El Redentor

The church we have been going to since September is called El Redentor (The Redeemer). It is part of the Evangelical Free Church of Peru. There are quite a number of youth and university students. As the months go by, we've been able to get to know people better and build relationships with people through the different activities we attend at the church.

There are 2 Sunday services and we attend the 11:15am service - and we've been going to a small group (home group, cell group...?) on Thursday nights. I've wanted to be involved in a bible study with youth and while there is a youth group on Saturday nights, we were told the small groups were all mixed groups. Recently the youth started another group to study the bible and we've been invited to go along... and now as a newly engaged couple, we've been invited to attend the group for married people too.

So weekends are pretty busy with church activities, today (it's Friday) we'll be heading to the bible study in the afternoon, then the group for married people at night and tonight there is also a pyjama party for the high school girls that I've been invited to share at.... then youth group tomorrow night and church on Sunday followed by lunch with our small group leader and his family.

Praise that we have been able to connect with people at El Redentor
Praise that the youth are keen to study God's Word
Pray for my sharing/testimony tonight at the pyjama party and that I will be able get to know some of the younger girls
Pray for some of the girls that I've gotten to know - Iris, Sayuri, Ivonne, Joanna, Judith... that I can continue to build the relationship that we have so that I can encourage them in their walk with God
