A Friend, Brother, & Father in the Faith

Knox & Ginger Chamblin

One of the great privileges of my life was to study at Reformed Theological Seminary--Jackson under Dr. Knox Chamblin. I studied Pauline Epistles, Greek, and the Parables of Luke in Greek with him during my years of study. Knox and his lovely wife, Ginger, have come to Peru for the week to participate in our first ever Spiritual Life Conference for the mission team.

We have had a great time studying the Scriptures, reflecting on life and mission, and the cause of the Gospel in this world. Knox and Ginger have been great examples to me and my wife, and we hope that the Lord will find us faithful as the Chamblins have been faithful in serving Him throughout the years. They are such a great inspiration to "fight the good fight" and to finish well.

John & Heather get some quality time with the Chamblins

Knox is also teaching a module this week on the Parables of Matthew for our churches, seminarians, and other believers in the area. Last night, we had 50+ in attendance. Please pray for the endurance of the Chamblins, and for the fruitfulenss of their minsitry here.

John, Heather, & Alonzo Ramirez listening to Knox teach on doing what is necessary over what is urgent (cf. Luke 10:38-42)

Just wanted to say we miss you guys. I wonder, geographically speaking if we are equally as far from the equator. I was explaining the wholistic model you're pursuing to some young, bright eyed reformed folks the other day. I'm proud of you guys and look forward to your model catching on.
