team’s mercy outreach specialist. He facilitates the Peruvian Lutheran Mission’s mercy work at the Mighty Fortress Mercy Center,
where members of the emerging Peruvian Lutheran church body reach out
with the love of Christ to children and teens forced to live and work on
the streets of Lima. Both Anthony and Jamie help with the
church-planting ministry of the LCMS team in Peru, helping teach adult
and children’s Bible classes and participating in regular outreach and
worship events as needed. Anthony began serving in Peru in the fall of
2008, coordinating short-term mission teams and service projects, and
Jamie began serving in Peru in September of 2010 as the short-term team
coordinator. They were married on July 14, 2012.

Prayers
Anthony and Jamie write, “Please pray that as we reach out with the team to Peruvians with the Good News of the Gospel, we would ‘resolve to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified’ for the free forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor. 2:2). Please pray for the mercy work and church planting in Peru. May every single human care activity we’re involved with point people to Christ, whose death on the cross was the ultimate manifestation of God’s mercy for all of humankind.”This link will take you to the LCMS page for the DiLibertos, which has links to their blogs, newsletters, etc.
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor
