Pastor Troy's Challenge To FRC-Lima!

We've been having a great time with Pastor Troy and his family here in Lima. Last night we had a wonderful dinner and meeting with some of the leaders of FRC-Lima, and Pastor Troy challenged all of us to dream big and to make an impact not just here in Lima, and not just here in Peru, and not just here in South America, but worldwide! God has blessed FRC-Lima in so many different ways, with great leaders, great volunteers, great worship, a great location in the cinema, and some great TV publicity recently on Panorama, and now it's up to us to leverage that blessing into making a worldwide impact! I know that we're up to the challenge here at FRC-Lima!

A Great Sunday With Pastor Troy At FRC-Lima!

We had an awesome time today with Pastor Troy at FRC-Lima! There were great crowds, great worship, great teaching, and great energy in both the Spanish and English services, and we know it's going to be even better next Sunday when Pastor Troy returns to FRC-Lima to teach live in both services, and then with the baptism afterward! Sign up to be baptized today! You can register for the baptism by calling 441-1837, or by e-mailing steve.guschov@flamingoroad.org.

Well We're Movin' On Up, To The 4th Floor!

Starting this Sunday morning, June 15, all Flamingo Road Church services in Lima will be held in SALA 6 on the 4TH FLOOR of the cinema.

The Pre-School and Children's Ministry, as well, will be moving up to SALA 5 on the 4TH FLOOR of the cinema.

I guess this means that we're going to be a little bit closer to heaven now!

So join us this Sunday morning in SALA 6 on the 4TH FLOOR of the cinema as we conclude our teaching series called IT MATTERS. This Sunday we will learn why COMMITMENT MATTERS.

The service times will remain the same, with the SPANISH SERVICE AT 9:00 AM and the ENGLISH SERVICE AT 10:30 AM.

We'll see you on Sunday morning in SALA 6 on the 4TH FLOOR!

COMMITMENT MATTERS!

Join us this Sunday morning in both services at the cinema as we conclude our teaching series called "IT MATTERS." This Sunday we will be learning why COMMITMENT MATTERS!

True commitment always involves godliness, obedience, faith, and sacrifice, and true commitment is always rewarded by God. After the teaching on Sunday you will have a very special opportunity to show God your own personal commitment!

Be sure to join us this Sunday morning at the cinema, and invite your family and friends!

Shake, Rattle, & Roll!

Saturday morning Peruvians were jolted out of bed by an earthquake tremor which registered 4.7 on the Richter Scale. It was a fairly long jolt, as far as tremors go, lasting several seconds. Our apartment building swayed and shook, and the window panes clattered noisily.

Flamingo Road Church is one church where you are, but I can tell you that there is one big difference between FRC in South Florida, and FRC in Peru. In South Florida, there are hurricanes, but you can prepare for a hurricane. You always know a couple of days in advance when it's coming. With an earthquake, or even a tremor, there's no warning! You can't prepare for it! You feel the earth move under your feet, you shake, rattle, and roll, and you hope and pray that you can live to tell about it. That's just one of the differences we face here at FRC-Lima.

Unchurched, Unreached, Uncontacted

Just as we were returning from Iquitos this week, the news broke about the discovery of a new tribe living on the border of Peru and Brazil. This tribe had never been seen before and had never been contacted before by outsiders from what we would define as modern civilization.

Photos which were published in Peru newspapers and which were broadcast on Peru TV news stations showed members of the tribe, probably a remnant of the Mashco Piros or Murunahuas, covered in red paint and aiming their bows and arrows at the airplane which was flying high above them.

It was a fascinating discovery, and it makes us think of our role as a church. We must always be striving to reach out to those who are unchurched, whether they live in a large, noisy, thriving metropolis like Lima, or whether they are a tribe that no one has ever seen before, living on the border of Peru and Brazil. As we build new small groups in Iquitos, and pray and dream of a full campus there someday, and continue to minister and partner with the Yagua tribe there, it fills us with excitement to think that perhaps someday FRC-Lima or FRC-Iquitos will be partnering with this lost tribe to help them reach their God-potential.
