Hello Everyone,

Greetings from Lima, Perú.

I am so excited to tell you that Materia Prima youth camp was amazing. We had a good time there. It has been such a different experience for me, I was en charged of organizing it. The experience was awesome! I had an amazing team who helped me with all the details, decorations, outreach set up and promotion.

In the past we did it with the help, financial support and guidance of Pittsburgh YWAM base, but this year we did it ourselves. We have learned so much from them and I am so thankful of being part of them and now, being able of doing it.

Materia Prima has the same heart of knowing God and making him know, but it is design for Peruvians to Peruvians. Wanting to raise up our own people and challenge them to go deeper with the Lord and believe in the great calling God has given to the Peruvians.

We had 20 young Peruvian from all over Lima. The first five days we taught them how to listen God’s voice trained them on sharing and defending their faith, taught them some dramas and dances, ministering and spending time with them.

After that time, we split in two teams for the outreach phase. My team ministering in the south part of Lima: in Surco and San Juan de Miraflores. We had a good time there. We went to different plazas, markets, busy streets, door to door preaching the gospel. They were so passionate about God that they didn’t miss any opportunity of sharing God’s love to the people.

Team 2

The last night I was there, I started talking with a girl who was really seeking God but she didn’t know how or where to find him. So, I started talking about how is really God to me and my relationship with Jesus. She was so ready to accept Him. She just needed someone to explain her. It was cool to be used by God allowing me to share with her about God. I know that was something that God prepared for her: a divine appointment.

In those 7 days we had 672 salvations in both teams. It was a great time! We not only share God’s love to the people but also we took time to listen to the kids and ministering to them one by one.

Now, we are planning on take 8 of them to the Amazon of Peru, Colombia and Brazil. I am so excited to take this team of young Peruvians to the Nations. This is one of my dreams coming true.

I need your prayer and support for this great challenge because this is going to be my first time leading an oversea trip. I ask you for your prayers for me and my brother who will be leading the team. Pray for our safety and open hearts to share God´s love to people in the communities in Peru and in Colombia and Brazil.
