POJ in Villarrica, Chile / Richard / July 28

DEAR RICHARD,

I am on the verge of traveling to Lima and then on to Sao Paulo, returning on 14 August.

So, Pastor Jaimi is in charge of sending some brief but profound testimonies. 

All the Small Group Guides meet every Tuesday to study the Person of Jesus with Ivonne, my wife ... from that group we will surely get what you ask, or even some from the groups.

Last night I led a group that finished with coffee...was a blessing to me.
A hug.

POJ Groups in Chilean Church / Richard / July 19

Today I received this email from Pastor Miguel from Villarrica, Chile. I led the Person of Jesus training at the church in June 2010. Enjoy.

Dear Richard,
Greetings and blessings in Christ Jesus from the cold region of Villarrica, Chile! 
We have not had a more blessed time in our church than when you were here doing the Person of Jesus training. Since April we have started Life Groups, bringing together a large number of people around this Study of Love. The Person of Jesus has been a hit with everyone.
The Life Groups meet in homes throughout the city. There are 18 groups with 6 to10 people in each group with more than 100 people in total.
I hope to share later with you in another email some testimonies and results, along with the names of the leaders of each Person of Jesus Life Group so you can pray for them. Meanwhile, it would be great if you can send them an email greeting.
I hope you feel encouraged to return to Chile someday.

Your friend and servant,

Pastor Miguel Angel Rivera

Looking at Jesus / Paul / July 5

N.T. Wright puts his finger on what is missing in evangelical circles. I know that Wright has errors in his stuff, but he is still a brilliant scholar who is deeply in love with our Savior.
