Dear
Friends,
Please read
the update from Pastor Giorgio Romani about the continuing work with the floods
in Peru. He needs our help as he reaches people with the gospel and
physical help. Also, please download the attachment to see the work.
“Yesterday we came back from Huarmey, Peru , 5 hours north of us. This
area has been severely affected by the mudslides and floods. We want to thank
everyone who helped bringing donations, preparing the packages, praying, and
contributing financially. The need is great and it is encouraging to see the
benevolence and love of many of you towards those who are suffering.
Our hearts were full of joy as we were able to share the gospel with
hundreds and we were blessed with the opportunity to help more than 256
families with clothing, food, and basic toiletries.
Despise the joy we felt, we were also burdened with the hundreds that
we could not help.
There is one particular area that is not being helped much. We were
only able to help 78 families of this community and it was sad to see the
desperation of those who left empty-handed. Some of them became aggressive
against each other and against us, but it was because they just wanted some
help. My heart is burdened for them and I am praying and planning to organize
one more trip there next week. Our goal will be to help 150 families in this
area. Their hearts are open to hear the gospel and they are also in great need.
The cost to prepare 150 packages is approximately 2500 soles (approx
800 dollars). This does not include the cost of transportation and truck
rental. The trip we made yesterday cost about 4500 soles (almost 1400 USD); the
Lord really blessed and with your help and the help of three other churches in
Lima we were able to get all the expenses covered.
.... I trust the Lord will supply for the needs that we have as
we plan to share Christ and portray His love. Our church in Lima has surprised
me with their commitment and expressions of Love towards our brethren that are
hurting and towards those in need.
Please continue to pray for us as we continue to plan bringing aid to
those who have suffered from the mudslides and floods and please pray for the
many that are still suffering here in Peru! Mainly for many to come to the
knowledge of Him.
God bless! Giorgio Romani Gal 2:20”
Please continue to pray for the relief work in Peru.
