Brazos Abiertos

Our Feast of Light is focused on telling the children and families of the community that they should not celebrate darkness, that is, no Halloween, but we can celebrate life because Jesus conquered death and He lives in us.
As a church we understand the importance of being light in this world, as it says in Matthew 5:14-16. You are the light of the world; a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
So let us shine the light of Jesus in every home and family.
The party was a great blessing for the glory of God, it was carried out in a wonderful way, each child was able to see and understand that we must celebrate Christ in their lives and not death.

The missionary trip to the central jungle of Peru was a success. We traveled for more than 9 hours to the brothers of the Castillo Fuerte church in Satipo and Pastor Reyes received us with great joy. We began our activities with visits to families and talks for the men. In the afternoons we carried out sports and recreational activities for children, adolescents and young people.

Our work continued at the Emmanuel church in the town of Paratushiali. Here we have evangelized in the streets, squares and avenues, since the church had few members. In the mornings we made visits, in the afternoons we did sports, recreational and cosmetology activities for women and in the evenings we had family services in the town’s central square. During this time many young people accepted Jesus in their hearts and many brothers were restored. We said goodbye praying for the pastor and the church of Paratushali. But the mission still continues, we continue to disciple through calls and messages to the brothers and new converts of the Emmanuel church in Paratushiali, we are going for more.

Every year, on October 10th, World Mental Health Day is celebrated. The goal is to raise awareness about mental health issues around the world.
The importance of mental health lies in the fact that, in its absence, a person is unable to function properly in their environment.
Its absence also often compromises a person’s physical health, generating pathologies and illnesses that can become chronic. This is why it is as important to take care of it as we take care of our physical body.
For this reason, we teach our students how important it is to take care of our mental health as children of God.

I am Emmanuel, a Physical Education teacher serving as a missionary in the ministry of YWAM Lima Open Arms in Peru. I want to tell you that the grace and love of God is reflected in the lives of all the children with whom we have the opportunity to serve. Our responsibility as Christians is to form children for life, prepared for every good work, intellectually, in sports practice and values. But above all, to guide them in faith so that they know the love of Jesus at an early age, so we invite you to join the mission of Matthew 28:19. God bless you.

This week in art class we talked about Jonah and the consequences of disobedience. The students made a fish with CDs and colored leaves, beautiful works. Nature is the greatest work of art created by God, the students stamped tree leaves on a cardboard painted black with colored tempera. With the help of God we continue to promote intelligent creative recycling. Through the creation of mobiles with plastic bottles, more than 100 bottles were reused in these creations.

We started a month dedicated to learning about the work that YWAM missionaries do around the world. Third grade children, between 8 and 9 years old, researched with their teacher about the reality of the countries in the 10-40 Window, and asked missionaries Willem and Oscar to explain about islam and buddhism, which is practiced in most of these countries. Finally, all the children in the school prayed for these nations that God would send workers to their harvest, and they opened their hearts to be sent in the will of God.
