The Huanca Family Arrives in Lima

Jorge and Dalila Huanca served the Lord in Trujillo, Peru for 16 years. They were very active in both the Seminary and Faith Baptist (the church we began years ago). They have moved to Lima to come and serve with us in the new church plant and radio ministry.

On their first Sunday (January 8), Jorge brought the message for the worship service. He also played the piano for the song service. Wow, what a difference! It adds so much to the song service.
At the end of the service, we introduced the entire family to our congregation.
Then we had a question and answer time so the congregation could ask questions and get to know them better.
Jorge shared how he meet his wife, Dalila and about his ministry in Trujillo.
Dalila gave her testimony and did a very good job responding to the questions.
She is a very cheerful person and will be a great help in ministering to the ladies. Jorge and Dalila make a great team together.

After this time of sharing, two of the ladies in our church presented a bouquet of flowers to Dalila and a single red rose and new white Bible to their daughter, Damaris.
We also gave a gift to their sons, Jonathan and Josué (Joshua).
Two of the young fellows in our church presented a new Bible to each and gave them a hug.

Their three children are fine examples for our young people. It is refreshing to see a family like theirs.

The evening was capped off with a warm greeting as the people went forward to welcome the Huancas.
The addition of Jorge to our ministry staff is an answer to prayer. He begins work in February and his abilities will be help relieve the work load for our associate, Pastor Edward. Please pray that the Lord will supply more workers. We need a good full-time secretary and one more couple to help in the church and radio ministry.
