November's 1st Update - by John Hendee


This will be the first real update since the Board of Directors for Project New Hope International has returned from Peru. One area that I feel the need to bring you up to speed on is winning souls for the Kingdom of God. I keep getting good reports from Mike in Peru. We have been and are making some huge changes in the team in Peru and those changes are starting to bring significant results already. Recently I was working with Mike and Danell on getting the Ambassador training program working well. They have taken it to heart. They are both great Ambassadors!!! They have lead many people to Christ in their time in Peru. But as new field team leaders they decided that they wanted to make it a goal and strategy to train every new Christian how to use the Peace Treaty. I learned years ago that the first things you teach new Christians is what they will do for the rest of their life. In many places the first thing we teach them is to 1) sit and listen in a class or service 2) become a teacher of those who sit and listen. We want new Christians to learn how to share their faith so they will be doing that the rest of their life and be equipped to carry out the great commission.


SSSOOO…

It is starting to take affect. In August our team had 35 people accept Christ and be baptized. They did it in pools, lakes and the ocean. We hope to put our team on the road to leading hundreds to Christ. A tip of the hat to those doing God’s work in Peru! Great job! Keep it up. You are being a great model to us in the U.S.
