Christian Cattlemen go to Peru
July 7th, 2009 by Peggy in Ministry, PrayerWhat do cows, embryo transfer, artificial insemination, nutrition and church planting have to do with each other? Not sure I know but we are about to find out!
I would deeply appreciate your prayers in behalf of Glenn Crumpler and myself as we embark on a very interesting journey July 9-17 in Lima, Peru. Students from around the country and Peruvian experts in cattle development will meet with our team of cattle technicians for five days of classes and learn how to increase cattle production in poor areas of Peru.
Glenn, who has served as President of Cattle for Christ since its inception eight years ago, has dreamed of a time when cattlemen could be used to help fulfill the Great Commission. Through the years Glenn has used the foundation to help plant churches around the world, provide pastoral and children conferences and assist numerous children feeding programs in various countries.
Glenn has received donations of embryos to be shipped to Peru, and now the goal is to help introduce students and people in the cattle industry to effective embryo transfer and teach artificial insemination as a means of increasing cattle production.
I will be leading devotions and evening services, introducing Jesus Christ to all participants and hopefully see the Holy Spirit inspire them to follow Christ. We will also have Wilkinson Grandez with us, a church planter with over thirty years of experience who will help us follow up on possible opportunities to help plant churches from the areas where students live.
Pray for a spiritual outpouring upon all of us and for God to develop a Spirit of unity among all the participants. Pray for increased cattle production of meat and milk as the foundation seeks to reach out to subsistence farmers as well.
Thanks so much for “standing in the gap” for us, without you and your prayers we won’t go far, but I thank God in behalf of you and your walk with Him. He is good all the time! All the time He is good!
