The new church we started in July is located in the area of Surco in Lima. We have services only on Sunday evening because we are using a church and they meet in their own building in the morning.
We start with a class (Sunday School). The worhship service and message follow. We start with about 20 and finally end up with around 70 as people trickle in at all different times. Every Sunday service we have several first time visitors.
We also meet for prayer meeting on Tuesday nights. We have a very good number that come to that service averaging between 20 -30.
We are in the beginning process of knowing our people and seeing if they have been truly regenerated. In order to do this, you have to thoroughly cover the plan of salvation to be able to discern if they believe that good works are necessary for salvation.
Carlota is one of the ladies who attends our church in Surco. She always comes early so Ruth took advantage of the opportunity and snapped this picture.
In the background are Erwin and Clara. They attend our English Bible study that begins at 4:00 p.m.
Carlota prays faithfully for Ruth and me. She loves her pastor. It is an honor to be a pastor and Carlota makes it a joy too! Oh, if you could only know her in person. She is one of the sweetest persons you will ever meet. One day you will get to meet her!
