May/June 2010 Prayer Letter

Dear Pastors and Praying Friends,

“GOD LEADS HIS DEAR CHILDREN ALONG”
Pastor David and I have the opportunity to visit and disciple several afternoons and evenings each week. Every Friday night, I am privileged to teach a Bible study group at a church member’s home. It is encouraging to see people so hungry to learn from the Word of God. We praise the Lord that in the last few weeks, we’ve seen several folks come to know Christ and others start coming to church!

On May 25, we were leaving a church member’s home after discipleship, and it was quite a bit later than usual. We were walking down the street when a young woman whom we had never seen before called out to us. She wanted to know what church we were from. Weeping, she told us that her baby girl had died just a few weeks earlier and that she was now suffering from deep depression. David beg an to share with her how she could see her baby again by trusting Christ as
Savior. She prayed right there and accepted the Lord as Savior. She seemed to find great comfort from the story of David and his little one that died in 2 Samuel 12. How exciting that the Lord placed
us in the right place at the exact right time to be able to see this young woman come to know Christ! God is so good!

Answered Prayer:

• The Lord supplied us with a car! I’m still getting used to driving here, but we’re so thankful for the blessing of being able to get around more conveniently.

• God worked in a special way during our Family Conference May 2 & 3. Three people accepted Christ and many more made decisions to serve the Lord as a family.

• We praise the Lord for Alberto and Miriam setting an example with their wedding on May 15. Another couple in the church were also married May 30. We’re thrilled to see these young people choosing to be obedient to the Lord!

• God blessed this semester at the Bible College. We’re so excited to see the students progressing and learning from God’s Word.

• Sara is doing well with the pregnancy and is feeling much better!

• God blessed in a great way during the medical clinic held June 7-10. I had the opportunity to assist in translation again this year. 1700 people came through, were treated, and were given
  the Gospel. Nearly 700 made professions of faith.

Prayer Requests:

• One young man from the English classes has been coming to services the last few weeks. Please keep praying for this outreach!

• Please pray for Olga, Jesus, and Luis to accept Christ. These are folks we have been visiting.

Thank you so much for your faithful support and for holding us up in prayer! May the Lord bless you in a mighty way!

Your Servants in Perú,
Robert, Sara, Josiah & Caleb Stover
