I knew God was calling me on this specific trip, so I set out to make myself available to Him to use as He saw fit. I came prepared to preach on two separate occasions. I also thought I'd be assisting with one-on-one ministry with the Pat's Place women. However, I was called to spend that time painting another mural in Pat's Place, this time in the entry courtyard with the help of Roxane Leach. I was blessed with spending time with most of the team members and getting to know them better. My favorite part of the trip was on the night that Alex and I preached together at a church that was new to us; when we invited the congregation up for prayer, I had the privilege to pray with a young girl name Anjulie with the translation assistance of Gina Quispe. Anjulie said she struggled with anxiety and depression but wanted to grow spiritually. I told her that I had been fully delivered from anxiety and depression there in Peru in 2016, so I knew it was possible for her. Gina and I prayed the enemy away from her, she collapsed in my arms in wailing, and I do truly believe that she was delivered. That is a night I will never forget.
From Laura Ali
Serving this group is a blessing in my life because I learn to support myself and depend on God. When I get home and ask God, how did I hear it? Knowing the limitations and care for my knee, but every morning I tell God "I will serve your children, help me my God, give me wisdom and strength for any mishap that may happen. In that week my grandson with a fever, my daughter Estefania with a migraine in the emergency room and they entered the building where I live they robbed all 4 apartments but in their infinite Grace the thieves did not enter my apartment. God covers and protects his people. Thank you for coming to know what Amor Real does to help people who need that love and care. Thank you Pastor Roberto and Jennifer and your Church for being in your prayers. And to everyone who helped on this team to get the coffee ready in the morning and help her serve the food. To Tim for his time in fixing the house with my demands so that it turns out perfect almost perfect...☺ for your well-being. Thanks to Alex for the great job you do.
