Being creative in Lima

Greetings brothers,
Hoping in God that all of you are well with his blessing. We know that many of our brothers have been physically affected by Covid-19, but that thank God they are already recovered or in the process, some of our brothers have also gone through this, but they are already better.

As previously mentioned, our activities as an institution have continued, albeit virtually, in the month of May we have taught the course "Planting Churches", we have had five students connected during this course in a virtual way. But everyone continues to be a challenge especially due to the limitations both with the devices and their respective internet or data services, even so, everyone has made and continues to make a great effort to stay active in the classes and also when fulfilling their assignments.


During this month of June the course that is being taught is I, II Pedro and Judas. Responsible for the presentation of the course is our brother Abraham Alata, according to his reports five students are connecting in the course as well.

For now, the only thing we are dedicated to is teaching, most are not carrying out any activity related to the ministry as far as we know, in addition to being participants of their ecclesiastical meetings in their respective congregations, in fact, there are only some churches that They have implemented virtual services, and it is a small percentage of siblings who have access or knowledge of technology, limiting them to having family gatherings at home.

This is the case, for example, of José Medina, one of our students, who is having family reunions during this quarantine period. On the other hand, we have Alejandro Berrio, another one of our students, in the church where Abraham and I preach and we have him active presenting a series of topics in a virtual program that we have prepared for him, in which he operates with great comfort.

All this situation is demanding of us, a lot of creativity to continue trying to reach many with the gospel and stimulate them to their spiritual growth. At the moment the quarantine continues, although gradually some things are beginning to be reactivated, although taking all possible security measures. In the case of churches it is not yet legal to open the doors, on Sundays mass gatherings are generally prohibited, which includes churches or educational centers. We hope to have some favorable reports at the end of the month, however we are all aware that the problem with the virus is still latent in the streets. We trust God that this will happen, and that things will gradually get better!
