Here we are at the eve of our departure and have been
advised that our support level has been sufficiently reached (Pledge budget at 97%)
and we have been given the green light by Pioneers. This was another faith provision for us as intentionally
we had no Plan B.
How do we say thank you from the depths of our hearts with
just words? Our family and friends and
especially those in our Life Source Church - you are amazing beyond words! Not to mention the incredible honouring we
received on our last Sunday morning for 3 years at Lifesource. THANK YOU for sharing in our calling to help
the Quechua people, to tell them the good news of Jesus. They will be impacted eternally as they hear
the Gospel over the radio and see it on their television screens. They will also be impacted physically as health
and educational programs equip them with needed health and wellbeing information.
It is written in Isaiah 55:11 – the Word that goes forth out of my mouth will not return to me
void. The Word is true and we know there
will be a mighty harvest of souls. This
harvest extends further throughout Peru and potentially beyond.
We have been overwhelmed with the love, support,
encouragement and incredible generosity that you have extended to us. This has been nothing short of the
personified love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ - which is of course what
we are going to extend to the Quechua people in partnership with you.
To be honest about this - it has been an exciting but also a
difficult and challenging journey for our family as we prepare to go. But God has been there at the right time with
the right people all along the way. This
has given us the assurance that “God’s got it!”. It has been a faith journey for us from the
beginning, as we are convicted from Hebrews 11:6 that we cannot please God
without faith and as we fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of our
faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We look forward to sharing the journey with you along the
way in words and pictures yes, but most importantly - from all our hearts to
yours. We want to be an encouragement to
you as to what God has done, is doing and will do not just in our lives but in
yours.
Love in Christ,
The Welches
