March 2012 Update
LIVING BY FAITH – PERU MISSION UPDATE
Most of what we do in this ministry, we do by faith. We see a need, we receive a leading from the Lord regarding it, and then we pray to meet the need by God’s grace and provision. We share the needs with you in our newsletters or with people we meet. Sometimes, God meets the need even before we can share it with you in our newsletter!
I will confess this to you. Sometimes it’s kind of “scary” knowing that the leaders we partner with, and the families they minister to, depend on us to keep our promises to help them in the midst of their poverty. These pastors and leaders are like family to us! They do the hard work on the mission field; we just assist them with it. And many of you assist them as well through your prayers and your gracious responses to the needs you read of in our newsletters.
Let me share one story with you about this process. Several weeks ago during a video conference with our Peruvian leadership team, I mentioned that we were ready to build a new church facility in Valle Verde. Valle Verde is one of the poorest areas we work in; the building there is literally falling apart! At that time I had no idea where the funds would come from. Nevertheless, I knew God desired us to take this step of faith. Over the years, we have learned that to go forward in our service to God, we must take steps of faith to help those in need. I shared this need with one of our supporters. He discussed it with his wife, and the next day he sent me a text asking how much we needed. I replied, and within minutes he wrote back saying, “We will cover it.” Hallelujah!
I get really excited knowing we can move forward in faith on something we feel so strongly about. We are so grateful to the couple who took that step of faith to meet this need in Valle Verde. We’re also thankful to, and thankful for, so many of you who have sacrificed over the years to help us share “God’s Message of Hope” in ways both practical and spiritual in Peru and beyond.

2011 was an awesome year for Message Ministries and Missions Inc. God allowed us to do so much, and we are so grateful to Him as we look back and see all the beautiful opportunities He gave to serve Him. This video is a photo synopsis of those things.
A special thank you goes out to all our mission team members and to all our supporters for your prayers and gifts! Without you these things would not be possible!

Able Hands Vocational Training Center UPDATE!
Praise God! The matching grant opportunity for the Able Hands Vocational Training Center has been met! Anything that comes in above and beyond what has already come in will still go towards the opening of the VTC. We still need to get curriculum and materials to build our first set of prefab homes.
Thank you for your part in making this dream come true for the people of Lomas de Carabayllo. Soon, some will be learning a new trade at the Vocational Training Center you helped to open.
