Jovenes


In Huacshapata things are moving right along; we continue teaching Ninfa and her son Uriel in their home and plan to reach out to some new contacts.  We’ve stopped by a few homes only to find that they’ve stepped out or are busy with company.  What brings great joy besides teaching Ninfa & Uriel, is working with the teens.  We typically have about 9 in the Saturday morning class and are currently preparing for a youth service for next weekend (the 24th). We have some fun things planned for this outreach event
for the youth in H-town.

Quick Lil Update from Huacshapata

I've tried to upload a video for 2 days now that has been an effort without success. So here is the quick, short version of what's going on in Huacshapata.  Besides contact follow-up from the medical clinics, Wendy and I continue to disciple Ninfa and her son Uriel.  They always have good questions and are open to finding the truth, though there aren't signs of deep acceptance, the surface level signs are encouraging.  Other than that, we spend our Saturdays teaching teenagers about the Bible - they are stepping up a level from learning about grammar & conjugating as part of their Bible lessons to having to pay more attention to lessons and think a little more critically.  We sing, play games, have a lesson and then they fill out worksheets to ensure they are learning the material.  It's actually like school.  Wendy also assigned them the optional task of journaling through the scriptures which is aiding them in a devotional time.  There are prospects of a trip to Tacna with these teens, as well as teens from our other districts in January.  I think this will solidify their understanding of the great network and support of believers from other places beyond their tiny communities.  This is exciting.  Please pray for the contacts that we have to follow through on the meeting times - that we can actually make headway.  Many set a time and then are home, they have no phone number so we can't contact them ahead of time and it takes an hour and a half to get out to them.  Pray for the advancement of the church in this area.
