Update from Peru!

Here is the latest from the YMI Team in Peru!

Hey Everyone,

We did three ministries today. The first two were at the Compassion International projects. We ministered to 130 children. After the presentation of the gospel, the "teachers" talked with the children in their small groups. They reported that 20 became new believers today. We are completely overwhelmed by what we are privileged to see God doing in this country! We then spent 1 hour training the leaders of this project, teaching them pantomimes, illusions, the evangecube and the one tear cross. It was so well received and we received valuable insight for our evening ministry.

Afterward, we went to the church to train the leaders for their evangelistic outreach. We had 130 leaders who were trained in puppets, pantomimes, evangecube, and songs. The church is so excited by what they are learning. None of us can believe that this is day 1 - it feels like we did a week of ministry today! Please remember to pray specifically for the evangelistic outreach that will occur Thursday and Friday night. These 130 leaders will go out and evangelize their neighborhood in a church planting effort. We got to meet with the Head Pastor of the church and his wife this evening. He has a great vision for this community and is so excited by what Julio [The YMI Peru National Director and missionary host for the team.] is doing and the way he sees God working.
