Almost December Update

Hello brothers and sisters


This last month have been a lot of work and also frustration to be honest. People at the church are not responding as I would like to but God still Sovereign and Powerful to do what I can't. Good news also are that I have a team from Tennessee are coming in December to help work with the kids, approaching they are on vacations. There also will be a friend coming to help me with the church life and visitation for 10 days.

People are the church has become a little bit lazy, and even tho there is 3 people committed, they sometimes get frustrated and discouraged by the rest. I spend as much time with them as I can to encourage them and disciple them. On the other hand there is also 3 new people starting to come eventually to the church and one of them is a very baby believer so that was good. I kind of had a very honest straight talk with them 2 weeks ago about the important of commitment to the church and the effects it does have in the people who comes to visit which I thought they responded good. So I'm trusting for them to grow as we have some studies and also as I trust the Lord to do the work that my words can't.

This was kind of stressful, added with other more personal stress that I had, it kind of was taking my eyes away from the main thing who is God Himself. So I was just doing stuffs because I had to and not enjoying my time with the Lord at all because of it. But the Lord has shown me that if I don't keep Him at first on prayer, devotion and as my main desire, every activity or bible study will be worthless. So keeping Him first has demanded me to put my burdens, stress and frustrations on His shoulders and also pick carefully what battles I'm gonna fight so my heart doesn't faint at trying to look at a 1000 things at the same time. So prayer has been the perfect refuge, and fuel source for my personal life, battles as the future, some friendships, circumstances, personal wants are some battles that I don't need put on me but I must fight to keep the Lord first always, what's best in order to love those around me and the people in Pueblo viejo. I'm not saying those things are not important but I can't just control the outcome of all them but trust the Lord, that He will do what is best.

Prayer Requests

Character: pray that I may grow in humility, love, wisdom and faithfulness. I can't blame situations for how I behave but they always bring what my life needs work on. I'm not perfect but  that's not excuse to not seek diligently and obey the only One who is.

2. Church in Pueblo Viejo: pray that they grow in commitment and a desire to grow themselves and see others come to Christ.

3. Family: pray for my mom who is going through a difficult time right now, and for the salvation of my brother, dad, stepmother, sisters and stepbrother.

4. Pray for the missionaries: Walter Isse, TJ Lindsey, Buddy Fitzgerald, Dan Nagao, Daniel Nunez, Scott Blackburn, Bud Lenz, Caleb Lenz, and Jay Cross.

5. Pastor for next year: pray that God raises someone to take over the ministry when I leave next year.

6. Finances: pray that the Lord helps me to be wise always in spending and administrating the sources I have for His work.

Thank you for reading my update and praying for me,
Feel free to ask any question and let me know how can I pray for you.


PD: the Christmas activity has been cancelled due to commitment issues.

God is Patient with us

Hello my brothers and sisters

This past month has been encouraging having a team working alongside with me for even a few days, CBC from crossville, TN were here helping us with evangelism and visitations. Also encouraging people to be more consistent in their participation with the church. After they left people in pueblo viejo were encouraged to be more consistent in their participation and involvement in the church. Im right now working with the follow up of the people that were contacted that week. 

Church has been inconsistent in its attendance which normally occurs during the raining season, but im so glad that even when I have a lot or little there is few people being consistent in their assistance. I still working on discipleship on saturdays 3pm im teaching theology to a man from another church but lives in the Pueblo Viejo area. There is another group that we are going through the book of 1 John which we are going to finish next saturday. Im adding to my schedule a bible study on the attributes of God on sundays evening and also a new group to disciple on Saturday evening. I also plan to teach partly bible study methods to all te groups little by little so they can grow in how to have a personal bible study.

This is going progressively slow but is going and i have to be patient because there is not so much consistency always. But God doesn't give up on us so I shouldn't give up on them, I think the more I wait for them it gives me time to think how I shouldn't complain about me waiting for it. Which asks the main question: if i cant lovingly wait for them then why am I doing it at all? I think the Lord uses this situations to redirect us to the main motor of our service which is love. In other news I had to move for 5th time which im starting to consider each moving a mission trip but oh well. 

Pray Requests

Character: Pray that I grow in Patience, love, wisdom and faithfulness to God and the preaching of His word always preserving an attitude of humilty.

2. family: pray for some of them to be saved and others to grow in the faith as they walk with the Lord.

3. Church in Pueblo Viejo: pray that they grow in consistency and love for others to start evangelizing and discipling.

4. Pray for the Missionaries in Peru: Walter Isse, TJ Lindsey, Buddy Fitzgerald, Dan Nagao, Daniel Nunez, Scott Blackburn, Bud Lenz, Caleb Lenz.

5. Pastor for Pueblo Viejo: pray for a pastor to come next year to lead the church in pueblo viejo as I leave to the states next year.

6. Finances: Jehova Jireh, He mainly provided a sacrifice on my behalf and also im fine with my monthly expenses while im here. I always need wisdom to use the Lords resources accurately.

7. Christmas in Pueblo Viejo: im planing to do 2 activities in pueblo viejo, 1. Is a christmas for the kids is to have a program where we can feed the kids and give them a christmas gift and also teach them the meaning of Christmas. And 2. Is a dinner with the church members. Im planing to raise 350 dollars of which i already count with 50 and people of the church are planing to cover some of it which would be around 70 dollars. So if you want to bless the kids in pueblo viejo respond the email to give you the methods.

Thank you for reading this update and its an encouragement to hear from you always whether is skype, message or a call. Also I always need your prayers because I need Gods power to be wise and preach in the Spirit..

Love you all 

Edher

PD, to my american brethren: I know you guys are going through a tough election because of the candidates. But let me encourage you to never take your eyes away from the Gospel, the preaching of it will convert souls, whoever gets elected dont forget that the God who created heavens and earth is more than able to bring them to Himself. And never forget that those who oppose you politically are not your enemies but your mission field, what politics can do the power of the Gospel will. Praying that your love don't grow weary but be fueled by the Sovereignty of God.

Affirming and Praying

Hello brethren

Thanks for actually taking the time for reading this letter, the church in Pueblo Viejo has been a little inconsistent again and that is kind of frustrating because im trying to do everything i can on my hands to encourage them but they go back and forth. This is totally teaching me patience as the Lord was patient with me also. Because of that i've decided to be more intentional on discipling people so the Lord has provided so far two opportunities. The first is discipline Sani and her sons and neighbors, we are studying the book of 1 John. Also I was introduced to a man named Zacarias who lives in the area of pueblo viejo but he goes to another church that does not have a pastor, when i met him, he was attending a day seminar lead by a group of pastors from cuzco, they were learning hermeneutics and exegesis. I asked him if he would like someone to come to his house and disciple him, he gladly said yes and now im teaching him on saturdays theology, we are going through doctrine of scriptures. So that is encouraging in contrast of not having a lot of people at church being committed. After both groups we talk and have fellowship so that takes most of my afternoon so im glad im investing that day to disciple.


I still seeking opportunities to keep discipling people, i am praying for them to be stir up to want to learn more of the word of God. I had kind of new experiences for me to counsel like Angel from pueblo Viejo who's partner left with his kid ad he didnt know what to do and he wouldn't listen either but the Lord gave me patience with the situation. Or this other angel who lives in town, he uses drugs to not feel the pain he have with his girl, she works in a bar brothel, and is a mess up situation but is what the Lord has called us to do, to seek what is lost.

There is a few people that are concern for the commitment of the people at church and im trying to spend time with them the most also, so they can learn how to encourage others, this is a hard task because they don't always have time. But we trust the Lord that He will work in a mighty them to draw them to himself.

Pray Requests

Character: pray to keep growing in faith, humility, love and faithfulness to the Lord and showing it to the people. Also for wisdom to respond: there has been a few times when young ladies have asked inappropriate double sense questions to see how far I go in my answer. I mostly ignore it and them in the way but also i dont want to be taken as a Jerk, so pray they can see the love of God as I try to make them see the dignity in them that they dont understand.

2. The church: Pray that the church grows in number but most important in commitment and a passion for the Lord. There is people being awaken but we need to be awaken as a group. Prayer meetings are being more fruitful so PRAISE THE LORD to left and to the right. (If you are baptist you may not be allowed to move) JK

3. Job Interview: i have an interview via Skype on october 3rd to work in the states next summer so i can make money to continue my education. Please pray for this, or for me to find any other job to work to go to school.

4. Next Pastor: because of this, my term ends on april, so pray that the Lord will raise a man to lead the church. There has been a person whom has been asked for it but please pray for it, the church here is also praying for it.

5. Family: pray for my family, that they come to the Lord and for my mom and my sister to be affirmed. They go to the church i go in lima when i am in lima.

6. Missionaries in Peru: Walter and Gabriela Isse (church in lima), Tj and Pamela Lindsey (working with kids in caja de agua) Buddy and Loren Fitzgerald (church in la plaza in PM), Daniel and Becky Nunez (Church in la joya), Bud and Laura Lenz (Orphanage in Peru) Dan and Ruthie Nagao ( deaf church and library), scott and tracy Blackburn (girls rehab house in PM)

7. Finances: The Lord has provided what i need so im grateful for the generosity the Lord uses to bless me. Pray that i always be wise to administrate what He has given to me.

8. Christmas in Pueblo Viejo: im planing and praying to do an activity in Pueblo viejo for christmas, is what we normally do in Peru. The goal is reach 350 dollars and make a program for the kids and feed them. Also give them a christmas gift which not many of them would have the chance to get since pueblo viejo is a very poor area. Consider prayerfully donating for this activity and if you are interested answer this email to check the options.


Thank you for your prayers and your time to read this update.

Missions, Politics and Donald Trump: making the Gospel great again.

Elections are getting closer for my friends at the North of this Continent. And there is only two options Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, most of the people I know are Republicans and they are going to vote for Donald Trump and is ok because of that is their political inclination, they should do it. Now you should have a political position, share your political position but not Idolize it, evangelicals in the USA mostly in the south have traditionally voted republican because most of the candidates sympathized with moral values. Which is great, the problem is when we try to endorse the candidate as a face for what Christianity is.  

 Let me explain, if you are voting for Donald Trump because is the candidate that aligns more to your political views that's good, but say that he is a representation of Christianity?? I wouldn't take that far my friend. I'm glad that people are outspoken about their political opinions in the North but I would like also to be that outspoken about the Gospel, Sound Doctrine and Discipleship. Now as many of you who are reading this are probably Christians, I want to share with you some reasons why you should be wise with your political opinions for the sake of missions in your community and oversees.  

1. Dehumanizing people:  Illegal Immigration, let me talk about your golden calf for a second, yes I think that illegal immigration should be punish it because it's breaking your law, happy? Now the fact that illegal immigration is an issue shouldn't take away our responsibility to share the Gospel, I know you think those illegal people need to go back to their country but they need Jesus the most and I don't think they hearing that from you. Maybe this next president will make your dream come true of kicking them all of your country but then what's next? Will you go to their country and tell them how God loves them while you hated them in yours? I saw this because most of latinos immigrants in the USA have heard more about how they are unwelcome rather than the Gospel.  

 I know you have a political position, but if you are a Christian you know that it doesn't give you the right to dehumanize them of the greatest undeserved privilege you enjoy which is to know God. Illegal people needs Christ, they needed when they all came to this continent and killed all the Indians, mayans and Inkas and they still need Him today as much as you and I do.

   2. Classifying people: not long ago I read a post where a man (trump supporter) was talking about how latinos were ignorant, uneducated and low class people. Apparently he justified himself for the sake of illegal immigration issue, but I know illegal immigration is an issue but you have to insult an ethnic group in order to make your point valid? Isn't that racism?    Preaching heavenly things to people while you shove in their face all their earthly prejudices is certaintly hypocrisy, may some latinos had not the luck of going to school or college but that doesn't make them less worthy as human beings, I don't think you really believe in creation if you can't equally see people as God sees them. Yes, there is some clear limitations some of us have but focusing on them doesn't help us to live for the things above which we claim we hope for. Do you think that on judgement day your immigrant status really will matter? Or will the educated will be more privilege to get Grace rather than the uneducated ones?

   3. Unwholesome talk allowed?: i don't know if you notes but Donald trump likes to talk about things that aren't exactly edifying like some of the members of his body and big this is. I mean I think we are ok with it as long as they kick the immigrants out right? Surely is this how Christianity should be represented? To say Donald Trump is an actual good man and an example is to give room for  disrespectful speech be allowed in our young people, and even adults.  And I'm not adding insults, childish comment and more.

 4. Women are not objects: this man brags of his affairs as a seminary kid brags of his study bible. I don't think we think adultery in the Christian community is okay, even tho a rich powerful men who is running for our favorite party does it, right? Well if you who preach trump more than the Bible are ok with this, then tell the girls in your life that they need to be respected and be look for who they worth. We live in an age where their purity and beauty is strangled and we just so selfish to endorse and lift up a men who collaborated with this. Again is this a Christian principle or a quality in a man worthy to be exalted?  

 5. All Mexicans are bad: apparently Mexico= Latin America for this guy, he once said that mexicans (latinos) don't bring the best to his country, many of them are rapists, murders and more. Well mr trump, neither yours, we have a lot of American tourists coming to buy drugs, encourage human trafficking by consuming prostitution and they have been quite characters like Lori Berenson and people participating in pedophilia here. I think that's not the best of your country neither, but even tho that I won't think that all Americans are the same because is not just right. But you see there that people are sinners doesn't matter where they are from?

   I know you prefer Donald Trump over Hillary, that is okay, just be careful in preaching that he is the model of what's Christians stand for. Because if Americans Christians stand for that, then I'm greatly insulted as a person and as a believer. If you do missions, you have a greater reason to watch out what you stand for, don't forget most of the countries of people you want to kick out, they welcome you when you come for a mission trip. Let's not forget that there are brothers and sisters illegally in the whole world killed by the Gospel, and we will die for politics rather than for the Gospel. 

   I understand the desire many of you have to see their country as they used to be, and see people coming to Christ but law enforcement is okay but that's not the Gospel. Make the Gospel great again by making it your priority and may God have mercy and make your country great, God is sovereign my friend and this is more than a cliche. May the Lord have mercy on us and we look at the heavenly things, the things above and truly looking at them because whoever becomes the president won't alter the course of your eternity if you are in Christ. It's an indictment to our own faith to live obsesibly concerned by our earthly destiny without looking to the heavenly Kingdom.

   Praise the Lord that He will come for those whom He saved from every tribe, tongue and nation.          

Back to the field

Hello brethren i was taking a little while to write my report and what happens is that i was busy doing some stuffs here and catching up with the church here in Puerto. It has been a great encouragement to talk to the people and hear how the Lord has blessed them in their time here with Dan ad Ruthie, i've been blessed of having them helping while i am gone. The church is going through a transition of affirmation, so they can be solid in their faith, so i will be working for opportunities to disciple the people in pueblo viejo in their houses through small groups. Praise the Lord i already have two scheduled and one of them is a man who goes to another church but is willing to invest his weekends in learning more about the word of God. Also Dan and Ruthie has been a huge help during this transition so the people has been able to see the picture of Christ and His church through a marriage working in it for a while.


Finally, i found a mini apartment and i think i will stay here until i leave next year, praise the Lord for that, we are going to start to gather on the last sunday of the month at evenings to share a meal and have fellowship in the church. That will help them with fellowship and getting to know each other more. Im also encouraging them to invite people to the church, they have expressed before that they want to see the church grow and people in pueblo viejo get saved but now im teaching a little more of their part in evangelizing. Pray that their hearts will be prepared during this time so they can learn to share the good news with others.

Most men still resisting to the idea of coming to church but i still talk with many of them during the week so pray for them: Angel, Enrique, Celso, Chita and Erik. Thank you for praying for the church here.

Prayer requests

Character: pray that i grow in humility, love, faithfulness and self control as i am working here
Pueblo viejo: the church can be affirmed and the church may grow according to God's will but also be faithful in the sound teaching
Family: my mom keeps going to church and praying with my sister so i can confidently say they are also my family in Christ. Keep praying for my brother Johnny, dad Juan , sister Kyara, step mom Elizabeth and step brother Ricardo.

Thank you all for your prayers
I aprecciate them, feel free to ask any question you want And tell me how i can pray for you.

Living in holiness is not legalism

As relativism advances in the church on this postmodern world we hear people shouting in group of voices phrases like: Christianity is not rules is a relationship, you don't have to be holy to be a Christian, we are all broken and need to be fixed and I can go on and on and you will think this post is about a contemporary worship song, well no it's not.

Let me say first that yes Christianity is about a relationship and yes we are broken but these things are only one side of the coin, if we read carefully these statement it reflects the voice of a generation of church attenders and Christians who openly oppose to obedience, they won't say it like that but they will kind of say things that suggest it. We all want to hear, say and believe the pseudo psychological statement of I'm broken/ i sin / feel sorry about me/ just don't say anything to me about it.

Now this is a dangerous trend because if we don't have to obey we basically can do whatever we want and still being saved. A group of people demand experience, but not just of living but of sin because it makes it more appealing and interesting to play the game of how far the line I can get and still being a Christian. Before they know it, they are already in the other side. 

Now living in obedience is described as living in holiness, the word holy means to be 'set apart' to live in holiness means to walk in the position of being set apart from the world. So holiness is not the enemy of fellowship with God but the basis of it and the confirmation of our position. (1 Peter 1:16, 2:9-12) so it's Christianity about relationship and not rules? Well there is not rules that take you to heaven only putting your trust in the work of Christ but obedience to Christ is going to be the term and evidence of the relationship, he said “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15.

We don't obey to be holy but we obey because we are holy, we don't work hard to be set apart by God in order to be His people but we are set apart therefore we walk in obedience to Him. Those who walk in obedience will do it with joy for they will see the salvation that God has set before them. This means they are perfect? No, this means that they grow in repentance and forgiveness, holiness is not about perfection but is about walk towards Christ which one day will result in perfection when we see him for second time. 

Holiness is not prideful, a Christian doesn't boast in his obedience but boast that even tho he is fallen there is a God who always forgives him when he comes to Him. He sees that is not a free card to sin but is a privilege which should be taken with reverence. Yes we are broken and all that but if you don't come to Christ, all that brokenness you talk about is just pride, just because you refuse to come to the one who is able to put us together.

Holiness will be more sensitive to sin, a person who walks in obedience will be more aware of sin in their lives and will seek God for repentance and faith to live with a clean conscience and because they love God. May the sin he repents are absurd for other people, and they are not it is that he has become more intimate in his relationship with God and for him that's the most important relationship he have.

Holiness is about knowing God, the most important part of obedience is to know who you are obeying to which at the beginning is your  Loving Lord and Savior. And later he becomes the Sovereign one reigning in your life, Almighty, Omniscient, Immutable and always Faithful, and much more. Our view of God will increase our desire to live for Him and our love for Him.

We live in Holiness because we've been born in the Spirit, when God saves us He give us the Holy Spirit as a helper to live the Christian life. To look to out failures and brokenness and a big obstacle for obedience is to diminish the power that is within us for living the Christian life. Do you believe the Spirit is as powerful God says He is? 

I've seen people growing through disciple and people quickly applaud them as heroes while those who want to live righteously are being treated as the curse to the world. Impurity shouldn't never be applaudable in the church but we must go treat in mercy, love and grace to those whom have failed. But for those who are obeying and want to obey, don't get discouraged, your obedience will sometimes be an indictment to those who haven't resolve their conscience because of sin that's why they will be hostile to you. But behold, there is our God able to deliver us and make us show mercy to those who mock us and disrespect us. We are not legalistic since we are not imposing a work to be saved but we are encouraging to those who claim to be saved show some works for to the name of Jesus is worthy and if we are going to carry it, let's show His worth.Rejoice that He has put His Spirit in you.

“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”

Hebrews 8:7-10 NKJV

Enjoying Opportunities

Hello Brothers and Sisters, 

The time here has been busy so I wasn't able to write an early report as I wanted to but also I'm trusting that the Lord Sovereignty allow me to wait until today so I could testify of somethings which happened this week.

Things in Puerto are going good, Dan and Ruthie Nagao are doing an awesome job in plugging the church together while I am here, there are always an encouragement when I'm there and so its good to have them working there. People are coming but some of them are kind going back and forth so pray that the Lord gives them conviction to be consistent in their walk and assistance to church. Dan and Ruthie has been receiving teams and friends helping them with their ministry and the church in pueblo Viejo, also now they have a relative visiting so pray that the Lord brings rest and refreshment to them through it. 

I've seen the wisdom and faithfulness of God going through all my life since, I started working at the airport and practice my English, when I would go to this ESL bible study hosted by the IMB, when I begin to work a an interpreter. And clearly I could see the purpose the Lord had in this trip, even tho if I kind of consider it unwise to be this long, the Lord's wisdom was demonstrated through it. At the beginning was a lot of questions of what I would do, but the Lord put me to rest at the beginning and showed me why I needed to rest even tho I thought I didn't deserve it and I needed to be doing something when I was here. Also I had the opportunity to serve in a youth conference in the institute I graduate from and it was really neat to see how some members of my team were encouraged to be content with the Lord rather than just win the competitions. On the last day, one of the girls of the team testifies of how the team was encouraging to her because we seek to have enjoyment working as a team for the Lord rather than just do stuff, so that was great. Also I had an amazing co captain who helped a lot, it was a good time in general.

Also I was doing some fundraising to get some tools I need, through yard sale and through working, so I had the opportunity to do some work this week. My other highlight of this trip after the youth conference, has been working for this old retired couple. They served at small southern baptist churches and it really encouraged me their faithfulness. He says that the Lord was calling him to minister at small churches and even tho it wouldn't be financially easy for him, but he worked and minister sometimes while she even tho knowing this man calling, she was with him always. They always talked about the goodness of God in their lives and how He gave them what they've need even tho wasn't a lot, but you could see the contentment and the joy of the Lord in them. I've heard many people talk about being satisfied in Christ, mostly in the subject of singleness which is kind of annoying sometimes, but interacting with this couple I just would hear them and see them and I've learned what does it mean to be satisfied in Christ. Satisfaction in Christ is to be faithful to your calling in an age of success because there is more important things to live for. So many people talk about satisfaction in Christ and how satisfied they must be but this couple just kept talking of the Lord's goodness and their gratefulness for it and I just could see what it looks like to be satisfied in Christ. Ive been really encouraged by them.

If you read this report on Sunday, July 17, pray for me as I go to preach at 2 churches and also working this week, I've really enjoyed hard work a lot. On the 26 I'm flying to NJ and maybe visiting with some friend but mostly seeing family so pray for the opportunities to share Christ with them.

Pray requests:

1.  Character: pray that I can be quicker to listen so I can keep learning from other people and also to walk in humility, love and faithfulness to the Lord.

2. Pueblo Viejo: pray for the people at pueblo Viejo and they can be changed by the power of God, and they get saved and the people who are going to church to be established in the Gospel.

3. Dan and Ruthie: pray as they minister in pueblo Viejo the Lord empowers them and encourages them as they share the goodnews with others.

4. Chacapampa: for those who don't know, I did spend a little over 2 months at the mountains and there was this couple Rita and Espiritu, Rita was pregnant and there as a risk on her pregnancy but she is ok and the baby also so praise the Lord, keep praying for them and their kids. Also for Jonathan and Franz, for Hermes, Luis and Silvio and the missionaries Liz and Henry.

5. Missionaries in Peru: Pray for TJ and Pamela Lindsey as they minister in Caja de Agua with the kids ministry, Buddy and Loren as they lead the church near by the main square in Puerto, Bud and Laura Lenz as they lead their orphanage in Cuzco and Puerto. Daniel and Becky Nuñez as they lead their church a little farther from town, Scott and Tracy Blackburn as they have the girls home.

6. Family: pray for my mother as she gets discipled and encouraged by the Ladies of my church back in Lima.

7. Mission teams: pray that there may be more mission groups encouraged to come to Puerto, whether I'm there or not whom can be an encouragement to the people there and also the local missionaries. If you, your church are interested in doing a short term trip for a week or a month or few weeks and months. Write back so I can share with you show you could help us, also if you are a doctor it would be helpful to have you for medical campaigns.

8. Finances: the Lord has been good in providing some jobs for fundraising to get some tools so pray that I can get more work this week before heading to NJ so I can do it. 

If you have any questions, suggestions or complains :D answer back this email and also let me know how can I be praying for you. Really please like #praying.

Love you all

Edher
