As we talked, he let me share some exciting things about how mine and Lili\u2019s ministry has shifted over time on the mission field, and some of the amazing things God has been doing in the past few months. I think you\u2019ll be encouraged and inspired as you listen. Apparently Bryan first found me through the Fire On Your Head podcast and really enjoyed it. He says he loved hearing how God was using our ministry to bring people to know Christ and to advance the Kingdom. His words also reinforce for me why, besides just interviewing other authors, it\u2019s a good idea to share testimonies and stuff that\u2019s going on in our life and ministry here in Peru. Challenge, Revelation, and Current Ministry Like everybody, I\u2019ve had a number false starts and failures. These are the things that missionaries don\u2019t often share when they\u2019re visiting churches and seeking support. They don\u2019t always want to talk about the disciple who walked away from Christ or the ministry outreach that they had to shut down because it wasn\u2019t bearing fruit. In my journey, it took nearly five years for me get to where I THOUGHT I was headed when I started out \u2013 involved in a ministry school, teaching the Word and making disciples. I may not have articulated it or had the same vision coming here in 2009 as I do now looking forward, but along the way there have been a number of things that have changed and some false starts that I share in this interview. In fact, it\u2019s been just recently that we\u2019ve started to see significant fruit in Chorrillos, Peru as I\u2019ve been blogging about. Check out Engaging Missions if you\u2019d like to hear more discussions with the various missionaries Bryan has interviewed.
