Ruth's Special Ministry

Katie is from the U.S., and she and her husband have a deep love for the Lord.  Their family attends our church.  About once a week, Ruth visits Katie and her two children to be a blessing and encouragement to them.

Often Ruth buys them lunch.  She spends time with the children and takes them to a park to play.  Benjamin is on the left and Grace is on Ruth's lap.

 Katie is a great mother and teaches her children to fear the Lord.

Ruth has such a servant heart.  She gives to others freely.

This special ministry has develped into a wonderful friendship for both Katie and Ruth as each encouarges the other in the Lord.  It is important to serve others.  One of the benefits is that you make good friends that can last a lifetime.

City- wide Conference Sponsored by the Radio Ministry

In the month of Novemer we held a three day conference in a rented auditorium in the city.  The subject was "The Supremacy of Christ Over Sex".  Each night of the conference ran two and a half hours.

The purpose was to raise our level of holiness in the area of sexuality. This is an urgent and serious need in the lives of many believers so we are trying to address the issue.  Frankly, I have heard many messages on the topic which produced a lot laughter, but little holiness.  We aimed for the opposite believing sex is sacred and should be handled accordingly.

Hours and hours of preparation and hard work are never seen.  Our associate pastor, Edward, did a great job organizing the event.

We charged a small fee to cover the cost of the auditorium, materials, refreshments and other expenses.  Two days before the event, there was no more vacancy and we had to turn people away.  The auditorium only held approximately 290 people.

We had a great team of volunteers from our church helping.

They worked hard and had a lot of fun serving.  Not all our helpers are in this picture.

Interest was high and the Word helped a lot of people.  The Bible is so practical.  God is a great author.  But he doesn't need our approval or recommendation!

There was a lot of interest in our materials that we provide from the radio ministry.

Afterward, we were bombarded with questions and people who desired counsel.  At the radio office, we offer counseling and three pastors from other sister churches help us with the counseling.

It is our prayer that the teaching made the appropriate impact for the glory of Christ.  We plan to have more conferences over important topics and specific sections of the Scripture.

New Couple Joining our Staff

We invited Pool y Etel to come to Lima for a visit and consider joining us in our ministry.  After visiting us, receiving counsel from their pastor and other pastors, they have accepted our invitation.

Both Pool and Etel are graduates of our Seminary in Trujillo.

Pool preached in both of our churches; the one at the radio plant and also in Lima.

He also taught the teens Sunday School class.

One day they went to the radio office to see that aspect of the ministry.  They met Mayra, our secretary.

Etel is from Ecuador.  They are a sweet couple who have been married less than a year.  We are looking forward to their arrival later this year.

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.

Jonathan and Lorena Templeton Head to Spain

Jonathan and Lorena along with our sweet grandaughter will be arriving in Spain soon.

Jonathan, Lorena, and Norah.

The Lord has supplied their full support.  What a great answer to prayer to have a son and daughter by marriage serving the Lord as missionaries.

Jon is enoying his little girl.

Norah is a sweetheart.

Lorena grew up in Spain as the daughter of missionary parents, Kent and Belen Albright.

 Kent and Belen are going to enjoy little Norah.  It will be a special treat to see their little granddaughter grow up as they serve our wonderful Lord on the mission field.  Bro. Kent is also going to be our guest speaker at several of our pastor camps here in Peru in 2014.  We told him he could only come if he brings Norah with him!

New Grand Babby

We want to announce that we have a new grandson!

Dax was born on July 16 to Deric and Jessica Cheke.  

Deric is a happy father.  Both Jessica and Dax are doing well.  We praise the Lord for our seventh grandchild.  The Lord has blessed us so much.

This is big sister (Chloe) loving on Dax.

Bayne has a little softer touch.  Dax will get lots of love and attention.


Dax is gowing and it is our prayer that one day he will be born again.
