He heals

I wanted to share a great God story for His glory. We had a lady named Betty visiting the church for about 10 days while she was here in Ica, visiting her sister and seeing the doctor about cancer treatments. She didn't tell me what the sickness was only that she was sick. We had just finished our thursday night study in the book of John and I was ready to start Acts, but the Lord laid it heavy on my heart to teach on prayer and to end with James 5. After studying for the evening the Lord put it on my heart to take oil to annoint one that would come forward and ask for prayer. I taught, it was rough, I didn't feel that it went all that well that night, but when I taught about James 5 and annointing with oil anyone who is sick that they may be healed, I felt lead to ask if anyone felt lead to come forward to be prayed over. We were all preparing our hearts for communion. Betty came forward, we prayed over Betty and annointed her with oil. Many other faithful prayer warriors had been praying for her as well. Friday came and her sister came to bring our family some avacado and tell me that in the morning Betty got her test results and she was clear of cancer. The doctor couldn't find any cancer anymore. She still has to come back to the doctor for routine checkups, just in case. But she has been healed. Praise Him. Christ was glorified. Betty stayed a few extra days to be sure to assist our Sunday service, because she said that she feels at home here. I ask her at the last minute to give her testimony of how Christ had healed her and she went on for about 10 minutes about how great is our God, how mighty is Christ and He is to be praised. Thank you Lord for healing Betty and for glorifying Your Holy name.

Baptism/ church picnic

We had a special service on the picnic grounds in a covered pavillion.

Some of the teenagers did some dramas we have been learning. This one is called the Lolipop drama.

Another drama, this one is the Chair.

Then we prayed for the three that were to be baptized.

Then we baptized Jorge (69) and Lucha (65), they are husband and wife.

This is Jorge.

Then we baptized Manuel (80), due to sickness he couldn't get into the water, so we just poured a handful of water on the back of his head.

Then we ate and had a fun time with all the kids playing in the pool. About 60-70 showed up over the course of the day. Many new people came and some that have recently begin to come to the church came and I think they feel a little more like part of the family. What a blessed time we had. Thank you Lord for your provision and for a beautiful day.

Bibles- God's perfect timing

This past sunday we had a full house, three people were standing during the service. Wow. Prayers are being answered. Two people prayed to receive Christ during the service, one of which we had been fasting and praying for. Wow, wow, wow. We are wowed by the awesome grace and might of our Holy God. With all the people we were in need of Bibles. As the service begin and I saw that there was not enough Bibles for the new people who had come, I thought what do we do and just then a lady who is visiting from the states for a couple of months came to tell me that if we needed more Bibles right now, that she had purchased a box of Bibles to give us. We broke open the box and used 5 Bibles right away, 2 or 3 ended being gifted to some new folks, especially those that had prayed to receive the Lord that day. Wow. Wow. wow.

Happy Birthday Nala!!!

Team, Calvary Chapel In the City, Boston

Calvary Chapel In the City, Boston came to minister with us for a few days. We had a blessed time together. We went into the center of the city to evangelize and pass out invitations, we went to minister to children in Los Pollitos, we did an outreach in a public school and we surfed the sand dunes in La Huacachina.


Tracy preparing goody bags for the kids in the school.


The team performing a puppet show in the public school.


We sang some songs and got the kids to do all the motions, even the bigger kids were participating.


The kids listened intently as the team shared a teaching about the ascension of Christ.


We performed a drama about sharing.


And finally we made a craft with the kids in their classrooms. We had an awesome time ministering in the public school system and we praise the Lord that we were able to share with the kids and plant seeds that the Lord will water in His timing.

Steve and Cassys last days

The church said goodbye to Cassy. Of course they fell in love with Cassy. Her and her dad Steve were here for one last Thursday night Bible study. We had some cake and soda and celebrated with a little saddness. Thanks Cassy for all your love and for being a godly example to all the young girls.
