Preaching in Peru – Blog
We have now returned from Barranca and are back in San Isidro, Lima.
This evening, I was teaching a fairly large group of praise and worship leaders in Iglesia Biblica Emmanuel in San Isidro, a church started by Pastor Umberto Lai. A couple of years ago, Pastor Umberto started a political party in Peru and ran for President. Though he was not elected, he used the next years to build his party based on Christian principles. In the recent election in April, he was elected as a Congressman.
My teaching to the praise and worship leaders centred around our ability to let the anointing of God, inside of us, to “leak out” to others. Many of these leaders were visibly touched.
After this session, Jess (Camalari) and I took in a bit of a Christian Rock Concert. There were an estimated 800 to 900 young people in attendance. Quite a show – these young people showed us that there is hope in the world, but that it can only be found in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
