I traveled to Iquitos, Requena and Jenaro Herrera with Missionary Amaro Zapata, who serves God in Piura, in the IB Jesus the Good Shepherd. Pastor Amaro preached and taught in Iquitos and Requena. I preached and taught in Requena and Jenaro Herrera.
In Iquitos, Missionary Amaro Zapata taught Biblical Doctrine. In his class there were between 16 to 18 siblings. There were three pastors and three churches represented in his classes. On Sunday, he preached in church services. (Photo: The missionary Amaro and I with Milton, Douglas and Carlos in Iquitos).

In Jenaro Herrera, I taught and preached on the anniversary of the New Life Baptist Church, which is in charge of Pastor Isidoro Del Aguila, who is one of ABCDE Requena students. I taught biblical principles to have a good marriage. In the Sunday service, I preached the gospel of our Lord. In Jenaro Herrera, 6 new disciples were baptized. I’m happy, this church was abandoned and is returning to take heart. Pray for Pastor Isidoro, may God continue using him in this town. (Photo: I am with tree people that baptized).

In Requena, we taught two courses during the day: Biblical Doctrine and Interpreting Right the Bible. We had 14 and 20 students respectively.
At evenings, we had Bible conferences for people from churches. Attendance was good, but we want to reach more brothers and churches in the city.
At conferences we spoke about the features of a good local church and how do missions work. (Photo: I with the students learning the word of God).

In Requena, God gave us the opportunity to baptize a brother who was not baptized. He himself came up with the request after hearing that the disciples of Christ must be obedient.
Also, in Requena we have three students who have completed the 10 core courses at ABCDE Requena. God willing, we will deliver their certificate in November. (Photo: Amaro with the brother that baptized).
Requena ABCDE Directive continues to work well. They have a one hour radio program in which preach the gospel and teach the word of God. Bethesda Baptist Church is in a period of changes. In November they will call a new pastor. Pray for that, I’d like that one of the members of the board of Requena ABCDE be the pastor. May God’s will be done on this.
I would like to organize two camps in Requena on holiday season: one for children and one for youth and adolescents. It’s an idea for now. I am confident that we can do this at some point.
God bless you very much and thank you for supporting the work of God in this remote part of Peru.
