But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power
may be of God, and not of us.

Our
Gospel Treasure
We have the marvelous
opportunity to serve as ministers of the gospel message. Each week
we travel to different churches and share with them the truth
of God's Word and the power of God as displayed in His work in
Peru. What a privilege.
Thank you for continuing to
pray for us and giving financially to support this work. We are
amazed every day with the privilege we have of serving our Great
Savior.

Safety
Traveling
We traveled to Pennsylvania
at the end of February to present our ministry in four churches,
solicit more meetings in that area, and catch up with some friends
from our Seminary days. We were home for two days and
then left for a missions conference
in Illinois. So, in three weeks we traveled nearly 3,000 miles. We
praise God for good meetings, good health, and no vehicle problems.

Quick
Facts about Peru
Peru is one of the most
unique places on earth. Don't believe us? Consider the
following:
Peru is home to both
the driest metropolitan area (Lima) and the driest desert on earth
(the Atacama). Peru is also home to the Amazon Rainforest, parts of
which have received more than 49 feet of rain in a one year, making it one of the wettest place on
earth.
Separating Peru's deserts and rainforest are
the Andes Mountains. Mount Huascaran is the highest peak in the
tropical world at 22,205 feet, and the Cotahuasi
Canyon, at 11,488 feet deep, is the world's deepest.

We
have added three churches and one family to our financial support
team since our last prayer letter. We praise God for our new
support!
We are now at 23.5%.
Caleb
has traveled to several pastor's conferences recently and has made
some good contacts for future meetings.
Caleb
will be traveling to several more conferences in the coming months
to find new meetings. Pray for safety and good contacts.
We
have several other churches that would like to take us on soon.
Pray that God will provide for their needs so that they can partner
with us.
Pray
that God will continue to provide meetings in the right churches
for us.
Pray
that God will allow us to be an encouragement
and a blessing to the people in the churches we visit.

We
recently spent some time with some dear friends. As we talked about
our ministry, God challenged them to invest with us in Peru. We are
so overjoyed that they have partnered with us for $10 a month. That
may not seem like a lot, but it is a sacrifice that God will honor.
Every little bit helps us on our way, and we know that God honors
those who give from the heart.
If
you would like to partner with us financially (either as a church
or an individual), please let us know so we can send you
information.
