Our last few Saturday nights with the Nikkei SAN(Business Association) where we teach English went very well. We met many new people and had several great conversations. A few highlights were a student told me how much he was enjoying studying the Bible and another student asked me to pray for her family. Plus we went to another association that I did not even know existed.
Our family came home in shifts throughout the summer. The first of the kids in July. Joy and Caleb in August and Tim in September. The kids have settled into school and are finishing football season. We are adjusting to the climate and the rain. (It doesn't rain in Lima.) We have had the opportunity to meet and bump into many friends and family. It is wonderful to see everyone. We hope to see lots of folks between now and June 2010.
We are here so that are kids can connect with their home culture and we can all see family and friends. (There just isn't enough time.) (Gray is a sophmore in college, Caleb is a senior in high school, Jacob is in the 10th grade and Luke is in the 7th grade.)
We are also here so that we can encourage people to pray for the needs in Peru. It is important for us to be praying for the Japanese, the Nikkei and all the Peruvians. Tim is speaking at several churches and mission events to help facilitate people understanding our mission and how they can pray.
If you need a speaker for a missions event please call or e-mail.
Please pray for the mission church in Miraflores. They are reaching out into the community in many ways.
God's Blessings and Peace,
