A Quick Update...

Hey guys, I only have a few minutes, so this ones going to be a bit shorter.
The Lord has done such great things for us here in Peru. The Conquerors were awesome, every single one of them is completely sold out to Christ, and that helped our team so much. We´ve seen 15,000 people come to Christ, and I don´t think Peru will ever be the same.

We head back home on the 23rd, so keep that in your prayers. Also, keep praying for my back, and my sleep. When I get home I need to find a vehichle, so keep that in mind as well, and be praying for my dad´s neck as the bones continue to heal.

Thanks everyone,
-Matt-

Chillin' today for the big event tomorrow...

Hello again from Peru. I hope all of you are doing well, and thankyou for your prayers. I have a few minutes to update so here we go. Earlier this week the strength team that we're working with arrived, and we've been doing ministry with them all week in schools here in Lima. It's been absolutely incredible! The first day we had 1,000 kids raise their hands and pray to recieve christ into their hearts. And yesterday there were well over a 1,000 more. I had to take today off because my back has been very sore. Please keep praying for healing for my back. Tomorrow the strength team has a big event. We're expecting at least 20,000 people, but I think it'll be much more than that. It's going to be a long day, and probably a little nerve-racking to perform our dramas in front of 20,000+ peruvians...So keep us in your prayers tomorrow. We'll need it. God is still teaching me a lot, and I can't wait to get a nice big cheeseburger when I get back...

Wow....

Wow, what a week!!! The Lord's work has been so evident here in Peru this past week. So many people are coming to know Christ, and it is just amazing to see how willing they are to serve Him. Yesterday we spent the entire day evangelizing with a church, and inviting people to the church service last night. At the end of the service, the pastor got up and said a few words, and 40-50 people came up front, and we prayed for all of them...It was a very humbling experience to lay hands on and pray for people who can't understand a word we're saying. But it was amazing to see how the Holy Spirit moved through the language barrier. I am learning a lot about myself, and what kind of leader the Lord wants me to be. I am learning a knew confidence in my faith that I did not have before, and I am learning how to pray without ceasing, and the importance of praying without ceasing because, there is a constant spirtual war going on, and Satan tries even harder to attack those who are working against him, but The Lord is good, and has been protecting our team very well. Keep me in your prayers, and keep my team in your prayers...Pray for my sleep, and for my back. I haven't been sleeping well, and my back is very sore. I can't wait to get back and share al of my experiences with you guys, and I could really go for a cheeseburger right now...lol....
