Thanks for your prayers. I
was talking with the leadership of the local church I’m attending. Our purpose in having ultimate Frisbee every
week is so that teens and young adults who don’t currently attend evangelical
churches can get to know the church, and then if we invite them to classes and
services they are more comfortable and interested in coming. We had been renting the gym at the Diospi
school, but the rules were getting stricter every week: first non marking
schools only, then only schools with rubber or white soles that had never been
worn outside, and then they because concerned that even the white soles were
leaving marks. After praying over the
issue, we decided to rent a turf field because the people we were targeting
didn’t have money to buy a pair of shoes to only use once a week to play.
We’ve
played Frisbee two weeks now in the synthetic grass field and God has really
blessed it. Both weeks we had nearly 40
kids, teens, young adults, and adults come out to play. And mostly Peruvians. The first night only 4 of us were foreigners,
and the second only 10. Prayers on
wisdom and guidance on inviting those we reach to church. The church is still very small. There’s only about 5-10 of us available to take
on the various leadership roles. Miqui
is in charge of the young adults. David just took on the Sunday school. Jemerson, the pastor, is in charge of every
time. Juvenal is in charge of the music
ministry. I’m in charge of the weekly
women’s group. Miqui and David are helping me with Frisbee. There’s no one in charge of the teens
yet. They’re kind of added on to the
young adult group or children’s Sunday school depending on their age and
maturity. Many of those coming to Frisbee
fall in this teen group. Please pray
that God sends someone to fill this role in the church.
