Dental Team

This week is the beginning of our busiest time of the year. Our short term mission teams will fill up the next few months. Our first team was a group of dentist and dental students from UMC in Jackson, Mississippi. They saw many patients in the outlying parts of the city. These dentists not only pulled and cleaned teeth, but also demonstrated the love of Christ! Thank you all for giving up your time to help with the work here in Trujillo!

A New School Year!

Our youngest angel Millie at her school program! All the kids have been back in school for 6 weeks now. We are getting into the groove of things. This is our second year in Peruvian schools and I think we are finally figuring out the system. All of the kids are doing well and have many friends!

Here is a recent sermon preached at Christ Presbyterian Church in New Braunfels, Texas.

Medical Equipment to the Wichanzao Clinic

Here is a great summary by Dale Ellison of our struggle with Peruvian Customs and the Peruvian ministry of health to finally take possession of donated medical equipment.  Praise the Lord with us that the saga is over.  We look forward to getting the equipment installed and in use at the Wichanzao clinic.  Special thanks to all who have prayed for this!

Online Sermons

Here are three sermons from Advent and Christmas:

"Announcing the Long Expected Birth" Luke 1.26-38 [there are problems with the first half of this recording.  I hope to have it fixed soon].

"A Cause to Celebrate" Luke 2.1-20

"Presenting the Infant King" Luke 2.21-40

Covenant OPC Construction Team

The saints from Covenant OPC in Orland Park, IL sent a construction team down last month to begin building the new manse for the Wichanzao parish. Pastor Juan Marquina and his wife Mirian have been living for the past year and a half in one of the classrooms in our education building. As you can imagine, they are eager to see their home finished and to move in. We've run out of money for now, but thanks to the generosity of Covenant Presbyterian, we were able to lay the foundation, the floor, the first floor walls, and finish the first floor roof. We still have a long way to go before it is finished, but we are half-way there! Please join us in thanking God for the generosity of Covenant Presbyterian Church!
