Lima, Peru

Jeff was in Lima, Peru for a ministry training event with local Assembly of
God missionaries, Rich and Wanda Ferguson and their children Paul (9) and
Angela (5). Rich and Wanda have been in the
mission field for 13 years, 11 of them in Lima. Their ministry extends far beyond
the city limits, into the surrounding mountain villages and throughout the
country. Rich and Wanda were key points of contact in the ministry relief
effort after the devastation of an earthquake that hit there in September.
Jeff spent seven days working with the Master’s
Commission team under the Ferguson’s leadership. This team of 25
students ranging in age from 18 to 30 is a vibrant gathering of Peruvian
nationals who are committed to the evangelization of their country and the
remote regions of that area.
They have accepted a call to live exemplary
lives of selfless devotion and teach the gospel through creativity. Jeff
had the privilege to teach storytelling, drama, movement, and creativity.
The team worked on several ministry pieces produced from our resources
“Movement for Non-Movers” to include “Testify to Love”, “Still Her Little
Child”, “Shine, Jesus, Shine” and “How Beautiful.” The team already knew
several other pieces from our training series, so it was a thrill for Jeff
to see them perform his material and know that they were sharing these
pieces throughout the area.

After a short ministry opportunity with the local International Christian School in Lima, Jeff was the featured speaker at The King’s Castle Ministry annual retreat.
Over
75 children’s ministry workers
throughout the country traveled to Lima for this two-day event to be trained
and encouraged. It was a rich and rewarding ministry opportunity. Our
thanks to the Ferguson's for their generous and warm hospitality and to the
Master’s Commission team in Lima who demonstrated the love of Christ through
their service and compassion.

Below is the video clip we created for our 20th Anniversary Celebration on May 31, 2008 documenting Jeff's many mission trips. We were so excited to include some of your trips as well! Thank you for the many pictures and stories you sent of how God is using this ministry to reach the nations!
