Thanks for all your prayers for the team of short term missionaries that came to do Evangelism at the biggest Catholic festival that occurs in the town we live in. God really blessed us and the team was even allowed to present on main stage twice! The street Evangelism went well also and so did the rural communities we took the team to!
 
Christians from town said they NEVER saw an Evangelistic effort during this wicked festival of idolatry. Thanks for your prayers! They made a difference!

The Virgin of the Stone Festival

From the 10th to the 17th the celebrations for the Virgin of the Stone (patron idol of the town we live in) will be happening. The festivities are the biggest event in this town and attracts as many as 10000 people from all around this area. There will be daily masses, many street vendors and wild music concerts that go till 4 in the morning every day. Of course drugs, alcohol and promiscuity are also one of the main ingredients of this idolatrous celebration. This event has been going on since the late 17 hundreds after the statue was claimed to have been found in a cave close to town.

The Virgin of the Stone has been a stumbling block for many to give there lives over to Jesus as the  tradition goes back a far way in the lives of all from this area.

We will be receiving a group of 15 YWAM part time missionaries who will be doing street evangelism during these days.
Please pray that many will be set free from the bondage of sin that enslaves them!
Your prayers are as important as us going out to share the Good News!

Where did July go?

 In the first two weeks of July we managed to get new Bible studies going in 2 new rural villages! This was awesome and is the fruit of the prayers of many! Picture of old school building we used for Bible study!
 The last two weeks of July were spent at Grandpa and Grandmas! We travelled the 550 miles over to visit my parents and help at Camp Victoria. We had an awesome time and it was great to speak to the teens during the last week of camp.
The new truck has been great and we used it to travel to my parents. Got great diesel to the km mileage!
Anyways July just rushed by but was great!
