The Bridge Church of Snohomish, Washington has sent two of their elders, Troy and Jake to check out our ministry here in Peru. (We made these plans before we decided to spend extra time in language school...so unfortunately we aren't there in Pucallpa, in a home, and they couldn't stay in the guest room that doesn't exist yet!)
The Bridge is a supporting church of ours and we've been blown away by their love and involvement in our lives since we met them last September. They have shown us such love, not only does the church itself support us, but many families in the church do as well. We have been so blessed by their prayers and encouragement! They gave us a huge financial gift to help us greatly in our start-up costs that we are completely humbled by! A few members sent us Spanish books and materials and a care-package of highly treasured items (peanut butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, poptarts, and more!).
They arrived early Saturday morning, slept some, and then went to lunch with us and Julio and Olga Chiang (our church planting pastor/boss). We talked about various possibilities for them if The Bridge brought a team down. Marshall took them to Pucallpa yesterday (I stayed in Lima) and from what I understand are getting a good dose of the jungle heat! =)
Please continue to pray for us as we all work together to see God's kingdom grow!!
