Peru Benefit Christmas Concert

On Sunday evening we enjoyed a wonderful time of worship at the Peru Benefit Christmas Concert. The concert featured Kevin Eubanks. God has blessed Kevin with amazing musical ability, and he uses that talent to bring glory to God.

Several others added their musical talents to the evening through singing and playing. Thank you to everyone who had a part in this wonderful evening!

One of the Peru team members, Tracy, wrote a song based on Psalm 91. The Peru team joined her on stage to sing this song, proclaiming our trust in God for all things.

The Peru team (minus a few who slipped out before the picture,

and a few who couldn't be there Sunday evening.)

Again, we say thank you to all who contributed their talents to the program and also to everyone who contributed financially - over $11,000 was given on Sunday evening! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Our Story

January 2 - 10, 2010 thirty-one members and friends of Southmont Baptist Church traveled to Sagrada Familia Communidad de Ninos, an orphanage near Lima, Peru. The team conducted Vacation Bible School for the children, taught ESL classes, provided training for the teachers at the orphanage school, and helped with construction of the second floor of the school. God has done amazing things since that trip! Two of the team members, Lauren and Nancy, returned to the orphanage to teach in the school. They are also leading many Bible studies in the orphanage. They have begun working with the community surrounding the orphanage, teaching the Bible in some of the public schools, and starting a house church. A group of college students from Southmont traveled to the orphanage in May to lead a backyard Bible club and work on projects around the orphanage. Lauren and Nancy have begun to see a harvest, as children and adults are committing their lives to follow Christ!

Please join us in praying...

... for the team that God is assembling to travel to Peru in December.

... for the plans and preparations for our upcoming trip, that God will lead us in preparing for the job He has for us to do.

... that God will continue to move in the hearts of His children in Peru, that we would see a great harvest!

... for Nancy and Lauren as they finish up their first year teaching at the orphanage, continuing to share the Gospel through word and deed.

... for all those in Peru who were, and continue to be, touched by the gospel of Jesus Christ through our involvement as well as the involvement of other Christians. Pray that they will commit their lives to following Christ.
