After the first update many things has changed, being in missions last week was refreshing, as well being with people from the USA helped me a lot with my reverse culture shock. So as well seeing what God was doing on that little town down the mountains made me more sensitive to the need there. There is a lot more openness to the word of God but pray that people can make it a priority.
So Caleb is coming today, and we are heading tomorrow for puerto, please keep us in your prayers and help us with your prayers to do the work that only God can succeed.
Probably one thing is that I was very caught up with my needs and wondering how I would supply them. But I was forgetting a promise that God has given me on His word: “For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:32-34 ESV
So suddenly I'm encouraged to press on, because God will supply of He wants me to keep doing missions and traveling if He doesn't, He has provided me with a healthy body to work :) and I have a commandment to carry with life for ever if I truly been born again, which is Make Disciples. Let's rejoice for God's goodness today.
This are the pray requests
Puerto trip with Caleb: pray that we have wisdom in how to handle things and how we can do things in the best way possible. To be a blessing to those who are already there.
Character: God gives me faithfulness to press on and as well build me in His word with gentleness and humility. Love be my reason, and honor to God be my priority for anything that I attempt to do.
Chacapampa: this is a little town up the mountains, I may be going there from August all the way to October. I still need to arrange details but is almost certainly that I will be going to help 2 missionaries already working there. I'm praying that I be helpful and learn to move out if I'm not being help for them.
Family: my mom seems to be a new convert yet but her character inflicts with herself. I haven't been able to go through baptism, I may encourage her to do it but not push her. Let her take initiative, pray that the new heart in her be more manifest. As well pray that my family gets saved and understands what I'm doing, I don't feel they always do because of their pressures.
Finances: my spirituality is more important than my support, if I'm a man who's character will honor God, then He will supply for His work, if not I will do what I'm called to do, work. As well if God open the door to keep working as missionary, I'm thinking in the possibility to make a business to become self sustaining at long term. Now is this the wisest decision? Only God knows.
Visa: I'm planing to come back at the end of April next year, so pray that I get my visa paper done work by January of next year. (Conforming the time goes by I will be updating more about this)
Thanks for your prayers and keep asking questions and feel free to dig more into this email, curiosity doesn't bother me.
Love you and Miss you all
Edher
