Departure

The Lord has been good to me. As a Fact, He is Good, always. Some months ago, a friend named Leona Karni asked me if i would be interested to go with her in a mission trip, to some countries in South America for two, so i thought that it would be very difficult, because I was ready thinking in going to the villages and towns in different places of Peru with the teams from U.S., then she said that this trip would be  for the months of Jan and Feb, and, as many of you know, this months are the rainy season, therefore no teams are coming from U.S. or at least very few, so that door was open, and I accepted. The next months we started making the arrangements for this trip, emails coming and going, praying a lot to know what is the will of God, and His direction, finally the time has come. 

Church Sending Us
Yesterday i was packing, and while I was packing, I was thinking about the trips, in this last almost 5 years. Since my first time, my first team, my first mission. How I met so many goodly people that was trying to share the Gospel with me, for so many years, and I traveled with them, I have been traveling with McGregor church almost since the beginning, since I started to go in mission tirps, I learn a lot from them, Rocket Stoves, Farming God's Way, Water Filters, Bible Stories, etc..., but the most important thing, I learn the Gospel, and God worked his way to break my harden heart, to change it into a heart of flesh, God knew how argumentative I am, and also Ya'll know that I guess if You have traveled with me, but translating I was not able to argue, just to listen, understand, and then interpret it to make it simple for the people to understand the message, God knew that that was the way to capture me. And He did all the work. I kept thinking in the later mission trips, the ones with my church, Calvary Chapel English Service Lima, such a privilege be able to serve with my local church, my home church. 



Today We are leaving, I do not know what is waiting for us, many countries, lots of lost people, visiting some churches, one Body, One Godhead. I am 100% sure, God is in control, He has shown that to me, always, everyday, every time  since I see the sun coming out in the morning, until I close my eyes to sleep. God never fails, He has shown that to me, He took me in his hands, and even, sometimes I want to run away, He has new mercy every day ( I think that is part of a song ). God always corrects, He has shown that to me, when I do what He told me not to do, He, as a loving Father, corrects me sometimes it hurts but I can feel His Love in His Correction.
So I pray that God will show himself as He does always, and I pray that He does not allow me to miss that miracle "Showing Himself", such a miracle, such an everyday miracle, and such a creative God, He will keep surprising me, and I hope that trough this Blog You Will be encourage and we can be surprised by God together. 

Pray for Us, right now just for the trip. Later will come more specific requests.
Grace and Peace.
God Bless You
