  • Jesus. They said they know that Hes all powerful. I asked if they prayed and

    We are so blessed to have this opportunity to live with the awesome

    One Year Anniversary

    The Goshorns Step by Step

    It's hard to believe we've been in Peru for a year now, it seems like a blur.

    That means Jennifers birthday is coming up and this makes Matthew very

    happy. As a lot of you know, we go out and eat to celebrate birthdays and

    Matthew found a new place that he thinks we should try. Im sure hes also

    excited because we get to celebrate his moms life:)

    We are so thankful for you, prayer warriors. You all stepped it up when we

    needed prayers about the orphanage and the Lord answered in a way far

    better than we could imagine. Thats not surprise, is it? Then we were sure

    we were going to have to move because our landlords wanted to raise the

    rent. Katherine was so worried because she has made so many friends. We

    put a prayer request out about the situation and again you all stepped it up

    and we have another 1 year contract for the same price as before. Its so

    awesome to watch God answer prayers. We just ask that you keep it UP

    Weve had an opportunity to work with some children about an hour from

    our home for two weeks. It was such a blessing to watch the Lord work in

    these little human beings. Children are the same everywhere. We think that

    in the States we have all these games that we can teach them, but it turns

    out they have the same games we do, they just have different names for it. I

    have observed children in the most poor areas of Costa Rica, Nicaragua,

    Panama and the States and all Ive seen is love and respect, this proves to

    me that hatred is taught. We're created perfect and the world screws us up.

    We are still busy at the orphanage Rosario. The children are becoming

    more and more open with us. Jennifers class is growing and the kids,

    especially the boys are expressing more interest in Christ. I had two little

    boys the other day around 8 or 9 years old talking about

    Ma rch 2 015

    We humbly thank you for your continued prayers

    and financial support. If you havent yet, we ask that

    you would prayerfully consider financially supporting

    this ministry in Peru. Without more financial partners

    this ministry can not continue to grow. We love you

    all and thank you for being part of Gods work in

    Peru.

    The BibThe Bibles

  • Listening Weve been digesting everything that has been happening in just over a month since weve returned

    from the states. Doors are opening and we ask that you join us in prayer to discern which ones the Lord

    is leading us through. When I say leading us, this means you and us. We need to make sure we are

    listening to His voice only. As of now we have prison ministry opportunities, discipleship opportunities in

    our communities, opportunity to join with a group of Peruvians praying with prostitutes in Huancayo,

    continued opportunities at the orphanage, a possible opportunity of working with another orphanage of

    mentally handicapped children, opportunities to open up areas to the gospel through short term mission

    teams from the states and much more. We cant do them all, even though we want to, so we need to

    listen and follow. We continue to be amazed, and probably will always be, at how God

    can use us. Thats when I realized, again, that together we can make

    a difference. We are so thankful that you've listened. Jesuss

    command to the early church was to carry the good news to other

    places. In 2 Thessalonians 3 Paul says Brothers and sisters, pray for

    us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored,

    just as it is with you. When Paul says pray for us, he is talking about

    you and I. God is not willing that any perish, as it says in 2 Peter 3:9.

    His plan is for you and I to share the gospel with the people around

    us, where ever that might be. He could have chosen any means He

    wanted at sharing the gospel, but He chose you and I. How

    AWESOME is that! We just need to listen. I, which is singular, cant do much, but you and I are the Body

    of Christ, which is plural, with all our resources together can spread the gospel throughout the world. I

    know with all the evil and persecution going on in the world now, its easy to become discouraged and

    give up. We need to stay focused on the Lord. This is all about Him and not us. This is His story.

    Deuteronomy 31: 8 says The Lord is indeed going before you, He will not fail or abandon you. Do not be

    afraid or discouraged. We need to put all things in His hands, then listen and trust. His ways are always

    the best ways and correct. He will always supply us with what we need, weve learned this here in Peru.

    Some of the last words Jesus spoke in Matthew 28: 1820 were All authority in heaven and on earth

    has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the

    Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded

    you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

    So from the bottom of my heart, I as well as several Peruvians that we are working with, want to thank

    you for your obedience and listening to the Lord and being a part of Gods Great Commission. Again,

    please be in prayer that we choose Gods will and not ours.

    And He will reign forever and ever. Amen
