Wisdom

This Sunday morning at 10:00 AM at Flamingo Road Church in Lima, we are beginning a new series called "The Secret: A Study of James." It is a great new series about the Book of James, and this Sunday morning the teaching will be about the secret to wisdom. We all need to have more wisdom in our lives. Wisdom comes from God. This Sunday we will learn about how to obtain wisdom, and how to make wise choices in our lives. It is a very important teaching, so be sure to join us on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM at Cineplanet Alcazar in Ovalo Gutierrez, and invite your friends to come, too!

Addiction

This Sunday morning at 10:00 AM at the cinema, Pastor Troy's video teaching will be about addiction. What do we do when we've screwed up in the area of addiction? Almost all of us are addicted to something, whether it's alcohol, drugs, money, power, prestige, sex, a person, a relationship, TV, the Internet, video games, cell phones, or other forms of entertainment and amusement. What is your addiction? How have you screwed up in that area? Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM at Cineplanet Alcazar in Ovalo Gutierrez for this important teaching, and bring a friend!

Iquitos

We just returned from 3 days in Iquitos, a city in the Peruvian jungle along the Amazon River. It was an incredible time. We visited several jungle churches, native communities, and tribes. Dozens of people received Christ at each stop. We also saw and held a 12-foot anaconda, and ate burgers and nuggets made from crocodile meat.

Two of the jungle tribes that we visited were the Boras and the Yaguas. They were dressed in their native attire when we met them, and they were excited to hear the gospel message from us. As we visited with them and ministered to them, I thought of the verse in Revelation 7:9, which says, "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language ...."

Sometimes we think that everyone in heaven is going to be and look just like us, however we look. But when we meet the Boras and the Yaguas, and when we reflect on Revelation 7:9, it reminds us how heaven will be a patchwork of people from different races, colors, social classes, ethnicities, languages, cultures, nations, and tribes ... and it's exciting to think that some of them will be our newly-saved friends among the Boras and the Yaguas.

Pastor Garland Returns!

This Sunday at FRC in Lima, we will be joined by Pastor Garland Robertson, Pastor Chad Swanzy, and a group of 25 high school students from Flamingo Road Church in Florida! It's going to be an awesome time, full of high energy and excitement!

You all remember that Pastor Garland was just here in Lima a few weeks ago, and now he's back! We look forward to seeing him again. Pastor Chad is the Student Pastor at FRC. It is his first trip to Peru. Some of the 25 students have been to Peru before, but not all of them.

This Sunday will be a very exciting and special day with Pastor Garland, Pastor Chad, and the 25 FRC high school students visitng us here in Lima, so be sure to come and meet them, and invite your friends, too!

Feeding 360 In Pachacutec

On Saturday afternoon, we fed 360 people in the shantytown of Pachacutec, Peru, with BJ Hewlett and his group from Flamingo Road Church Academy. Every time that we serve our brothers and sisters and friends in Pachacutec, I have a very real sense of God smiling down on us and on what we are doing. It makes sense. We are told to feed the hungry (Matthew 25:35), and so when we are obedient to God and do it, it glorifies Him and makes Him pleased with us. It fits right in to what Pastor Troy is teaching about running after a legacy, and doing something of eternal value with your life, instead of doing nothing. God smiles down on us every time that we are in Pachacutec. Is He smiling down on you, too?
