Dear Friends,

We trust this letter finds you each well. We appreciate your praying for us again this month.

Here are some items for praise to the Lord, answers to prayer, as well as some petitions.

Praise

1. For the Lord’s helping Mark to finish our ministry plan and budget for this year.
2. For core group meetings in Salamanca that began on January 10. The Lord has blessed these times of prayer, planning and vision casting for the new church plant.
3. For Mark’s meetings with the Session of the Huaycán church to formalize our relationship
4. For a great visit from our friend Todd Fizer from New City Fellowship in St Louis.
5. For the spiritual growth we are seeing among new believers in our Thursday small group in Salamanca.
6. For the Ross family’s arrival to Lima from language school on Feb. 1 to start work with children at risk
7. For multiple baptisms and first communions taking place on February 4 in Santa Anita of adults and children, including our own Emmett and Anna who will be taking the Lord’s supper for the first time.
8. For Mark’s sister Ashley coming to visit Feb. 18-Mar. 4. We’ll be taking those two weeks off so we can spend time with Ashley and do some tourism with her.

1. For Felipe Hervias, new believer in Salamanca with special needs.
2. For Maria, single mom in Salamanca with two children, Yessica (13) and Moises (10), who needs your prayers for spiritual growth and for healing in her family, as well as physical needs of a job, a place to live, and basic items for a home.
3. For Mark’s meetings with the Huaycán session each Tuesday night, working over the next 6 months to put together a formal church planting partnership that is well thought out, culturally sensitive and effective.
4. For Mark’s meetings with the core group in Salamanca, each Wednesday night. We are praying for this group to grow in size and unity around a healthy biblical vision that Mark is seeking to train them in.
5. For the evangelism clinic in Urubamba (mountains, Cuzco area) Feb. 12-16. 15 pastors and leaders are signed up and Mark will be sharing the teaching with another pastor, Fabio Padilla, from the 4 Square Church in Lima. From our churches here in Lima, 4 leaders will be going to serve as trainers: Enrique, Adrián, Fabián and Lucy.
6. For the Cristo Salvador feeding/tutoring program. The children’s names, from left to right in the pictures below are: Alexandra Quiros, Juan Tinco, Daniel Ramos, Marcos Ramos, Diego Quiros, Joel Quiros and Jasmin Quispe. Jean Lucas is not pictured. Guillermo (on the left at the table) is the pastoral intern responsible for the day to day activities and oversight of the children, and Reyna tends to the special needs that exist with the kids and their families. Becca is our missionary overseeing the kids’ health. Please pray for each one.
7. For Lori as she serves on the oversight committee for the project, responsible for evaluating and improving it.
8. For Elizabeth Clemente in Huaycán, who was run over by a truck a few weeks ago and is disabled with 5 kids and a husband who has recently abandoned her. The church is providing food for her and her family, and two of her boys are already in the Cristo Salvador project. Pray for her recovery, spirits, and for justice to be done on her behalf such that the owner of the vehicle, whose neglect caused the accident, would pay for her medical bills, lost work time and damages.
9. For wisdom constantly in all the decisions and pastoral situations we face daily
10. For protection for our marriage and family from Satan’s schemes.
11. For physical protection for us and all God’s people in this city of many dangers.
12. For the joy of the Lord to be our strength daily.

With much love in Christ,

Mark for all
