Dear Prayer Warriors,

　　There is nothing impossible for God. We are so thankful that God has brought us back to Peru.  We were welcomed very warmly by the “hot weather of Lima.”  We thank the Lord that we did not have to move and that we only had to clean the house thoroughly.

Prayers were answered. 

　　The wedding of Tony and Jenel was very blessed.  We went to Laredo, Texas one week before their wedding.  All the 6 bridesmaids and groomsmen came from different places: Scotland, Canada, Chicago, Miami, etc. The ceremony was so meaningful with the communion service.  The newlyweds went to Hawaii for their honeymoon. We all went back to Hong Kong for the Home assignment and another Chinese wedding banquet was held for our families in Hong Kong.  It was so touching that many brothers and sisters participated in the program, like the praise team, music, power point, photographers, etc.  Actually, it was a “Thanksgiving” banquet to celebrate our Wonderful Lord for His faithfulness upon our family and His Love upon Tony and Jenel.  Please continue to pray for Tony and Jenel.  Jenel will continue to pursue her studies in the Masters Degree Program.  Please pray that God's will be done in their lives. 

Grace is recovering from her problem of sleep.  

　　We arrived on Thursday and the following Sunday was the 23rd anniversary of the Chinese Church in Lima.  We were very thrilled to see God’s work there.  God really answered prayers.  Grace had been so concerned for the need of the ministry in Lima while she was in the States for the Home Assignment.  Now, she can see that God does care for His church.  In the church, they have a Chinese pastor who has the vision to reach the Chinese and the Peruvians. Though he does not speak Chinese yet, he has the heart for the Chinese.  Besides the pastor, they also have an associate pastor who is Chinese but does not speak the Chinese language.  They work well together with the deacons.  One lady missionary who can speak Mandarin came from Argentina.  She has been helping the Mandarin group for nearly one year.  The church is growing.  We are very thankful to the Lord for bringing His workers together. 

　　We are thankful to the Lord for having brought 16 new students for the coming term.  More details will be shared in another e-mail.  They just arrived with enthusiasm to learn, serve, and work.  We praise the Lord that our faculty families are increased.  We have two more families living on campus.  They were previously students, and now are professors.  We are very thrilled to see that His servants were well equipped and are willing to come back to serve Him together.

Prayer requests :

We thank you for all your support. Your faithful support makes our ministry possible in Peru. It is very important to train the Christian leaders to go to His Vineyard to plant His church.
　　

Serving with you,

Otto & Grace
