"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

~Ephesians 3:14-21

The NC Team Enjoying Their Sunday In Cajamarca, Peru

Early Morning Singing Practice With Bradley
Scenic Walk To Monte Sion Iglesia
Lifting Up Their Voices To The Lord
"Amazing Grace"

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
'Twas blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see.

~Marlene~
Several years ago, Marlene was diagnosed with an incurable malady (disease)
that needed treatment with an expensive medicine. One of the volunteers from Villa Milagro, during this time, gave a substantial amount of money to help her buy the medicines she needed. Marlene still struggles today with her illness, but the Lord continues to carry her each step of the way. Marlene faithfully attends Monte Sion Iglesia to learn more about the amazing LOVE of JESUS CHRIST. Please continue to keep Marlene in your prayers.
