Thank you again for all your faithful prayers and support. I could not be in Peru without you! It is a blessing to be here!
In March, Risha and I had an opportunity to go to Brazil for a BIMI Field Conference. And what a blessing it was for both of us! It was great to connect with other missionaries in South America and see how God is working. I was also presented with a silver pin to commemorate 25 years with BIMI. I can’t believe it has already been 25 years. But sometimes when it gets very busy like this year has been, I wonder how it could only be 25 years! Thank you for each of you who gave financially so that Risha and I were be able to go! We cannot say Thank You enough!
I have the privilege to be teaching High School Bible classes in our Christian school here. What a great opportunity to share God’s word with these young men and women. I have had multiple students tell me that they had a goal to read the Bible all the way through. Others shared their desire to go on missions trips and be missionaries. Others said that they want to get married to a Christian. It’s so exciting to watch God work in their lives.
We had one of our former students (who I also taught Bible to years ago) visit our churches recently. She is currently a single missionary in a very difficult country. For her safety I can’t even include her name or her country in this letter. She is just one example of how God is continuing to bless and work through our ministries here in Peru. Please say a prayer for her!
We also had the opportunity to witness to all of the moms and dads of our students during our Mother’s Day and Father’s Day events. Please pray that all our students and parents accept Christ as their personal Savior.
Our church plant continues to grow! It has been great having the two small groups combined to make a larger group. Having a larger group has built some excitement and momentum which is resulting in others visiting. Please continue to pray for our church as we reach new people with the Gospel.
As a personal prayer request, please keep me in your prayers as I am going through some “burn out.” I may have taken on too many extra classes this year. With that in mind please pray for a fulltime High School Bible teacher for the school.
We thank the Lord for all of you!Rick Anderson
