It has been a very interesting few days. We continue to have many visitors which is such an encouragement to us. This weekend we had the pleasure of having Lucho, Aurora and family stop by. The last time we saw Aurora she looked as though she didn’t have much time left here on earth. She was quite sick. Even though she is confined to a wheelchair, that sweet smile and spirit from before shined through. Lucho started talking about how changed Soledad has become since the massacre in Bagua. Many in the community have believed and accepted the salvation Christ offers them. Even a nearby bedroom community of Naranjal has seen an increase from one family to 10. Where the church for the last few years has had only maybe 15 or show up now the church is filling up once again.
One the other hand the enemy is also working overtime. Lucho shared with us about a group with extreme doctrinal teachings congregating close by. They are teaching many falsehoods. They are saying that the men need to leave their wives and go to the hills to pray taking verses out of context. They are also ordaining young immature teens to be pastors. Their leaders are also “prophesying” that several community residents are going to die and when.
Please continue to pray for the village of Soledad. Pray for the pastors: Abelardo, Francisco, Luis and Simon.
