Teaching in Peru
A couple weeks ago we received a reference of a man named
Cesar. He lives way up in the hills or more like mountains. He has a fence in
front of his house, so I jumped it real quick, knocked his door, and then
jumped back over the fence , yelled his name, all of that about three different
times and we could not find him.
Anyway, just the other day we were kind of in
the area and I had an impression that we should go one last time to see if we
can find him. We got to his house and a man was standing outside. We asked him
if he knew a man named Cesar. He said, "I’m Cesar. Could you come in and
offer a prayer for me? My dad had just
passed away two days ago."
We entered the house, offered a kneeling prayer with him,
and then explained where his father is and a little bit about the plan God has
for us to return to live with Him again. In this moment, he was very happy to have
heard and learned more about the life after death, but more than that he showed
a sincere desire to change, to live a better life.
We invited him to church
with us Sunday and he accepted. We were sitting in church for 20
minutes...nothing... then we see Cesar making his way towards the church
building, him, his wife, their kids, and his mother. He told me that he had taught
his family the things we had taught to him. He found a lot of people he knew in
the church and is very ready to make the changes necessary in his life for him
and for his family.
