The Goshorns Step by Step

October 2019

It’s past time to get caught up with you all.

Jennifer and Katherine returned from the states and
I’m sure glad to have them back. I was very blessed
with our Peruvian team that stepped up while they
were gone. While they were in the states, I spent a lot
of time in the Jungle managing the farms. I got to
know some of the neighbors, we talked about Christ
and I handed out Bibles and an audio Bible. I had a

Now the kids can only stay for 6 months. This makes donation, or you can join us monthly.

We humbly thank you for your continued prayers and

financial support. If you haven’t yet, we ask that you would
prayerfully consider financially supporting this ministry in
Peru. Without more financial partners this ministry can not
continue to grow. We love you all and thank you for being
part of God’s work in Peru.
 MARIO

Mario is one of our neighbors on the farm. He is 28 years old and is

crippled. When he was 6 years old a van backed over him and no one realized
he was trapped under it for over an hour. He hasn’t been able to walk, without
two sticks to carry him along, since. It is incredible to watch him move up and
down the mountains using only the strength in his arms and the sticks. Mario
doesn’t know who his real father is, but he has a step dad who is very good to
him and his mom is absolutely amazing. She is a Christian but, the step dad and
Mario are not. Mario lives across the road from our farm and his parents live
within shouting distance of him. He has latched onto me and is always around
when I’m there and goes with me when I need to pick up things. His mom said
he’s never had many friends and that I’m so kind to him. When I’m in
Huancayo, Mario and his mom make sure no one bothers things on the farm.
His mom has tried to get Mario to go to church with her but he never wanted
to. She said that since he learned that I’m a Christian and had spoken to him
about Christ, there must be something to it because I’m from the states:) I don’t
like being set apart, but the Lord uses whatever he wants to reach someone.
Mario has since asked for a Bible, attends church with his mom and sits with his
solar powered light and studies scripture. There is no type of phone coverage
within an 1 1/2 hours from the farm, but Mario will travel so he can call and
give me updates and ask when I’m returning. God is soooo good. I don’t do
anything, but He will work on people in our paths at all times.

I can’t thank everyone enough for making this possible. What a life I have
because of you.

Please consider joining us. Thank you.

“Today, I challenge you to pay it forward. You don't need to save a village—only one
lost soul. Be the reflection of Christ and shine His light. The cost is little, but the
reward is rich.”
― Dana Arcuri
