Anita and I are busy packing and getting ready to return to Peru in two days! Time has slipped away quickly the past couple of weeks and it seems no matter how prepared you think you are there are always last minute details to take care of. We are so anxious to get home and back into the work the Lord has called us to do. We will be out of communication for a week or two until we get our internet service up and running again. Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude to our great God for His manifest mercy in healing Anita of cancer this past year.  We thank each of you for your love and concern that you showed to us by your prayers, cards, phone calls and gifts.

Besides getting back into the normal ministry activities that we do, we are also planning on expanding our Bible Institute to include online classes. It will probably take a few years to get a complete curriculum available online but we are looking forward to the challenge. Anita is anxious to get back to teaching the women in Huanuco and also to start helping so many of the ladies learn to read and write. We also have four (maybe five) mission groups coming down this year and we are praying that each group will be encouraged in their walk with the Lord and will receive a long lasting burden and passion for missions. As the apostle John said in his 3rd epistle, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”, this is our prayer for each of you. Our next letter will be from Peru!

In HIM by HIS grace,
Sheridan and Anita Stanton
