are we already in may?

how quickly time has passed. We've seen the kids group grow to 80 children on average each week. As I've shared before, it's insanity!!! But we have fun with them, and it makes me so proud to see them growing in their knowledge of Jesus. We are about to begin a church meeting in San Marcos for the adults, which technically will be the 2nd Iberoamericana church in Cusco! We will be meeting on Friday evenings. The children who wanted to invite their mom or dad took home an invitation. We are looking forward to growing the church to include the adults of san marcos and parents of the kids with whom we've been working for over a year!

In April we celebrated the 1 year anniversary of the church in Cusco. We had a big lunch with everyone in attendance. We are encouraged that all that God has done among us. We are still praying for consistency and commitment to the Lord by the members because they are still making space for God in their lives, which means giving up some other things and means placing God first.

This month we are expecting to be very busy with some new changes, like the church group in San Marcos and a girls club (ages 12-15), as well as new arrivals from the US! Holly, a young lady from the US, is committed to the Lord and in serving Him. She has decided to come to Cusco, will live with us and serve alongside us in ministry until October. Michelle, another young lady from the US, is arriving this month also and will spend 2 months with us, serving and learning all that God has for her! We are looking forward to these additions to our "family"!
