In my last letter I was really unsure of where I was going or if I would keep working in missions but the Lord has answer my prayers in light of my petitions and your intercession as well.
Lately life has been a little bit crazy, trying to settle things and schedule things, the Lord has provided to go to the jungle and I'm flying on Wednesday 18 to Puerto Maldonado to work in a church in a little town called pueblo viejo, I will be doing the work of a Pastor like discipleship, evangelism, teaching, visiting and more, I will stay in puerto right first until December 12 and then going back in January 10 that time in between will be to spend time with my family for the holidays and enjoy them as much as I can because I will be gone most of the time after January 10 and as well to do any kind of paperwork I need to do for the elections next year.
The Lord never leave us alone but He make us aware of His presence by tight circumstances or situations, I'm glad and honored to serve this God who not only give promises but also fulfills them. So I'm glad that I'm gonna be a full time missionary in Puerto but as well I think this is a time where the Lord is calling me to be aware more of His presence. My possibilities in the field are not subject to my gifts or my potential of effectively but to the Spirit of the Lord working in me. Thanks so much for praying with me and for me all this journey and I encourage you to keep praying for me.
Pray Requests:
Chacapampa: pray for the people in there and for the missionaries Liz and Henry, I know that Henry just had an accident and wasn't able to go back for the last 2 weeks but pray that he gets better soon, also pray for Rita and Espiritu as they continue to grow in the Lord and Jhonathan and Franz as they continue to see the Lord. Pray for the Lord to be glorified through the conversion of people in there.
Family: pray for my family as I'm gonna spend time with them in December, it's easy to get off focus of what I do and why I do what I do. But they are assimilating well, little by little. Pray that they come to repentance and faith, also my sister Nicole seems to be interested in the scriptures and God and she seems to look up about what I would have to say about issues. I just want them to be saved and pray that I can share the Gospel to them by words and living before them.
Puerto trip: there is somethings I still need to coordinate but most of the trip is settled, pray that I can ministry from the Lord and I can be an encouragement to local believers and foreign missionaries. I know a group of people in Puerto whom I think and I want to have a consistent fellowship so pray for me to develop that so I'm not alone. Pray for wisdom for me and as well prudence when I have to talk with women while I'm in there. Also pray that God raise godly girls or a couple who can do visitations with me while I'm there because I need to be careful with discipline or advicing women. Pray that I can make the word of God my main priority, spend a good bit on the week, studying it and preparing things prayerfully. And as well my devotional time with the Lord so I don't become a big head person, I know I'm weak but also I know that God is Almighty and that makes my weakness irrelevant if I'm depending on Him.
Character: pray that the Lord build me in the likeness of His son, which I'm gonna admit sometimes is hard, because my heart can be prideful, and deceive me into assumptions that are not true but leads me to insecurity. But also the Lord is being merciful because I'm not blind to this but He is allowing me to see it so I can keep pursuing Him. Pray that I can be characterized by love and humility and always respond in wisdom and kindness being always faithful to the Lord and His word.
Help: pray for people come alongside with me and work in Puerto, also if you would like to come visit me and help let me know.
Finances: the Lord has provided what it's needed and pray for wisdom in the administrations of these gifts and also always thank God for the smallest thing I have. Thanks God for His provision.
Thanks so much for your prayers and please feel free to ask any question, and please let me know how can I pray for you.
Love
Edher
