Hvca - Giving spirit from community

Hello dear friends,

Heres a little update on the construction of the new kingdom hall in Huancavelica (Hvca).
The construction has been going great and have had some beautiful willing brothers and sisters that have come to help. Just last week we had over 70 volunteers that had come to help, some have come as far away as 12 hours on bus.

The bible students have shown such an appreciative spirit about the construction that many have donated food products. One couple gave around 100 oranges, another a chicken, another 50kg of potatoes and the list goes on.
The whole town knows about the construction and are very happy about it. Huge praise to Jehovah's name.

Keep checking back for new adventures.

Hvca - Construction experience

Hello friends,

Just wanted to share a little experience from today in Hvca (Huancavelica, Peru)

At the moment we are building a new Kingdom Hall in Huancavelica, it is the first Kingdom Hall in all of the State. It's has been so amazing to see brothers and sisters travel from different parts of the country to help out. But more about the construction in another post.

So today Sarah was walking to the kitchen site to help with cooking lunch for the construction team and popped into a mini store to buy some groceries. Sarah and the store owner started a conversation, the lady asked what Sarah was doing in Hvca (Huancavelica) and so Sarah explained that she is here doing volunteer work as a Jehovah's Witness and that it just so happens that we are building a new Kingdom Hall in the area. The lady asked in Spanish, "Does that have something to do with the letters JW?" Sarah said, "Yes". The lady explained that her sister living in Italy had told her to look up the website JW telling her that it is a great website with heaps of information, including for the family. The lady had written down on a piece of paper the website as www.jw.com, Sarah corrected it to www.jw.org and encouraged her to look it up.
A little return visit was started.

Till next time friends

Back to the Jungle

Hello dear friends and family,

No we are not in the jungle, we are in a city called Huancavelica, we shall give some details about this beautiful city in future posts. In the next few posts we will be going back in time and relating a few experiences that we have seen and heard since being in Peru and serving where the need is greater, ones that we have not had the opportunity to mention in early posts, sorry if we accidentally repeat.

Hope you enjoy these catch up posts with with some little hints of what we are up to right now :)

Lets go back to La Banda de Shilcayo, Tarapoto, Peru around 2014.

Experience:
On day a publisher was preaching doing some return visits and found a nice older lady at a return visit but wasn't the same person as last time. The publisher did a simple presentation based on the Watchtower of the month and the lady listened and then mentioned she was going through a hard time with serious health problems, and was worried as she is a grandma that supports some of her older children and grandchildren as they are not doing well economically.
As conversation continued the lady insinuated that she wanted to study the bible quite a few times, and then she just outright asked to study the bible.
A bible study was started and she continued to make progress spiritually.
We just never know where the kingdom message will have fruit.

Keep posted for more short experiences,
Josh and Sarah Rado
