Our new relationship with the T family has gone well. The girls (M and M) did not get in school but they scored well enough to get in the English program at the school. Hopefully, they will be able to enter school in the next semester. We spent at least 5 days a week with these girls and their need to learn English has given us a bridge to create a relationship with their family. We have also been able to teach them a great deal about the Bible and God's Story of Love for all People.
We are going to be continuing this study on Monday and Friday's. Please pray for all of these teenagers and their families. We have another meeting tomorrow with another mother about adding her son to the group. Pray that we will be able to add more and more students.
Also, we recently were able to take part and have a "Best Practice" business presentation. The results after this meeting were very good. The people responded very positively to the e perspectives that were presented. And they have responded very well to the spiritual perspectives that were introduced. In some cases creating deeper spiritual conversations about God. (It is good to have people engaged spiritually. These are good first steps.
If anyone is interested in bringing a small group of business people to Lima to make a presentation to various companies or business people please contact me.....
Please pray for our children. Luke has started his Senior year of high school.
We are studying 2 Corinthians in our church. The idea of being a good ambassador (2 Cor 5:20) can be difficult to grasp. Many things are required of an ambassador: language, culture, concern for the people and purpose. The need of all people is to "be reconciled to God," There is no greater purpose than to share God's love with others.
Pray for open doors and open hearts. This is the coldest winter in Lima in 30 years. Pray that people will not be cold to the Gospel, but they will be open and receptive to God's word.
God's Blessings and Peace,
Tim and Joy Mitchell
