A note from the orphanage

Those of us staying at the orphanage are having a great time! This afternoon we went to a bible study Lauren led for new believers. They sang songs in Spanish and English, which was amazing to listen to! Lauren taught them from James. Even though most of us don't speak Spanish, we could tell what a great job she did! This evening we went to another bible study with her for some of the older boys. They are so much fun! Evan played the guitar and sang, and the boys loved it - he has another engagement tomorrow! The study was about Jesus washing the disciples feet, and then we got to wash the boys' feet. It was really neat.

After doing a little craft prep for tomorrow, we went to eat at the "chicken shack" - fabulous!

Thanks for you prayers!

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.
