Christmas Celebration event in Peru

Pray for Meredith, ReachGlobal personnel in Tarma, Peru, hosting the Christmas Celebration December 7, for people involved in the Bible studies and others who have shown an interest. Pray for deepening relationships and that the seeds of the gospel would continue to be planted as another advent study gets underway with new contacts.

Teaching and Discipling in Peru

Pray for Jim, ReachGlobal personnel in Peru, as he teaches in the Condevilla church and other institutions in the city. Ask the Holy Spirit to give him knowledge and clarity as he disciples several men on a weekly basis and to use him effectively as he works with the pastors of ADIEL, our sister Evangelical Free Church denomination in Peru and Venezuela.

Children's Ministry in Peru

Ask the Lord to give wisdom, strength and patience to Kay, ReachGlobal personnel in Peru, and the four women who lead the children’s ministry at the Condevilla church. Pray for more workers to step up as this ministry expands and the children need encouragement and reinforcement from the many bad influences around them. Pray that as these children hear and learn God’s Word they will be molded more and more into the image of Christ.

Ministry trip in Peru

Pray for Rebecca, ReachGlobal personnel in Latin America, on a ministry trip in Peru August 25-31, with the “Women without Borders” ministry through ReachGlobal. Rebecca and the team are training the women leaders to encourage and stimulate them in their ministry to women. Ask God to use this time to reshape hearts, lives and priorities. Also, pray for God’s blessing on the meeting the team will have with the pastors of the EFC of Peru to evaluate this ministry, the partnership with them and the future development of a women’s ministry in Peru.

Ministry in Peru

Pray for wisdom and guidance for Jim and Kay, ReachGlobal personnel in Peru. Jim is discipling key male leaders preparing them to take over the leadership of Living Hope Church. Kay, who leads the children’s ministry, is training teachers for this ministry and for other educational areas of the church. Ask God to give grace and strength to Jim in his responsibilities of overseeing the church planting team in Chincha and assisting the Tarma team. Pray for him as he is teaching a Greek Exegesis course at the Lima Evangelical Seminary and is one of the main workshop speakers at the ADIEL association of churches (Evangelical Free Church denomination in Peru and Venezuela) meeting this month. 

Lima partnership

Pray for Keith and Enrique, ReachGlobal personnel with Latin America Training Network (LATN) as they travel in May to Lima, Peru to sign a partnership agreement with the Evangelical Seminary of Lima. This strategic partnership will include faculty training, the use of LATN’s courses, and the possibility of official recognition of LATN’s programs.

Youth camp in the Amazon

Pray for Blair and Joan, ReachGlobal personnel with strategic partnerships, preparing for a trip to Peru February 1. Their role will be to encourage and assist as needed in the Shipibo Christian Youth Camp, the first camp for the village of Ahuaypa. The camp is being organized and led by the indigenous pastors and church leaders who are moving ministry forward. Pray that the camp will glorify God, bless the participants, witness to the communities, and expand the family of God in the Amazon.

Team travels upriver to unreached villages

Please pray for ReachGlobal staff Blair and Joan as they lead a medical and evangelistic team from Pennsylvania to unreached villages in Peru November 1-17. The team launches from Pucallpa, Peru, traveling three days upriver aboard the Evangelista, partnering with members of the church in Pucallpa as well as pastors and church leaders from Shipibo tribes along the river.

Pray that the team is able to reach all seven villages, that the Lord is glorified through the ministries (adult and pediatric medicine, dentistry, chiropractics, installation of water filtration systems, and distribution of reading glasses) and evangelism, and that many of the indigenous people are touched by the transformational power of the gospel.

Departing for the Field

Pray for Brian and Susan, ReachGlobal candidates, who have raised their support and are leaving for Peru to join the ReachGlobal team in Lima. Pray that God will go before them as they travel. Pray for God’s grace and peace as they transition to life in Lima.
