We Sold It, Now What??


After placing our home on the market—note the housing market hasn’t changed, SLOW– Another opportunity came to go to Peru.  It was just up our ally, a Construction Mission trip to Villa Milagro.  By this time it was October and we only had 2 people view our home.  Two days before our trip to Peru we received an offer.  It was not an offer we wanted so there was much praying to do.  We arrived in Cajamarca, and almost immediately we started livening up again.  We spent many days praying and consulting with the Lord.  We discussed with Larry how we felt led to Cajamarca, specifically, Villa Milagro.  We had ideas to help his ministry progress and presented them to him.  Of course he was open to all of them and excited that we felt led to continue his ministry that he and his wife started 20+ years ago. 
 After arriving back from our second trip from Peru we knew that God has a bigger plan for us.  A bigger plan than working a “9 to 5” job.  Bigger than we could imagine.  We accepted the offer on our home and sold majority of our furnishings.  We moved what was left of our belongings into a temporarily apartment in Justin’s mothers garage.  We went from 2400 sqft living quarters to a 288 sqft living quarters.  So we sold it, now what?? We new that God wanted us in Peru, We didn’t know how we would get there, Where we would live, or How long we would be there but we KNOW we trust HIM and we KNOW God will provide.
Since June, Justin has been meeting with his mentor, Dave Hughey the Associate Pastor of GSFBC about being led to missions.  We came forward in church and committed to missions in Peru.  Little did we know, God had a plan ready for us.  GSFBC had been raising funds for this mission field. God is always faithful,  God is answering our prayers as we ask Him to send us to the mission field at Villa Milagro, Cajamarca Peru.
