The Goshorns Step by Step

March 2017

Were sitting in a hotel in Lima right now. We

had a hard time getting here because the road was
The
continuously being closed due to heavy rain causing
mudslides. Therefore we drove a back route through
the mountains that was absolutely beautiful. A lot of
you know about Zumilinda. Shes a six year old girl
that lives 6 1/2 hours deeper in the mountains from
us. She has some serious medical issues and we are
having tests performed. More about her on the
second page. After we finish up with tests for
Zumilinda well be heading to the states. Im very
excited to be able to see our boys:) Its been around 8
months since Ive seen Matthew and close to a year
and a half since Ive seen Daniel and Audrey.

We continue with movie nights at the
orphanage. This is a big night for the kids. I also
had 31 at the orphanage last week for the Bible
study. I cant get over how much the kids
Participate during this time.
Jennifer has put together a new team for
the Bible study at the women's Prison. These are
women we have known for some time now and it
is working out really well. The women's Bible
study has grown from 14 to 20 in just a couple
weeks. I suspect it will continue to grow.
Jennifer and I also had another
opportunity to speak with several more college
classes. A few of the students expressed an
interest in helping in the programs

We humbly thank you for your continued

prayers and financial support. If you havent
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 Gods
work in Peru.
Page 2 NONTHING IS TO BIG FOR THE LORD

This is Zumilina. Shes a 6 year old sweetheart that lives 6 1/2 hours deeper in the mountains from
us. We made contact with her, her sister and mom through a doctor who travels to more remote areas
seeing patients. They ended up at our house so we could find out if there was anything we could do to
help. While at our house we found out the mom and older sister believe in Christ. The older sister, age 20
with 2 babies, has many questions and said she didnt have a Bible. So she received her first Bible. When
we found out the mom couldnt read or write , we gave her a solar powered audio Bible which she listens
to every night. To be honest, I thought that giving them the word of God and learning more was the only
reason that we came in contact with this family. When I looked at Zumilinda and I knew that this was too
big of a problem. But after spending
time with her and praying about what
to do, I realized that it is to big for us,
but nothings to big for the Lord.
Jennifer also truly believed that people
would step up and help this precious
child of God and she was right. Weve
had her in Lima for a battery of tests
with more to come after we return
from the states. The doctors are
worried that incest is one of the problems. She also has rickets, which is a vitamin deficiency. She will be 7
in May and weighs only 23 pounds. This has weakened her bones, heart and lungs. We also found out the
dad has had affairs and past on a STD to mom. Were not sure if this has affected Zumilinda. With all the
test and needle pricks going on, Ive yet to hear her complain. She smiles all the time, plays and calls me
uncle:) They say there are treatments for this, but were not sure if thats the case in Peru. To top this off,
we found out that she has a 12 year old brother and he lives in the shan-
ty towns on the mountain side of Lima. Were pretty sure the father sold
him. We drove 2 hours to find him and when he saw his mom, he ran and
hug her neck for a long time. Were going to look into to this situation a
lot more. Also, there is a sister a little older than Zumilinda living with
another relative in Lima. When we asked the mom if it was OK with her
husband to travel to Lima with us, she said he could care less. They are
experiencing the love of God at the moment. They know that there are
people that have helped make some of this possible. Please pray
continuously for all of them and guidance for us and the doctors.
