(Carta en Español aquí)

Hey! Look at us! We got a prayer letter out just two months after the last one!

I hope this letter finds you and yours enjoying a wonderful summer in the northern hemisphere! We are now in our winter, but it has been warm, and that’s fine with us!

Since we last talked, we have had some wonderful things happen. I know that all God does here is made possible through your prayers and support, so before anything else, thank you for making ministry here in Peru possible. Without you, we could never do this work. Thank you for being such a vital part of it.

Our crazy schedule has not slowed down. We have had several families visit, multiple weeks of recording, and the blessing of our people hearing from many servants of God along the way. I recently spoke with a missionary in Mexico who was surprised by how many people visit us, considering how far we are from the US compared to Mexico. We are truly blessed that so many love us enough (or are desperate enough) to come see us in Lima.

In June, we held our church’s first family conference. Last year, while planning our calendar, we set aside these dates and invited our good friend Pastor José Luis Fuentes from Santo Domingo, Ecuador, to speak. We were excited when he accepted and knew we would have a wonderful conference. But God had bigger plans. In March, Heather heard from a good friend who would be in Lima in June, and God worked it out for Evangelist Carlos Chacón and his wife, Marí, to be with us on those same dates. God worked in many ways, and the families of our church, including our own, were blessed by many edifying classes about the family and God’s design for the home.

Please pray for us as we take 25+ of our teenagers to a youth conference here in Lima at the end of July. We have already seen God do great things through this conference, and we look forward to what He will do this year. Pray that our teenagers will attend, participate, and allow God to work in their hearts.

We now have six social media channels operating in different countries, with a seventh launching in Central America in August. Please pray as we record new content and prepare to carry the Gospel to millions of people throughout the region. This year, we also opened a new channel specifically for teenagers, and it has been wonderful to see God work through it.

For my fellow numberphiles, I recently built a live results page for our social media ministry. You can find it at hedderman.org/results. It is a wonderful little page that shows what God is doing across Latin America from our small corner of Lima, Peru.

We are also praying for partners who would like to help meet a specific need. We are seeking to raise an additional $200 to $300 per month to reach even more people with the Gospel through Heather’s ladies’ program and our new teenage program. A monthly gift of any amount would help us create and promote more Gospel content for these important audiences. Please pray that God will provide, and consider whether He might allow you to have a part in this effort.

Thank you for all you enable us to do here. May God continue to bless you and yours!

- Josh, Heather, and Joseph Hedderman
