Though the church in Nueva Esperanza, where HeartCry missionary Ivan Tassara is pastoring, is just over two years old, the Lord has done a special work of salvation in bringing many people to Himself, and also granting a unique measure of grace in the maturity and life of the congregation. By God’s grace, a group of men in Ivan’s church have been raised up with a desire to diligently search and faithfully teach the Scriptures. Ivan is now discipling several of the men in the church as they meet once a week to study systematically though the doctrines of the Scriptures.

In addition to the training courses that Ivan is carrying out with the men in the local church, he is also one of the main teachers for the Bible Institute in the North for around 55 pastors from the mountain regions of Pacaipampa and Morropon.

In order to help with the teaching in both of these settings, HeartCry has provided Ivan with a projector. Please pray that the Lord would prosper Ivan’s efforts and raise up many faithful men for the work of the ministry, for the strengthening of the believers and for the glory and reputation of Christ in Peru.
