SAMARITAN'S PURSE (OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES)

When we were visiting Gabriel and Maria's home, we saw two amazing things: One were the boxes in this picture...don't ever think your prayers and boxes go unnoticed or undelivered...Second, Maria is scrubbing by hand Gabriels travel bag before he leaves to ride on a bus two to three days across the Peruvian border to meet other pastors to evangelize an unreached area....this is called embracing and mobilizing our nationals to the ends of the earth!!

GABRIEL'S HOME,CHURCH AND RADIO PROGRAM

Just a regular day...the antenna fell out of the tree so Gabriel calls for help...man climbs up the tree to reset the radio antenna...after arriving at 6:30 for the program, 4 hours later, we have the radio program. Quichua from all over hear the word of God over the radio every 15 days and Michael does a Bible study in Spanish!!
