The year ended with Joy and Tim attending the Nikkei Christmas Party. We had an interesting conversation about Budhism and Shinto worship. We have been meeting with individual members of SAN and doing Bible Storying and English Classes since we have been back. But we will probably start a new class in January. This is good becuase it will be additional students.
This week we habe four members of our church in Cusco along with two members from Prince Ave teaching a seminar on how to share the Gospel with Children. We were also suppose to have 5 members from the team come from Venezuela, but for various reasons they were not able to come. Please pray for this team this week.
Also,We want you to see some of the pictures from the baseball clinic. Please note the team from FBC Brandon and Bell Shoals were in Lima for the first week of January.
We did three clinics a day. Each clinic started with a testimony and a prayer. Then each clinic ended with a Bible Story and a Testimony. At the last clinic with each group the question was posed to each person, "Who do you think Jesus is?"
Many seeds were planted. The people not only heard scripture and testimonies. Many of the coaches and parents commented that they were so surprised that people with such a high level of baseball experience were so kind and so easy to talk to. The coaches were described all week as kind, friendly and gracious teachers. The baseball community saw a group of believers living out their faith.
For our family we have had showers of blessings the past few weeks: from being with our children, Christmas gifts from family and friends, the Baseball team and getting to know and interact with them, a visit from our nephew as he passed through Lima on a REAP trip, and now the Sunday School team in Cusco. Plus this past week another Chifa worker (Freddie) accepted Christ through the ministry of Gomez, Evert and Santos three of our original church members.
If you think God is speaking to you about a VBS activity in English or some type of Business presentation: Medical, General Business, Architecture or Engingeering. Please call or e-mail. These events help us all to have a bridge to enter a community and share our faith and testimony of Christ. Then we may have an opening to go further in these relationships to share more fully about who God is. He is the creator of the world and he loves us all.
To all of the people that are praying for us we would like to continue to say thank you.
B & P,
The Mitchells
Tim, Joy and the Boys
