How many of you know ministry is spelled W-O-R-K. That's not our mentality when it comes to the ministry, but things have to get done! This weekend we had two John Maxwell Million Leader Mandate classes going on at the same time. Alida & Ps. Kim were teaching a group in Ps. Tom's house while Ps. Tom & I had a group in the office. We've made a commitment to teach each of these books to 50 people. So we're working to reach the goal. There are 6 books in all over a 3 year period & we're on books 3 & 4.
Sunday was a nationwide census here in Peru. When there is a census, you're not allowed to leave your house from 8am until 6pm. The stores are closed & supposedly there isn't public transportation. Churches cancel their services & everyone stays home. So we stayed home & a girl came to ask us questions around 9am. We've been counted!!
Starting the 23rd (today), we have the next PARE training here at the house. 22 people will be staying with us & will be trained to duplicate the program. For those who don't know what PARE is, it's Hearts in Action's program for the Prevention of Sexual Abuse against kids. You know, this is one of those things that no one really stands & shouts & gets all excited about. It's not a fun topic. But when you watch the news, whether it's here in Peru or in the States, you see kids are being abused. So if not us, then who? If not now, then when??
