SEMINAR IN PEDREGAL
After taking the first week off, after returning to Arequipa, we traveled September 12, 19 & 20 to the Pedregal church where we have been conducting sessions on prayer and the human spirit. Our final session for this year will be on November 7. It is always so easy to share in this church because the hunger they have just draws the Word out of you! We have always been so blessed by the fresh reception on every visit to this church. Pastor Diaz knows how to prepare his people to receive from visiting ministers, what a big difference it makes when the pastor guides his people so that they are able to receive and be blessed by guest speakers. Usually when we leave this church we are so drained because of the draw they put on the anointing, that is very rewarding.
This brings to mind an opportunity I had to go to Mexico with the youth group I was leading where we had a negative experience; instead of drawing on the anointing they put a wet blanket on it. I had never had such a hard time ministering in my whole life! Thank God the whole trip was not like that, there were times too where they pulled on the anointing but I just wanted to show you what a difference it makes when they don't pull on that anointing. It is such a blessing and makes ministering easier when visiting churches where pastors guide their people correctly to be able to receive from the other ministry gifts in the church!
Anyway the meetings we have been having have been a tremendous blessing to the Pedregal church. Not only has the pastor commented on how the sessions have been a great blessing but his people as well have been commenting to us how much we have been helping them. It blesses us so much when we are able to be a blessing to pastors, helping them to grow and equip their people in the Word of God!

VISITING CHURCHES
We have also been visiting several new churches since returning to Arequipa! Part of what we are involved in now is having seminars in churches to help equip workers and leaders to do the work of the ministry more effectively. As more doors open we will be able to make an impact in more churches. In October we will be starting a seminar in a new church, La Iglesia Celebracion, pastor Mauricio is a pastor that comes to the monthly pastors' meetings that we assist with. We are looking forward to this new relationship and the opportunity to help equip his people!
