Ecc 11:6 LITV Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hand until evening; for you do not know what shall be blessed, this or that; or whether they both shall be good as one. |
| NOW IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME? | |
Ximena sharing in Sunday service. | 1. Remember that this may be the day the Lord returns. The thought of Psalm 118:24 surely includes our rejoicing in the return of the Lord. If I really believe Christ may return today, I'll live differently than I ever have, seeking to affect others for Christ. Nobody knows when He will return, so we ought to live each day as though He will come back today.
2. Use time wisely, make the most of every opportunity (Col. 4:5).Don't make excuses--be involved in the lives of those outside the Lord. Pray daily that God will keep alive in your heart a picture of those who are outside Christ as being lost. Ask God to revive your loving concern that all men be taught of Him, and to help you be involved in every effort to teach them.
3. Treat everyone as if you'll never see them again (Acts 10:37, 38).If we don't take for granted that we'll have time in the future, surely our treatment of each other will greatly improve. Use the time NOW to share a little about Jesus, for you may not have another opportunity.
If we truly believe NOW is all the time we have, what a difference that will make in our lives. It's great to be part of the family of God.

Charles Directing Prayer in Pastors' Meeting |
HELPING HAND TO PASTORS
This year has been a transition year for us. Little by little God has been opening new avenues and opportunities for ministry. For more than nine years we worked diligently equipping the helps ministry in one church. As of the middle of last year we sensed in our hearts the timing to start being a blessing to more pastors and churches. Now, thanks to Wayne & Judy Wagler, we have been afforded the opportunity of teaming up with them assisting them in their monthly meeting with more than 60 pastors and their wives! Our heart has been and still is to be a blessing to pastors and their churches, being a helping hand to them through various types of seminars to help equip volunteers and leaders. Pastors cannot do it alone and therefore need faithful, well-trained people teaming up with them in ministry! And that is one of our main focus here in Peru, "BEING A HELPING HAND TO PASTORS" helping them to train and equip their people to do the work of the ministry!

Our prayer this month for all our partners is from the following verses in Psalms:
Psa 66:12 ASV Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Who is the King of the Jungle -- the Lion or the Elephant? |
A big, mean lion met a monkey in the jungle. The lion pounced on the poor monkey and said, "Who is king of the jungle?" The frightened monkey replied, "You are, O mighty lion." So the lion let him go. The next animal the lion met was a zebra. He pounced on it and roared, "Who is king of the jungle?" "You are, O mighty lion." So the lion let him go. The lion next met an elephant and asked the same question. The elephant grabbed the lion, twirled him around the threw him 50 feet. The lion picked himself up and huffed, "Just because you don't know the answer is no reason to get so rough."
