A Mom´s perspective
Posted by Buddy | Filed under General
A narrative on a couple of days from my mom´s point of view. Hopefully it will give you a glimpse into our life. Sorry that it has been so long since you have heard from me. I have not really been traveling incognito – just traveling and resettling. A lot has happened since last Wednesday. [...]

Please pray that: 1. the dozens of people to whom we presented the Gospel this week will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. the thousands of Gospel tracts we passed out this week would not return void. 3. some new contacts: Segundino, Salomon, Jose Luis, and others would come to know Christ as Savior [...]

“Let’s get to work!” the team unanimously agreed. Our home church, Faith Baptist in Taylors, South Carolina, sent an excited and enthusiastic crew of 12 members, along with a very generous donation, to help us renovate our recently-rented church building.

Return to Peru!

We are so very thankful for your prayers. The Lord has protected us and watched over us in a special way during the last few months. We arrived in Lima, Peru late Wednesday evening, and had several meetings there on Thursday. This morning, we flew to Cusco, Peru for a wedding. Unfortunately our flight was [...]

We were using a short questionnaire very much like the one used in The Exchange. Our visiting time for the day was about up, and that was a good thing, [...]

Have you mistreated your diploma lately?
Posted by Buddy | Filed under General
I was just cleaning off the bookshelf and as I picked up my diploma, I noticed something unusual – it seemed to be moving. Upon further observation, I noticed that several million ants had decided to nest inside my diploma. Of course, my first reaction was disgust. I had worked extremely hard for that diploma. [...]
He WILL be glorified

The Fitzgeralds Church-Planting in Peru June and July have been amazing months! We started out the month of June helping our neighbors move again. We are praising the Lord for our neighbor’s son, Alain, to whom we have been witnessing for sometime, He made a profession of faith right there behind his home during the [...]
Stage 2-The doors of Hell don’t stand a chance
Posted by Buddy | Filed under General
June 2009 Challenging and intense would be two good words to describe the past two months. In our last letter, we mentioned the community involvement, the trips, and our work here with a small, struggling church in town. Since that time, we have seen a number of changes. Always having planned on a “stage two” [...]
