Blessings to all of you, brothers and sisters from HeartCry. We thank God so much for you and for what God is doing through you. This was a blessed month for the glory of God continuing with the work which God is showing us to do. In the evangelistic ministry we are seeing how God is using this ministry to encourage brothers and sisters from our church and other churches too. There are new members in the evangelism team of our church, bold young men and women who God saved and now are testifying of the great salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am very happy to see how people are being confronted with their sins and are being called to repent and trust in Christ. There is a young woman who we met at the park in one of our evangelistics efforts, who confessed to a sinful lifestyle to my wife and me, then she began to attend the services and it seemed that she wanted to leave her terrible lifestyle. She came several times but then she disappeared. After a while she came back to purchase a Bible, but we didn't see her again until two weeks ago when she came to the service and told us that she was very well and attending her mother's church which was very near to their home. We don't know if she is saved or not, but it seems that she is changing, we hope for a change that comes from God. Anyways, this is really encouraging to know that some of the people who have listened to the word of God are leaving their wrong ways and coming to the Lord. This is the second person with this particular sinful lifestyle who is already attending a church, we met one young man some months ago in the same park who is attending a church which is very far from ours, but he wrote an e-mail letting us know that he is seeking God. To God be the glory! Also, there is a young man who is beggining to come to the youth group, one of our brothers testified to him at the park too. Afterwards we talked to him and he says that he wants to continue seeking God. We are praying for him. We can see by these testimonies that we are preaching in a very strategic point of the city, where we can find people from all over Lima, Peru, and also from all over the world because is one of the main touristic sites in our country. Also this is a good place for the propagation of the biblical gospel among the many so called Christians who visit this park. For this reason we have created a new gospel tract called: "Examine Yourself!", which is directed to exhort them to check the validity of their profession. We are also giving away dvds to the people who request it. In regards to the School of Evangelism, we didn't have a meeting at our church this month, but we went to missionary Carlos M.'s church to teach in an evangelism conference there which lasted three days. It was a real blessing and an encouragement for us to see many brothers and sisters going out in the streets proclaiming the everlasting gospel to the lost. We taught about biblical evangelism and answered some of the questions they had. Now, they are planning to do evangelism on a regular basis. Our evangelism web site is having many entries too, from brothers and sisters from many parts of the world. Some of them already requested our evangelism dvds, and some other resources. We have added many other resources to our page such as videos, articles, audio, new evangelism tracts which people can download and print in their own places. We are aware on how people need resources from the internet, so we are making it a matter of much importance the growth of our diversity of evangelism resources through the web, therefore we are very encouraged to see how people are preparing to get ready to preach the gospel to every creature using these kind of resources. As a result of the evangelism school, there is one brother from a Pentecostal church who came to testify with us in one of our evangelism days, and he went back to his church to talk to the pastor who was about to enter into the heretical G12 movement. During the day of evangelism and after talking to one of our brothers about this, he talked to his pastor, who was praying for an answer from God, so he decided not to enter into that movement. Now they are watching some videos about the true gospel and we are praying for God to open their understanding to the true doctrines. In the preaching ministry, we are preaching on Wednesdays and Fridays as always at our evangelistic site in the town of Miraflores, and on a daily basis in buses and giving away tracts to the people who listen to the gospel. Also, this month we preached on one ocasion in a Catholic procession, and outside of a so called charismatic community, reaching many young men and women with the true gospel, and giving away many tracts to them. Although with the Catholics we found a hard opposition from the religious people trying to stop us from preaching, all of them listened to the Word of God because we preached using a megaphone. Outside of the charismatic community we used a megaphone too. We pray that these evangelistic efforts would bear fruit in God's time for His glory and honor. Also, I'm serving at the church of The Savior in Barranco in many other activities as one of the deacons of our church, which is an undeserved privilege for me. To end this report, I want to thank you very much for all your help, prayers and support, and we pray that God continue to bless you and use you for His glory and honor. Please pray for us to follow faithfully the guidance from God and to be humble servants of Christ for His glory. In Christ, Alfonso N.
