As I shared in the last post, we have been blessed by being surrounded by an amazing landscape from our home, as a constant reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and majesty. This has been such an encouragement as we have encountered frustrations and trials of learning a new culture and people.
We have been surrounded by the prayers of many, and are very thankful for those prayers on our behalf. Transition has not been easy, but yet confirming of God's call on our lives here in Cusco. Please continue to surround us with those prayers.
The angel of the Lord surrounded and delivered us (Psalm 34:7) as we were poisoned by carbon monoxide in our apartment by our hot water heater. (I'll post more details later) Although it was initially a frightful experience, the peace of God surrounded and comforted us and has resulted in greater joy and praise to him who protects, provides, and loves us deeply.
We've enjoyed and are thankful for being surrounded by our MCO Cusco family and MTW Cusco team. How sweet it is to be seeking God together and asking him to make himself famous here in Cusco.
Finally, we have been lavishly surrounded by the grace and love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We have often felt his presence and strong arms holding us, while we were weak, frustrated or tired.
And now we pray that we will continue to be surrounded by his presence and favor as we begin ministering the Gospel through faith, word and deed.
