Dear family & friends,
I am writing this letter to update you on some exciting news. For the last year or so I have had a desire stirring in me to go back on a missions trip. Now that desire has turned into reality. This April I have been asked to join a team of four other people to go to Peru. To be exact, it’s a very small village called San Damian. The village sits about 11,500 ft. above sea level, in the middle of the Andes Mountains. The particular village that we are going to minister to, is not very large, about 175 to 200 people. Among this group of people there are only 2 believers who know Jesus Christ. This is very exciting time of ministry. I count a very big privilege to take the gospel to such a remote corner of the world.
There are several things that I ask you partner with me in prayer about. First, that God would, even now, start to prepare the hearts of the people of San Damian. Secondly, for traveling safety of our team. In this part of Peru there are a lot of diseases that could pose a threat to all of us on the team. Thirdly, that we would be able to present the Gospel in a clear way. This is a huge part, was we will presenting the Gospel in a story telling way. About 95% of the villagers are functional illiterates, reading and writing is very limited..
One of the things that I believe we take for granted more than anything else in our lives, is the invitation that God has given us, through Jesus Christ, to have a personal relationship with Him. It’s sad to say that we, even as believers, we often forfeit time with God for the many details in our day. The same details that we so desperately need Him to work in.. But reflecting in this, it breaks my heart to think of the many that have not yet heard of the loving, living relationship that we can have with our Lord. Of the saving grace that is so freely given to us through the blood He shed on the cross for our sins.
If you would like to know how you could help our team in other ways, to bring the Gospel to this remote part of the world , please feel free to contact me. May God bless you for your support to bring the gospel to an area that so desperately needs it.
Doing as HE leads,
David Rodriguez
