Darkness is not hard to find in Iberia, Peru. Witches advertise their wares openly bartering for the souls of men and women. Churches are few and Bibles are hard to find. There is little access to hear God’s liberating word. Hearts are cowered in fear and for many there is no fear of God.

Our GO team determined an invasion was necessary, the light of the Gospel would come and darkness would be dispelled. We finally arrived, an entourage of 31 Americans and Peruvians. When nightfall came we set up the Jesus film and the musicians beckoned the residents to come for the viewing. By 8:00pm the life of Jesus unfolded to a crowd of 300 people. They heard His words, witnessed his miracles, saw Him crucified. It is always at that moment that decision is now bearing down on the heart of an unbeliever. Jesus, the perfect Son of God laid His life down for me and you. “What must I do to be saved?”

His convincing work is evident as throngs of people surge forward to the front to pray and seek His forgiveness. Once again God has done His work, His Word dispels the darkness and unveils His life giving power. We rejoice just as everyone in heaven when one sinner repents! There is no greater satisfaction in life than to witness the Holy Spirit drawing people to Himself.

And Jesus said, “If I be lifted up I will draw all men to myself.”
