Trip to Yauyos

Another mission and another town this time was in Yauyos, but really was in Catahuasi a nice town with a good weather. Catahiuasi was our fortress because during the week we visit many towns around Catahuasi.

We were in a reunion from a church in a town that I didn’t remember the name, the reunion was really nice, we sang some old chorus and there were many people there. This was one of the highest points of the trip.

The second day we were around Catahuasi giving glasses to the people, playing with kids and sharing the gospel. The third day we were in a town called Huallampi we teach about water filters and share the gospel with the kids, and also we saw a Turkeys fight.

The fourth day we were in the morning in Catahuasi and we have a little problem with some Nouns that I thinks were the dogs of the Pope. In the evening we hit the road and go to Catra a town two hours away from Catahuasi, we stayed in the mayor building and the fifth day we play with kids in the mayor square, share some glasses and preach the gospel and during the night we have a service in the mayor building with Pastor Roberto and some believers from the town, after of that we hit the road to Catahuasi again.

The last two days we were in Catahuasi hanging around searching for opportunities to preach the gospel and the last day we have a reunion in a town called Pueblo Antiguo, we play with the kids and share the gospel with the people and have a funny time.

Was a nice trip and the word of God was shared and that is the most important thing in the end.

Trip to San Juan de Lurigancho

Hit the road again and put our bones in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho the bigger district in Lima that want to became a province and also need the Word of God. They cry for the gospel of Jesus.

We went in this trip with some old buddies , we have a big expectation ,because we know that God will show his big power in this trip and also that the Holy Spirit was working in that place days before the trip because the people that was praying for the trip.

We work all the days in a Medical Campaign in a new church leading by Pastor Cesar and his wife, two brave brothers in Christ.

The first day I was working with a young lady called Jessica, but she spoke Spanish very well, so I decided move to another part and in the end work in water filters with Becky and Pastor Bob, the second day was the same but this time with a very nice lady called Connie and I became an expert in water filters stuff.  But that evening I became also helping in counseling and in the end I work there during all the week.

The rest of the week was basically the same working in counseling with some other guys and many people became to the feet of Jesus and some of them also come back to listen the teachings to the new believers . I feel so happy in Counseling.

Some of the guys went to the school and others were to play with kids, but everyone put his part in preaching the gospel of God. A very intense week, but preaching the gospel is so wonderful.

There were some things to correct in the future, but the trip was really good and the word was seed, I want to mention the great heart of people like Doug who preach to everyone and also Larry who sing so good.

I’m expecting for the things that God has in stock for the next year. 

Trip to Huayacundo Arma

Huayacundo Arma is a place that have a special place in my heart, everytime that I return to this town my heart start to beat so fast because I has so many nice memories in that town and so many friends too.

The opportunity comes after a pray and some news about the place because some friends have been there for two weeks before my arrive, my dear friend Carmen was working there with Leslie and also she went to Quito Arma to stayed one week there with Clay McKinney and Garet West two wonderful guys with a big heart for God, I not have the opportunity to work with them because they stayed in Quito Arma with Vladimir another interpreter and me and Carmen stayed in Huayacundo with a team from Texas, a new team really.

Well I and Carmen worked with eight people four old man and four teenagers, this was funny because all the people in the team was nice but was really funny because we divided the team in two groups Carmen work with three old man Louis, Pam and Beth and I worked with the teenagers one, Pastor Jeff has its own schedule.

The days that we passed there were wonderful, trying to play soccer and trying to put a good face in some stuff that require of our patience, but the most wonderful thing was share the Bible with the kids in the school with the kids. Also we have meetings in the evening sharing about the Bible and answering questions.

The people from the town were very smart, they ask very hard questions for example at school they ask about the position of God in relation to the abortion in a mother with risk of die and also they ask about the name of God, Another funny thing was that the kids know many about the Bible and we have to be very smart for share something new for them.

Even though some problems among people of the town, the trip was a blessing and we had the opportunity to preach the gospel and see how the people have hungry for God and also our friends like Bryan my good friend who is growing and is reading his Bible too.

I know that we see the hand of God in Huayacundo in the time of God; we know that the people bow his knees before God and they proclaim that the salvation belong to our God.

We know for sure that God is working and we have to keep this town in own prays we will see great things in the future, we know for sure.

1 Corinthians 15:58 

Trip to Chincha

Another trip to Chincha with E3 Partners is always a new adventure travel with these guys because they are big teams, this time we were like sixty people among interpreters and missionaries and there is always a medical campaign for help people who need spiritual and psychical help.

Well we get to our hotel and this time we stayed in two different hotels, the teams were divided in seven teams and every one go to a different town. I have to work with a little girl of fourteen years old called Riley and with a couple and also with my friend Carlos and another guy from Chincha called Deisey who I dint know.

We work with a Pastor called Edgar who has a church called El Gran Trono Blanco (The Big White Trone). This church have also four sister churches and we go to work in one of that churches in a poor place called Señor de Los Milagros.

The days were almost the same every day, we preach in the mornings and in the evening some of the guys teach to the new believers and the other guys played with kids, I played with the kids and was very funny.

One of the most amazing things about this trip was see how most of the people who we preach the gospel receive Jesus in his heart, the show an open heart to the word of God. But even more wonderful was the fact that many people come at the evening to attend the classes for new believers.

What more can I say? The Medical Campaign was a successful, the brothers and sisters from the church have a big heart for God and the preaching the gospel without taking a breath. Also there was a little girl called Milagros who stole my heart, she gave the story of the evangelism cube and also she kept one for preach his little friends about Jesus. 

I know that the fruits will come in God time, and also I hope go back soon to visit my buddies in Christ.

Please pray for Pastor Edgar, Sister Consuelo and the others brothers in the church. 

Trip to Tapacocha (Ancash)

I hit the road again and reach the town of Tapacocha in Ancash preaching the most powerful message in the entire world in a very heart stone town, but for God nothing is impossible and this town must to hear the gospel.

This was a very hard trip because for me was very  hard understand to the missionaries because they come from Ohio and they speak differently , but with God help that problem was fixed , another problem was the town because they drink a lot and that was a very sad.

Basically during the week we always play with the kids and if we have the opportunity we talk with some people, God is good and during the week that we stayed in Tapacocha there was a sport festival and people from other towns come to Tapacocha and that was a great opportunity to open relations with people from other towns for future trips.

The believers were few and they have reunions just sometimes for have some Bible studies, but we have the opportunity to go to a town called Cotaparaco where the brothers and sisters have reunions four times per week and we have the opportunity to be in a reunion and was a beautiful time that keep in our minds and in our hearts and for sure was the best experienced in all the week.

Is so sad see the heart of stone of the people, their hearts are rooted in traditions whiteout sense, but also is always wonderful how the kids have an open heart for the Lord, I never forget the conversation that I had with a kid called Jack. We were talking about Noah and he told me that his friends mocked of him in the school because he preaches the gospel, but he doesn’t care and keep preaching the gospel with their little friends.

I have faith and I know that this town will open his eyes in time, and the believers will reach the town in the time of God.

Please pray for Jose and Claudia in Tapacocha and for Moses and the believers in Cotaparaco.

Trip to Cordova (Huancavelica)

Back in Cordova for the second time, was a surprise for me get back to Cordova because I suppose that i was going to another town, but God gave me the opportunity to get back to this beautiful place where God is making amazing things.

My friend Erick and other four people were working there for some weeks before and also a team from Texas was working with for a week and they leave one day before we arrive. So we were twelve people working there.

We divided in teams and every day was almost the same, but also every day was a new and special adventure for us. Some of the guys with me go to other towns to preach the gospel, play with kids and also working helping people in their diary work. Some of the guys also go to the school and others stay in town walking around and preaching the gospel with the people in the town.

In the evenings all the teams goes to a Hotel to have a Bible study and one of my best friends was in charge of the Bible study and he did an amazing work.  

The high points were for sure the baptism of Ruth and Sidney two beautiful girls teenagers who decide left behind the world and said to Jesus that he will be the only one in their lives. The other high point was when another teenager called Carlos gives a powerful testimony.

This was an awesome weekend because we had the privilege to see the first fruits in this place, God is doing amazing things there and we know that there is a lot of work to do, but God is working there for sure and many great things will come in the near future.

Please keep in your prayers to Ruth, Sidney, Carlos and Jose de la Cruz, pray for them to be a light in the community and thought them many come to know Jesus. Pray also for Erick who will stay in Cordova for two years and also for Big Josh who will stay there until August, pray for strength to keep doing the good work. 

Mission trip to Huaral with E3 Partners

I’m sitting now in the lobby of the Hotel because tomorrow iI have to go to Huancavelica to a village called Cordoba


This trip to Huaral was a blast, a blessing because God show his power and many souls came to Jesus.


For me this was my first trip with a huge group, 65 people among missionaries and interpreters. 


My first day was crazy because i knew a person in the bus and we talk and practice a little bit and i think that maybe i can share with her the week being her interpreter, but God has other plans for me. 
When the assignments came, they divided the people in seven teams and one interpreter go with one missionary. They put me with a missionary called Kevin from Alabama a huge man, bald like me and with a heart like a kid, he loves ride motorbikes and also he got a lot of injuries for that reason. 
The team was completed with Mrs. Debbie and old lady with a big heart for missions and Daniel a smart child and also my friends Sandra and Martin who is one of the most wonderful interpreters that i know, that was our team, for me they were great. 


We go to work in a place call “El Palmo” who was in the past a red flag placed packed with drug addicts and dealers, nobody were able to go to that place in the past, but now thanks God 90% of the place is clean, there are some drug addicts but not like in the past. 


We work with a church called “Camino de Salvacion” with Pastor Jose Salinas a true men of God committed with the gospel till the bones, he work with five beautiful princess called Justina old, Justina, Angelica,Clorinda and Karen who have also a passion in their hearts for missions.


We meet some ex drug addicts our first day, the second day w ego to church and find the sisters praying to the Lord was very intense because they were bow down and i we were touched for them.


Our days were the usually first go to the church,then go to preach, then get back and lunch and go to preach again and in the evenings we play with kids, the last two days we go to visit the people who give his live to Jesus  and give them some homework and in the last day we have a medical clinic and we have the possibility to talk with a lot of people and much of them became to Jesus. 
One of the best moments in this trip was go to a place went drugs addicts were gathered, we pray for them and i remember one of them called Jorge Ruiz who pray with us and when we were walk around we see him again and he was upset because we has a child and he want to see him, but when we called to phone his wife didn’t answer him and he start to cry and we pray for him again,was pretty sad. 

Also one of my personal treasures in this trip was praying for Pastor Jose because he is a real men of God and I’m not feel worthy to pray for him, but God give me this wonderful opportunity and was a real blessing for me have the possibility to encourage this men of God. 


Like i said this trip was amazing many tears was she ,all the people in all teams living wonderful experiences and each night when we gathering for lunch to talk about the day, many people crying sharing the things that God was doing. I felll so blessed with this trip , I saw the hand of God for sure and is a privilege be a tool in his hands.


Huaral was touched with the gospel, the government knows about us and they feel ashamed because we work his community bringing spiritual and medical help and i for sure that they remain this day a before and after was write in the hearts of the people. 


The seed was put in the hearts of the people and God take care of it. 


Thanks guys for let me share this with you, I love you with all my heart; please help me to pray for Pastor Jose Salinas, his church and for all the people in Huaral. 


God is the wonderful and I’m proud to work for him and i know that you too.


Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galathians 6:9 

David’s Mighty Warriors

1 Chronicles 11:1-10 

¹⁰ These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised — ¹¹ this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:

Jashobeam,^[b] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers^[c]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.

¹² Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. ¹³ He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. ¹⁴ But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.

¹⁵ Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. ¹⁶ At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. ¹⁷ David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” ¹⁸ So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord. ¹⁹ “God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.

Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.

²⁰ Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. ²¹ He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.

²² Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. ²³ And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits^[d] tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s rod in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. ²⁴ Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. ²⁵ He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.

1 Chronicles 12 

Warriors Join David

12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; ² they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin):

³ Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, ⁴ and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,^[a]5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; ⁶ Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; ⁷ and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.

⁸ Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.

⁹ Ezer was the chief,

Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,

¹⁰ Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

¹¹ Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

¹² Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

¹³ Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.

¹⁴ These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand. ¹⁵ It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
¹⁶ Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. ¹⁷ David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
¹⁸ Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:

“We are yours, David!
    We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success, success to you,
    and success to those who help you,
        for your God will help you.”

So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.

¹⁹ Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”) ²⁰ When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. ²¹ They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. ²² Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.^[b]

Others Join David at Hebron

²³ These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:

²⁴ from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;

²⁵ from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;

²⁶ from Levi—4,600, ²⁷ including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, ²⁸ and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;

²⁹ from Benjamin, Saul’s tribe—3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;

³⁰ from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;

³¹ from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;

³² from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do —200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;

³³ from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;

³⁴ from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;

³⁵ from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;

³⁶ from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;

³⁷ and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.

³⁸ All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. ³⁹ The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, for their families had supplied provisions for them. ⁴⁰ Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.

Learning from 1 and 2 Timothy

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spiritsand things taught by demons. ² Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. ³ They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. ⁴ For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, ⁵ because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

⁸ Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timothy 5:8

¹⁵ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

1 Timothy 2:15

⁶ They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, ⁷ always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:6-7

 ¹² In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, ¹³ while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:12-13

¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of God^[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

² Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage —with great patience and careful instruction. 

2 Timothy 4:2

 ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day —and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8
