What an exciting week as Sean starts teaching soccer (futbol) and Bible in one of the local schools. As summer comes to an end, families begin to prepare for a change in their daily routine. Traveling through the city, we see children of all ages dressed in school uniforms. Buses quickly fill up as students young and old head off to meet their new teachers and join their old friends. Pray for all the children at Monte Sion School, where Sean will be teaching Grade 1 through High School each week (approximately 150 kids). Pray that many will hear God's Word and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Pray that God will guide Sean daily as he teaches Biblical truths to these students. Pray that through the game of soccer, Sean will be able to build strong relationships with these children and draw them closer to Christ. As this new school year begins and the rainy season comes to an end, we are reminded of how quickly this life is going to pass us all by. Without a moments notice, many today will take their last breath. Pray for the lost souls in Cajamarca who have never heard the name of Jesus or who continue to choose darkness over the light. For the believers in Christ here in this city, I pray that God will give them strength as they try to share God's love this school year through their actions and love for others. Pray that God will give them strength to hold on to their faith, even if they face
suffering or persecution.
"For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us
with his comfort through Christ."
-2 Corinthians 1:5
