And we're into the final month





























































Dear all,

It hasn’t been an easy month for Mision Rescate 4. It’s with great sadness that I write that Judith’s father passed away due to an illness of the stomach and it has been a difficult time for Judith and the family as they have come to terms with their loss and for the team as they have sought to support Judith in this time. Judith has decided that she needs to be at home to support her family in Tacna but continues to be part of the team as she supports the work and prays for all within the team. The team have continued on with the work of Mision Rescate and have sought to follow the Lord and His purposes at this time.

In the last weeks the team have been working with the Missionary alliance church in Tacna during their 3-day Missionary Conference which brings together different churches for encouragement, prayer and teaching in the area of missions. They presented the Amazing Journey at this conference.
- Pray that the Churches would have been encouraged and God would bless friendships made
- Pray that Churches would make use of the Amazing Journey and this would be a great tool in witnessing to local communities

They team have also been leading meetings in the Ite Church with the girls taking the Ladies meeting on the 30th June and the team organizing the Young People’s meeting on 1st July and following Sunday meeting. With only the month of July left before Mision Rescate 4 finish their time in the Campsite pray that god would work in the relationships that have developed with young people and church members in Ite and that they would have many conversations and opportunities to chare God’s word with people in Ite.

July is set to be a jammed packed month, the plan is as follows….
5th – 8th July – Pastor’s and Leaders’ Conference in the Camp Centre
11th-15th July – Leader’s Conference in Tacna
16th-17th July – Helping at the Camp Centre with a Church from Tacna
19th – 20th July – Amazing Journey in Ilo
22nd – 24th July – Visit to Tarata, Tacna
27th – 30th July – Youth Conference at the Camp Centre and farewell to the Team
31st July – Farewell for the Team in the Ite Church
1st August – Team members return home

I know that the team will appreciate your prayers for each of these upcoming activities, but more than that how much our prayers are needed. We all have a desire to finish well and to serve God in every opportunity He gives and our prayers are needed that the Lord would use this last month for His glory and use His people.


Acts 20:24
24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
We do not run a race alone, we need support, we need training, we need encouragement, to push on and to give everything we have in those final meters of the race. Please continue in your prayers for the team that this last month will be a time of training and encouragement and that they will complete their task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace in everything the team will do in July.

- Pray for Mision Rescate 5, there have been a number of people interested from both Ireland and Peru, pray that the Lord would guide those interested and Trevor and Gordon as they meet with candidates
- Pray for Trevor as he returns to Ireland on deputation and for Christine, the family and Luz-Maria as they continue the work of Mission
- Pray for the team in the coming months as they return to their homes and churches, that they would be used by God in new and exciting ways and for those who have agreed to help out in the Ite church in Trevor’s absence
