PRAISE THE LORD!!! Thank you for the part you played in helping our Peru team be FULLY FUNDED! God is SO good! He called . . . He equipped . . . and we are ready to go! We'll be serving March 14-28 in both the city of Iquitos and deep in the jungle among the indigenous Urarina tribe and invite you to join us as you prayerfully support God moving in the hearts of people as He calls them to Himself!
|
We invite you to join us on Sunday, March 8 at 6pm CST for our Peru Prayer & Commissioning Service! This is a special opportunity to pray over our missional purpose (evangelism and discipleship), our plan (really HIS plan), and our people (the people God puts in our path to share His Word, as well as our team from both here and in Peru).
For those in the Houston area, we'll meet at the following address:
6906 Wild Violet Dr.
Humble, TX 77346
For those who live out of town, you can join us on Zoom through the link below.
|
Here's our Peru Prayer Guide so you can not only pray over each team member, but also pray over the people hearing and responding to God's Word as you follow along with our schedule. Thank you for coming alongside us in this Kingdom impacting way. Your prayers activate what only God can do!
|
To receive live updates & prayer requests during the trip, text trip leader, Sharla Henderson, at 281-217-9112 to be added to the Peru WhatsApp group.
|
We'll have our "God Stories from Peru Share Time" in-person and on Zoom once the team gets back! You'll definitely want to be a part of hearing how God moved . . . and answered YOUR prayers! While the Zoom link below is different than the one for the Peru Prayer & Commissioning, the in-person address is the same!

SOUTH ASIA MINISTRY PARTNER UPDATE & URGENT PRAYER REQUEST
|
Please continue to pray for DC (initials used for security and safety), one of our South Asia Ministry Partners who is in need of a kidney transplant. Medical tests are being done on both DC and his potential donor. Please specifically pray for DC's pre-transplant health, that his donor be a match and is approved for the surgery, and strength for his family members as they support him through this journey. Please also lift up the medical professionals in charge of DC's care, along with his ministry co-workers who so faithfully continue to be about our Father's work even in DC's temporary absence.
Once we have more information, Lean In Ministries will launch a fundraiser to help with his transplant costs. We will likely send out a second email to all of you with updates, along with the fundraising details and link. We trust that God is going before DC . . . working all things for his good and God's glory . . . weaving even this temporary trial into his eternal testimony!
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20-21
