News from Peru

Dear Friends and Family, July 27, 2011

Lew and I wanted to thank all of you for your outpouring of love and support. Your generosity has overwhelmed us and we are so very grateful. We wanted you all to know we are healing well (I am fully recovered) and Lew’s leg, though still infected, is on the mend.

We also would like to tell you of the great progress made on the new orphanage being constructed in Characato by Jose and Gloria Ingalls, the parents of the orphanage in Pachacutec. The team from Northside Community Church in Eufala, AL just left this past Friday afternoon after a grueling week of construction. Thank you so much, Northside!

Left to right these are before, during and after pictures of the garden projects both inside and outside the building. They also handed out tracts, visited 2 orphanages, the feeding center, and Pastor Rod preached twice on Sunday. In addition they loved on us, prayed for and blessed us. Our granddaughter Rachel and Steve Glenn also helped and are therefore included in the team photo. Steve Glenn came from Joplin, MO where his parents are members of the same church my brother, Mark Liston, attended for several years. Steve came at a time when we needed him most and helped us through our time of crisis. We know the Lord sent him to help us get through this difficult time. Thank you, Steve.

God bless you all for all you have done for us and especially for your prayers which we know are daily keeping us safe. God doesn’t move without the prayers of His people going beforehand. Thank you so much and we love you.

Lew and Mariesa
