to pray for those who are doing the translating. May God give them the physical strength necessary to do their job well.

Soli Deo Gloria

Testimony and Preaching - Wednesday

This evening, the team will hold another service at the church in Ancahuasi. Please be in pray for the service. John Dalton will be sharing his testimony, and Larry Buchanan will be preaching a message from God's Word. Pray for these men that words may be given them in boldly proclaiming the gospel (Ephesians 6:19-20).

We trust that God is being glorified by the work of the team in Peru. May we continue to pray for them faithfully.

Testimony and Preaching - Tuesday

We are thankful for the safe arrival of the Peru Team in Cuzco! Praise God for His grace given to these men. Also, we trust that the services on Monday night went well, and that Philip's message went out with power. Guys, we are praying for you all!

Today (Tuesday), Craig Wilson will be sharing his testimony and preaching at the church service in Ancahuasi. Please be in pray for Craig as he speaks and preaches. Also be in pray for those who will hear Craig's message. May God use these messages to bring glory to Himself and draw many into His kingdom.
