Eight Baptized

On Sunday, September 22, eight people were baptized.
Three are from our new church at the radio plant where the tower is located.  The other five are from our church in Lima.


Joy overflowed from the hearts of those who followed Christ in this important step.  This is Giovanna and some of her family members.

Lina with a family in our church.  Lina comes alone to our services.  Support from our church family means a lot to the new converts.


This gentleman is one of our taxi drivers.  We have several taxi drivers in our church and like, Marco Antonio in the picture, they hear about us through the radio.

Daniel is a very young man who lives with his mother up on the mountain side near the radio plant.  They began attending our church while we were still ministering at the rural church.


Ruth and I were thrilled to see Daniel baptized.  We wonder what the Lord will do through his life.

There was great joy the night so many were baptized.  It was excitiing!

Luz was our first convert since coming to Lima.  After trusting Christ, she has never looked back.

This is the group that came all the way from the church at the radio plant to see three of their believers baptized.  Marco Antonio was also baptized and is in the picture.

Three were baptized from the church that meets at the radio plant.  Missionary Carl Hodsdon (far right) also helps at the church.

New Classrooms for Our Rural Church

Jorge Ávila is our caretaker at the radio plant.  He has been busy making two new classrooms for the children who attend Sunday School at the church that meets on the property.
Jorge stands at the entrance for the two side by side classrooms.  They are still unfinished.

This is an side view of the classroom.

The classrooms serve a great purpose and Jorge has done a fine job.

  Notice the saw to the right in this picture.  It was donated to the our ministry by some men who attend Valley Forge Baptist Temple in Collegeville, PA.  The tool has been a constant blessing and so helpful.

Javier Huamán is the pastor of the church.  Javier and his wife, Rosa were students of Stan when he taught in Trujillo.
This picture was taken at their son, Isaí's baptism.  The young lady in the middle was also baptized on the same day.  Our church in Lima supports this ministry.  Rosa is expecting their fourth child.
