PRAYERS
Please pray for Joshua and Amanda as they serve the Lord in Peru. Ask God to give them and their children peace as they transition to life in Peru, learning the culture and the Spanish language so they may effectively communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ. Please pray that the Holy Spirit works mightily through the reading and proclamation of the Word to create and sustain faith in the hearts of those individuals who hear it. In addition, please ask God to strengthen and give joy to Joshua has he works to plant new churches and mission centers.
