Newsletter Summer

Greetings from Lima, Perú!

It has been so long since the last time I wrote you. I have been quite busy hosting teams from YWAM and getting ready for our summer missionary camp.

I would like to tell you all the great things God has been doing with Youth with a Mission in our country.

This past December we had our “North Cone Ywam Conference” in Lima. It was an awesome time with all the YWAMers from Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. Also, it was a time of reaffirming the northern zone leadership’s commitment with the pioneering of Ywam Lima. There are 10 staff who work with YWAM Lima.

Right now, we are getting ready for our summer missionary camp called: Materia Prima, (Raw Material) which will last 12 days.  We will start this Tuesday 26^th and go until February 7^th. The first 5 days we are going to train between 40 and 50 young people from different churches in Lima and surrounding cities. Then, we will take them on a week of outreach working with the local churches preaching the gospel. In those 12 days we want to see God doing amazing things in the lives of these young people and we know He will use them to bring people to His Kingdom.

This time of getting ready for “Materia Prima” has been very stressful, but God has surprised us greatly. We received a donation of a sound system and medical kits and we have the spiritual support from the Pittsburgh and Boston YWAM bases. We are so grateful to them because, even though they are not here with us this year, they are supporting us with their prayers. They have believed in us from the beginning, Materia Prima has been born from all their years of coming to Peru.

After this camp, we are planning on going to an international trip to The Amazon. We want to challenge the kids to believe in God for greater things. We feel this is the time for Peruvians to go out into the Mission Field. God has placed in our hearts to go to the borders of Perú, Colombia, and Brazil, reaching out to the native communities with the Gospel of Christ.

Prayer Request:

• ·For Materia Prima camp, to be a great time where God will reveal his purposes and calling to all the young Peruvians and that they may be used to bring the Good News of Jesus.

•  For our International Outreach. That God will provide the finances for the staff and the youth. Also, for safe travel to the Amazon as well as the native communities that will be going to. (February 27th till March 10^th)

• · For a revival among the Peruvian young people and passion to fulfill the Great Commission.
