Bud Lenz & the Tribe in Peru

To all of my blog visitors,

I regularly receive updates from a co-laborer in the Harvest Fields. Bud & Laura Lenz and their children are faithfully impacting a community in the Peruvian highlands with an orphanage and school. I really enjoy hearing of his life lessons and opportunities on the MISSION FIELD. Kurt Zimmerman is his state-side communications link. If you would like to communicate with Bud (or the tribe), you may be able to connect thru Kurt's address. Please pray for this ministry, and open your heart as the Lord speaks to you about any opportunities to partner with this and other ministries.

Giga-Bendiciones & PAX,

The other day we were talking about faith in the men's group and how it should be constantly growing. I remembered back when the Lord led us to leave the golf course architecture business and live by faith, ministering on the streets of Houston. There were only 4 children at that point. Then when He called us to Peru... there were seven children at that point and a lot of people told us we were crazy. But here we are, nine plus years later, two more children born here - in the JUNGLE of all places! - and another 25 Peruvian children filling our home with a never ending stream of... what should we call it? Adventure? Excitement? ... Maybe we should just say that there is rarely, if ever, a dull moment. The variety of colds and flues and diarrheas give new meaning to the word "epidemic". I believe you have a term back there in the States: soccer mom??? Again, new meaning. Among whatever other ministerial duties there may be, there are ballet lessons and recitals and soccer practices and games and singing lessons and concerts... And all worth it. The smiles and hugs - and even the tears - make it all worth it.

Yes, faith should constantly be growing. God knows how much we can take and when we are able to believe for His provision - whether for 2 or for 200. He knows when we are able, when to open the windows of heaven, when to shut them for a while; when to flex our faith muscles and when to simply let His provision flow. And always supplying grace upon grace.

Thank you all for being a part of it by prayer and by your gracious giving. You have been more a part of the lives of so many children and other people than you can imagine. May God richly bless you all,

bud, for the tribe.
