Pray about helping the church in Mollendo y Arequipa

Monday, April 17, 2023


Dear friends,


We're so thankful for God's excellent work here in Peru! We've had the honor of preaching in four churches, the Bible, and witnessing the ordination of three incredible young men to the ministry.

We want to share a few needs with you. Several churches still need to purchase their first piece of property. We're asking for your help and prayers for Amador Lovón. He's been a pastor in Mollendo for 17 years but has had to do it in rented buildings. Despite this, God has blessed him with an average of 50 people in attendance. They are working and saving and have nearly $1.000. With $25,000, we can make this purchase a reality. 


Please also consider helping Lenin Velarde, the assistant pastor at Omega Baptist Church. Omega is the same church where our son David Gardner is the pastor. God has already provided them with a piece of property, but now they need more funds to build and move on to the property. They have most of it but need another $15,000.
