Every now and again, we like to highlight some ministries so that you might know how to be praying, and if God lays it on your heart, where you might direct any gifts above and beyond the tithe. This week, we’d like to draw your attention to Peru Mission. They plant churches, provide Christian education to children, help at-risk children, and much more in Peru. They are a commendable ministry and you can learn more about them at perumission.org.

Ministry and mission happens both abroad and nearer to home. The church in Bristol, TN continues to wage both spiritual, and unfortunately a somewhat physical battle with the forces of evil bent on destroying unborn human life. Erica, who helps lead a lot of the protests of abortion, was attacked and thrown to the ground some time back. The lawsuit to bring justice to this situation was, unfortunately, dismissed. A case involving violence against another in their ranks, Sammy, is ongoing. Pray that justice can be brought out of the clearly corrupt court systems there in Bristol.

And to end this newsletter out on a more positive note, we’re thankful to hear that Phil and Leslie are nearing the closing of their new home purchase. Pray that the process will continue without problems and will go smoothly for them so that the closing can proceed at the end of March, as planned.
