In April I received an invitation to speak at the Lima Christian Missionary Alliance churches' missions week. ,"We want you to speak on resistance to the Gospel in Africa.," ,"Despite having been in Africa twice, I don't really know much on this subject,," I replied in a Mosiac ,"Why me?," fashion. ,"But you know lots of missionaries in Africa that you can ask and present what they say!," Gathering the information has been enlightening and a lot of work, and I just finished my powerpoint presentations today. It's interesting how much of what I've read applies to Peru as well. I go to Lima tomorrow and give my presentations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Despite giving up a lucrative career in the USA so that I wouldn't have to wear a suit, I had to break down and buy one for this event. I think it is the third one I've bought so far in my life. Sarah pointed out that I've bought as many suits as I've run marathons. I had one tailor-made here in Arequipa for about $80. I'll have to keep running or it won't fit me soon! Maybe one shouldn't get fit for a suit right after running a marathon?
Please pray that I can encourage Peruvians to heed God's call to be missionaries, if He is calling them to serve Him in Africa.
