For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Our Mission is to follow through
on Jesus' instructions to His disciples...

A Lenten Thought
One of the ways Jesus challenged His listeners to express this love was that they bless those who curse them (Luke 6:28). The term translated “bless” is the Greek word eulegeo, which could be translated as “pray for.” In fact, Mathew records a similar exhortation by Jesus that His listeners pray for those who persecute them (Matthew 5:44).To bless one’s enemies is not just to do them good, but actually to ask God for their well-being. Jesus emphasized the importance of doing good to one’s enemy in subsequent verses: turning the other cheek (Luke 6:29), giving to someone who steals from you (Luke 6:30), treating others the way you want to be treated (Luke 6:31), lending, expecting nothing in return (Luke 6:35), being merciful
(Luke 6:36), and forgiving (Luke 6:37).
Joyfully,
Marilee :)

Dear Friends & Partners,
Thank you for praying and walking with us. From small churches in Maine to ongoing ministry in Peru, we continue to see God opening doors and changing lives. In Dec, Jan and Feb we have been welcomed by small congregations some of whom meet in church basements during the coldest months to save on fuel costs which helps them support missions.
They are excited to hear what God is doing in Peru and globally. In late Feb and March we plan to share in 2 church missions conferences and then back to Peru.
