Today we ran into two women who were told by some friends to shop at Villa Milagro. God sent us to the office today to specifically talk to them. They are families who sold all their possessions and moved to Cajamarca to work at the mine. They knew that they wanted more for their families and God gave them the opportunity. We spoke to them about why we came to Peru and what we are doing. They were very interested and thirsty for more. It is amazing that anyone - anywhere - Peruvian or American - can be put in your life for you to minister to. We just have to be open and ready!
They mentioned about helping us during Volunteer visits and even starting our own English speaking bible study group. Justin and I have been so busy trying to help the Peruvians but didn't think about the American's here who need guidance and support too. There isn't a English speaking church here. So, why not start one? Anyone want to sell all their possessions and move here to start a church - there is a need! And we sure do need help. Also, my goal is to start a Women's bible study with all the Women - English speaking and Spanish! Anyone have some materials they can donate we would love it take it off your hands! God is awesome and we are so grateful to what and whom he puts in our paths each day.

It's crazy.... Right when you get frustrated God sometimes shows you things if your open to it. Meeting these two women today by chance was one of those times. I have been praying for something, anything God wants me to do. It seems as if he showed us other needs in the area. We both are a little set back because of the language barrier between us and the Peruvians. Guess that's not a good excuse for God.
What is your reason for not sharing your FAITH? Pray about it and God just might show you that is not a reason, but just simply a very bad EXCUSE!!!
