Ceremony With The President

Today we attended a ceremony with the President of Peru, Alan Garcia.

For the past three years, the evangelical church community in Peru has hosted a Ceremony of Thanksgiving in honor of Peru Independence Days at the end of July, and each year President Garcia has attended. Garcia is the first Peruvian President to have truly reached out to the evangelical church community here, and he maintains good relations with the evangelical community in Peru. Dorcas and I have been blessed to attend each of the past three ceremonies with President Garcia.

Being at the ceremony with President Garcia reminded me that we must always be praying for our leaders, whether we agree with their politics or not. Those of you in the USA need to be praying - now - for the next President, whomever it may be. God already knows who will win in November. Be praying that the winner seeks God's wisdom and discernment in all the decisions that he must make as President.

FRC Students Rock!

We're having a great time these days with the 16 FRC high school students who are visiting us here in Lima along with Pastor Garland, Pastor Bob, and Holly. On Friday the students had an outreach at a local English language insitute, then on Saturday they spent the day with our friends at the orphanage in La Victoria, then spent Saturday night at the jazz club where we have The Rd., and then on Sunday morning they helped us out at FRC-Lima as ushers, greeters, singers, musicians, and with the set-up and tear-down. The high school group is doing a great job here in Lima. FRC students rock!

Strength!

Philippians 4:13 (NLT2) says, "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."

Amen to that!

Strength doesn't come from Red Bull or steroids or human growth hormones or even the famous coca tea here in Lima, it comes from Christ!

Join us this Sunday morning in both services at FRC-Lima as Pastor Troy teaches about the strength that we have through Christ.

It will motivate you to change the world for Him!

Keep On Truckin'!

Join us this Sunday morning in both services at the cinema as we begin our brand-new teaching series called "Moods: Keep On Truckin'!"

This Sunday morning we will learn more about how to have real joy in your life. Part of it is based on whether or not you tend to look at the glass as being half-full or half-empty. That "mood" can make all the difference in your life and in reaching your God-potential!

Join us this Sunday morning at the cinema for this exciting new teaching by Pastor Troy, and invite your family and friends!

See Today & Seize Today!

This Sunday morning in both services at FRC-Lima, we are finishing our series called "RationaLIES: The Battle for Truth." Many times the enemy tries to get us to delay or to never reach our God-potential by telling us, "There's always tomorrow." However, God tells us that we need to "See today & seize today!" Join us this Sunday for this very impactful teaching. Invite your family and friends!
