"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

~LOOKING BACK ON SPECIAL TIMES IN PERU~

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
~Colossians 3:12-14

Lord, our prayer, is that one day each one of these special youth will know You and accept You as the one and only truly God. Lord, please draw each one of them close to You and give them courage to follow You no matter what their circumstances may be.

THE SKY POINTS TO GOD'S GLORY
“The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
    and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
    whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
    and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun”
~Psalm 19:1-4

  1. I love all the pictures and updates. It's evident that God is doing a mighty work in the lives of the people in Peru and in your family's lives as well. Stay away from those scorpions and we'll see you soon in NC! Praying God gives you focus and love for these last few weeks overseas. :)
