Thanks for all of your prayers everybody.
Yesterday afternoon we had a very interesting meeting with the city officials. Really long story, but the short is that they have a big problem here in Coracora with men abusing women, and the city officials want us to help with this social problem in anyway we can. So this morning they took us to the women´s shelter to meet with the workers who are there. We found that they have about 370 known cases that they´re working with currently, and that´s only of the women who will come forward and speak with them. We told them that we would have to talk among our churches to see how we could help in future trips. Needless to say, I think this could be a huge inroads into the lives of many people.
Last night we spent time working with Yulber again. I tried to cram everything I learned in a semester of Bible Study Methods from seminary into one night. He caught on fairly well. Tonight we are going to have a group meeting with all the believers and Yulber will preach, so this will be good to see.
Tomorrow is our last day. We leave Coracora at 3pm. So, Yulber asked if he could come at 6am for Bible study and then again at lunch...what an awesome desire for God´s Word!!!
Pray for us as we finish our time in Coracora and then take the bus back to Lima. The ride is 3pm Wed to 10am Thurs.
In Jesus...

It's great to hear of what's going on there. We will continue to pray as we are aware of the needs there & for you & Tom as well. I think I'd sit on that pillow you took for the bus ride back home:) We are praying for Yulber as well-that he'll be firmly grounded in the teachings of Christ & grow daily. Safe travels home & we'll see ya when we c ya!! Mack & Sandy
