"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

A Vital House Church Grows

San Francisco Iglesia

We visited a beautiful house church outside of Cajamarca in an area called San Francisco. Amazing sermon was preached on the importance of church and serving others. Each member present sat with full attention and hearts open. We loved being apart of this special Sunday morning service gathering together to share in the Lord's supper. Breaking bread and passing the cup as we gave thanks to our Heavenly Father. "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,"This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." (Luke 22:19) Church members are giving their tithes and offerings weekly and seeking the Lord's guidance on one day building a new church building, as the church continues to grow.

Thank you Lord, for this day. Thank you for allowing us to fellowship in Your house and for the blessings you have poured over this church. Thank you for sound Biblical doctrine as new Evangelical Churches continue to be added one by one here in this city of Peru. Thank you for the hearts of each member present and their desire to learn more about You. Thank you Lord, for sending Your only Son. In Your Holy Name, we do pray, Amen.

"And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."
~Acts 2:40-47
