Beautiful fruit

Pastor Rolando, one of our COJ and ROL [Raven of Love] pastors, serves at a small church that is located by the Amazon River in Iquitos, Peru. Besides pastoring the church, he also has a passion for missions. In his recent letter to his sponsor, he shared a testimony of a young lady that brought joy to our hearts. Her name is Ruth Esther, and she is a graduate of the COJ program. When she was 11 years old, her dream was to become a nurse to help those who are sick. However, God had a different but better plan for her. After she graduated from high school, she began seeking His will, and God stirred her heart to be a missionary.

For a long time, Ruth has been praying fervently for the opportunity to receive mission training. As she prayed with faith, God honored and answered her prayer at last. Last month Ruth was invited by the “Associations of Native Evangelical Missions of the Peruvian Amazon” to participate in the transcultural missionary training. Like her pastor, Ruth has a strong call to missions, and God has been preparing her to be a missionary all these years through her spiritual sphere of influence.

It is our vision and prayer that there will be many more COJ children like Ruth who become missionaries and go to the nations to share the Gospel! And we like to offer our sincere thanks to our faithful and loving sponsors for your continual partnership in raising up many “Children of Jesus!”
