First Ladies' Meeting at Faith Baptist

Our church plant in Lima just recently had its first ladies's meeting.  They meet once a month.  Duma is the leader and she gives her all to make sure it is the best possible for the Lord.

They have a lesson from God's Word, sing songs, play games and have a great time of fellowship.
Ruth lead the singing and game time.  She is very gifted at both.

 Fanny brought a special in song.

 Game time brings a new atmosphere to the meeting and help to unite hearts through laughter and a good time.


It is our prayer that these meetings with glorify our Lord and help bring a closeness to our congregation. 

Pastors Help with Counseling at Radio Office

As the radio ministry grows, the demands for counseling for our radio listeners also grows.  Three pastors plus our own staff, help us to minister to those who desire counsel.

Látimer Rengifo, Noé Morales, and Javier Huamán are pastors of local churches in the greater Lima area who have graciously accepted our invitation to help with counseling.

Another lady in our church in Faith Baptist helps too.  Her name is Patricia Sánchez and she also works part time at the office.  We will try to get a picture of Patricia and our secretary, Mayra.

This gives us a total of eight people to meet the counseling needs of our radio listeners.  This had greatly reduced the demand on Pastor Edward and Stan.  The ministry continues to grow and we are so excited to see what God is going to do in the future.

Pastor for Our New Church in Lurín

When the radio ministry began, we simultaneously began two churches.  One at the radio plant where the tower is located far outside the city limits.  This church was started to minister to our care taker and to reach the people in that area called Lurín.  Another church was also started to reach radio listeners in Lima.

As time went along, both churches grew.

We knew we would not be able to run a radio station and give the proper care a pastor should provide for two different congregations and keep up with the many other obligations we have.  From the start, we have been praying for a pastor to take the church at the radio plant.

God has provided that need.  
Javier and Rosa Huamán have taken over our new work in Lurín. 

They are a great answer to prayer and this will give us more time to minister to Faith Baptist Church in Lima.  
They are a sweet family with three children and Rosa is expecting their fourth.

This means that we will not be attending the church at the radio plant on a regular basis.
Ruth is going to miss her children.  She has spent hours and hours preparing lessons for them.

We bow our heads in prayer thanking the Lord for Javier and Rosa.  They are such a blessing.  Ruth now has a new family to love.

Javier and Rosa graduated from our Seminary in Trujillo and were Stan's students when he taught in Trujillo.
