The Goshorns Step by Step
We miss having Daniel and Matthew very much
here in Peru, but you can’t imagine how proud we
are of them. Matthew has a job and will start college
in January. His boss told us he is a great addition to
the staff and a wonderful representative of Christ.
Daniel is also working while keeping up with his
studies and his boss is also very pleased with his
work. To top it off we now have a daughter-in-law
who is also a very strong Christian. The wedding of
Daniel and Audrey was beautiful and honored the
sanctity of marriage that God has blessed us with. It’s
going to be awesome to see how the Lord uses them
in His Kingdom.
While in the States we were able to visit with some
churches and individuals to share about Peru. We
also hosted two dinners and at one of them there
were thirteen different churches and five different
denominations represented. How awesome is that?
People were excited to hear how God is using their
support in Peru. It’s such a privilege to be working
with all of them in Gods Kingdom. We had several
churches express an interest in sending teams to
Peru in 2016. This is a great way to open doors to
share the Gospel.

We humbly thank you for your continued
prayers and financial support. If you haven’t
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 God’s
work in Peru.
The
We are now ready to get back home to Peru. The
feeding program has continued while we’ve been
gone with the help of our Peru team as well as the
prison ministry. The Kids Club stopped while we
were away so we’ll start that up again once we re-
turn. Needless to say we’re excited.
We are in need of more funds to help keep these
ministries going and others that will be starting this
spring. For example, the discipleship group in
Lampa will start in the spring and books and Bibles
are needed. Also, funds are needed to help in
transitioning kids out of the orphanage and
women’s prison. Please consider serving with us in
Peru through your prayers, financial support and
short term missions.

BLESSED
The journey that we call life is so amazing. You see things when you look back that you never saw at the moment.
We’ve been so BLESSED and we don’t even see it most of the time. God has guided Jennifer’s and my life from the
beginning; I mean what are the odds that I would be so BLESSED that we would both win trips through the same
company and meet in the Bahamas when she lived in New York and I in Kentucky. We’ve had some hard times, but we
were BLESSED that the Lord guided our eyes upon Him and showed us what was really important. We were BLESSED
with three children that have grown to be great ambassadors of God. The greatest BLESSING of all was learning that
the Lord would use me no matter how much I tried to live for earthly things. It is such a BLESSING to have the peace
and comfort of the Holy Spirit living in me. When we decided that we would follow Gods calling there were constant
obstacles to overcome, and still are. For example, when we were getting close to leaving for Costa Rica to attend
language school I was told that I had cancer. When I said the word cancer and then said the name Jesus, I knew it
would be OK. After having surgery the doctor said it went well and that I should start Chemo, I told him no and the Lord
has BLESSED me with good test results since. While in Language school I spent five weeks in a hospital in Costa Rica for
multiple hernias and several severe infections. The doctors came in my room and said they were worried because they
couldn’t find out what the infections were. I was BLESSED to have the comfort of the Lord and I told them not to worry,
they would figure it out, and they did. We are BLESSED to have a mission agency that truly cares and sent someone to
Costa Rica to stay with us and love on us during that time.
Now as we sit in the airport heading back to Peru after being BLESSED with the wedding of Daniel and Audrey who is
also great ambassador of God, I realized that we're so BLESSED to have the privilege to be part of the Body of Christ. I
mean what a privilege to be put in the position to see the Body of Christ at work. While in Costa Rica we attended a
church and after the service an elderly lady asked if we were missionaries and we said yes. She then told us about some
missionaries that she met when she was a little girl and how they changed her life for eternity. When she was leaving
she said “I want you to know that at seven o’clock every morning, this little old lady will be praying for you” and I’ve no
doubt that she does. That’s truly the Body of Christ at work. We can’t express how BLESSED we are to have so many
people supporting us. We had a dinner this month to share about Peru and we had people representing thirteen
different churches and five different denominations show up. We’re so BLESSED never to have worried where we
would sleep, if we would have a car to drive or having enough people volunteer to help with trips to and from
the airport while we’re in the states. How powerful the Body of Christ is when it works together. We’re
BLESSED now with a Peruvian team wanting to serve the Lord. We love each and everyone of you and thank
you so much for all the BLESSINGS.
Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

God has been very clear that we cannot do anything alone. First we
need Him, second we need the Body of Christ. We will never be
effective ministers of God’s word without your prayers and financial
support. Please consider partnering with us to further God’s Kingdom
