Blogging from Peru

Since the summer of 2001, I have been fortunate enough to travel to Chincha, Peru, on five different occasions. The Iglesia Metodista del Peru is active there, doing the kind of ministry that would make John Wesley himself proud. They are supporting poor and hungry children, and taking the glad tidings of salvation to people in deep need.

I have a friend there, a Methodist pastor named Pedro Uchuya-Torres. Pedro is a model of faithfulness to me. Besides working full-time in a school, he has pastored a local church, coordinated city-wide ministries among various Methodist churches, and served as a district superintendent - all at the same time.

Pedro wrote me recently to say that he had been moved from Chincha to Ica, which is a larger city nearby. He'll maintain his residence in Chincha, where he will continue to serve as teacher and administrator at his school. And he will no doubt keep making his over-sized contribution to the kingdom of God.

Pedro also wrote to say that he has started a blog! Check it out here. And drop him a line when you get a chance, to let him know that his brothers and sisters in los Estados Unidos are praying for him and his ministry.
