an important day

Friday, February 9, 2007
Victor Terrazas was the first believer from the Iglesia de Cristo Iberoamericana in Cusco to be baptised.

We had a team from Santiago, Chile and several individuals from our house church in Cusco come to witness this step of faith that Victor has taken in his life. Some from our home fellowship are also very close in their own walks with the Lord to make a decision to be baptised. Lastly, the most special guest was Victor's father, a man who has lived a very hard life, who is set in his ways and without any verbal desire to know more about Jesus than what he says he already knows. It was an incredible testimony for him to witness his 46 yr old son's decision to follow Christ.

The location was in San Jeronimo, about 20 minutes from Cusco. We found a nice green area with a pool that we were able to rent out for the early morning baptism. With the nice and cold water, various onlookers, complete with a cow, Victor was ready to be dunked.












To die to his old life and be resurrected to the new life in Christ, was Victors affirmation... and a joy to our hearts to hear.



There are heavenly hosts that are praising God over the life of Victor, which once was lost but now is found!

PTL! What an awesome day. I'm just amazed at how God is using you to do marvelous things in the city of Cusco. May God bless you richly as you seek to do His will.
