What a blessing it was to be a part of our first youth event
at the Oasis Youth Center! The church from Iquitos put on quite the event for
the youth here in Nauta. There were short dramas, interpretive dances, a short sermon, and
lots of music. The attendance started
out a little low but in typical jungle fashion as the dramas began and the
volume of the music was raised the people started to come to see what was happening
at the old “Oasis disco tek”. When it was all said and done there was around
100 youth and adults getting to witness what God had done with what was once a
bar. At the end of the event there was eight people who received Christ. After praying with these eight I was talking
to one of them who happened to be a bit older than the rest. He told me that he
used to frequent the Oasis bar quite often and had just happened to be walking
by this night and saw what we had going on. It interested him so he came in and
was touched by the Holy Spirit and received Christ and wants to turn his life
around. What a mighty God we serve and what a blessing it is to see His work
being done.
Preparations
continue for our travel to language school in November. This will be a month
long school which is located in the southern part of Peru. We are extremely
excited about going to this school and getting better with the language. After a year of immersion, we feel God is
telling us the next step is getting into a structured language school setting
and learning how to put the vocabulary together so we can better our
communication skills.
Thanks for the continued prayers and we look forward to
updating you soon.
