HORRIFIC!!!!



We spent the last 2 days ministering in Pisco,Peru, the epicenter of a 7.9 quake that struck the city on Aug 15. Tens of thousands still live in tents. It was sobering.

We were able to bless ground zero with 6 homes. 12 children will now sleep securely in a new 100 square foot abode. Many thanks to those who gave to this mission. It impacted families for years to come. These people have been living in a tent for 5 months since the earthquake desroyed everything. You've never seen so much joy and weeping as "out of nowhere", a casa shows up.


Grama rescued from living in a chicken pen........... God Bless Revival Town Ministries!!! We thank God for the faithfulness of Revival Town, who donated a house to build for this elderly woman who, for 5 months, had been living in someones back yard where the animals were kept. She said the flies were the worst part. She had been pleading with the government for help for 5 months and had only a concrete pad 12 by 12. A perfect place for her new 100 square foot home. She was overcome and afterwards, gave her life to Christ for the first time in her life. We had a pastor with us who will visit her each week. WoW



Another family living in a tent for 5 months......Their entire house fell down on them, children trapped for hours!!!!! Thank You to the "Hedge" for making 3 homes possible. 9 children in all.












We actually felt refreshed and rested after spending 10 hours in the desert heat building the buildings for the victims. A dozen on the street watched us for over an hour and then were so touched that they wanted Christ in thier lives. We are very happy down here.




800 kids

A week earlier, We ministered to 800 children in 3 different communities with food, prayer, soda and candies. Bless you all who have partnered with us!
















Into the Amazon

We were invited to preach at 2 churches somewhere deep in the amazon jungle. I don't know where, 90 miles in is what they were telling me. Our 3 day "sightseeing" trip turned into a mission trip! Just as we had hoped!! The Lord used us to minister to a hundred villagers. We ministered on the importance of the Father relationship to the children. There was a wonderful response as the Lord ministerd.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I hope and pray things continue to show off God in your lives and that you all continue to reflect the heart of Christ. I am a little jealous!! We will be doing a foster home soon, have been working on it for years and it looks like it's finally coming to pass. We live in Colorado now also. I hope to see you in Peru, Lord willing! Ivan has Autism come to find out so those types of mission trips are for the future for me. I would be so grateful to do a mission trip. I have never stopped thinking of you guys, it's refreshing to see that things are really working out. How amazing your life is, God is such an amazing Father and Teacher and Healer.
