Summer 2009

Dear Co-workers in the Peruvian Andes,

There is an article on the Baptist Mid-Missions website (www.bmm.org) about retirement … written by me.   I do hope you will look at it and pray that it will be effective. I have been working on a guest apartment. It’s not glamorous, but it is cost-effective at $1.00 per day per person.

Dina, my Peruvian co-worker, and I made a trip to Quillabamba, planning to go 4 hours further into the jungle. We were going for a church anniversary where we had been asked to speak to the women. She has prepared the same lessons to present in Quechua as I have in Spanish. However, we couldn’t go further into the jungle because of a strike. The anniversary had to be postponed to a future date. We have other speaking invitations for the end of June and July.

The ‘Rincon Cultural” (the Corner, my outreach center) is doing well. I am using the book of Luke, that was given to me by a church, for my advanced English class. For the 10-14 year olds, how would you answer the question: “Who is God’s representative here on earth?” I’m glad to have Diana there to answer the questions, too. As a graduate of our Seminary (Bible Institute) in Urubamba, she knows her Bible well.

The dollar is weakening again. I am so grateful for each of you who are faithful with your support of prayers and finances. May God bless you as you serve Him in the place He has given you.

Love and prayers,

Lois Hutchinson
