While there, I felt that God had something for us to do. We found a temple of the Incas that was erected to the god, Wiracocha. This is the <em>unknowable god<\/em> who created the sun the moon and the first two Incas. In this temple, there were sacrifices done in front of seven windows. Their legend says, \u201cWiracocha sent a messenger in form of a condor.\u201d This messenger said, \u201cWiracocha would send his son to tell them about himself.\u201d My heart longed to tell the people of this area that I knew the rest of the story\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We left the area and went to Puerto Maldonado where we would spend seven days teaching and empowering pastors and youth to thrust forth into the harvest fields of the Lord. God moved in such amazing ways and, upon or return to this city, in October, we saw God move uniting denominations under one banner, Jesus, and baptizing them in the fire of Holy Spirit, but that is another story. My heart continued to burn for the people around the \u201cRUINAS DE PUMA MARCA.\u201d I asked my family to return with me to this 12-family pueblo for four days. I said, \u201clet's see what God wants to do.\u201d God opened the door to share the gospel through the lens of their superstitions and their gods.<\/p>\n<p>I felt that I was living the story of Paul as he shared in the temple before the pillar to the unknown god. <strong>Alicia and her son received Christ with joy<\/strong> there at the foot of the ruins as I shared how God \u201cwiracocha\u201d sent His son to pay the blood ransom of Abel and how His blood speaks a better Word. I spoke about how the authority of the curse of \u201cPachaTierra\u201d has been broken and the earth has no hold on the adopted sons of God, and that no payment is necessary because Jesus paid our debt. Today, we are taken back by the authority of Christ in ancestral forgotten lands where the spirits and authorities have never been challenged.<\/p>\n<p>As I write this, we have two of our students from The Awakening who have gone to stay with Alicia for a few weeks to baptize and disciple her. Pray with us as we advance the Kingdom of God and take authority in areas never before challenged.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Story-Week-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4575 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Story-Week-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Hodges standing with Alicia\" width=\"443\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alicia\u2019s Story Begins During the month of August, we took a short rest with a missionary family and went to some ruins in an obscure native area of Cusco in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":4574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[456,458,204,457,459],"class_list":{"0":"post-4573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-456","9":"tag-hodges","10":"tag-january","11":"tag-shared-stories","12":"tag-the-hodges","13":"entry"},"title_es":"Pasando ahora con Jennifer Moore","content_es":"<div id=\"pl-3477\" class=\"panel-layout\"><div id=\"pg-3477-0\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style ingpb-standard-row\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-ratio-direction=\"right\"><div id=\"pgc-3477-0-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\"><div id=\"panel-3477-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\"><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"><div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\"><p style=\"text-align: center\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/Moore-e1577806599245.png\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-3479 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/Moore-e1577806599245-270x270.png\" alt=\"Un disparo en la cabeza de Jennifer Moore\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a> <\/p><p> Jennifer Moore ha estado en el Ministerio de Misiones Mundiales desde 2011. Recientemente tuvo la oportunidad de trabajar con Centraal Caf\u00e9 en Amberes, B\u00e9lgica, junto con los misioneros de carrera, Bill y Gretchen Schwartz, durante dos meses y medio. Aqu\u00ed es donde se cultiv\u00f3 su pasi\u00f3n por participar en Coffee House Ministries. Aqu\u00ed hay una instant\u00e1nea de su reciente viaje y donde cree que Dios la est\u00e1 guiando a continuaci\u00f3n. <\/p><p> <strong>Para dar a Jennifer, vaya a <a href=\"https:\/\/give.iphc.org\/missionary\/jennifer-moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give.iphc.org\/moore-jennifer<\/a><\/strong> <\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"> <em>&quot;Si les das de comer, vendr\u00e1n&quot;. He o\u00eddo a mi madre decir esta declaraci\u00f3n de parodia muchas veces a lo largo de mi vida. Siempre me re\u00eda cuando lo dec\u00eda, pero una y otra vez, lo he visto suceder.<\/em> <\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"> <em>Muchas veces a lo largo de las Escrituras vemos a Jes\u00fas comiendo con sus disc\u00edpulos, con pecadores e incluso con fariseos. Cada vez que come con alguien, tambi\u00e9n les ense\u00f1a. Cuando Jes\u00fas se encontr\u00f3 con Zaqueo, le dijo que deb\u00eda ser un invitado de Zaqueo. En esa cultura, esto significaba que estar\u00edan comiendo juntos. Debido a que Jes\u00fas se acerc\u00f3 a Zaqueo y desarroll\u00f3 una relaci\u00f3n con \u00e9l, el coraz\u00f3n de Zaqueo se abri\u00f3 a la verdad. Esto me recuerda otro principio que aprend\u00ed de mi madre: cuando se satisface el hambre f\u00edsica, la gente est\u00e1 dispuesta a permitirte satisfacer tu hambre espiritual tambi\u00e9n. Fue parcialmente con esto en mente que comenz\u00f3 mi deseo de ser parte de Coffee House Ministries.<\/em> <\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"> <em>Este verano, tuve la oportunidad de unirme al equipo en Amberes, B\u00e9lgica. Fui a ayudar en la apertura de Centraal Cafe y encontr\u00e9 la oportunidad de usar uno de los regalos que Dios me dio, la capacidad de hornear. No sonar mi propia bocina, pero soy bastante bueno en eso. Una de las ventajas de tener un panadero &quot;interno&quot; es la capacidad de mantener precios muy asequibles para deliciosos productos horneados.<\/em> <\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"> <em>A pesar de estar all\u00ed solo por poco tiempo, pude conocer a algunas personas incre\u00edbles. Muchas personas de Christian Community, la plantaci\u00f3n de iglesias en Amberes, vinieron a nuestras noches abiertas, pero tambi\u00e9n tuvimos a varias personas entrando por curiosidad. Fue en una de las noches de cafeter\u00eda que pude hablar m\u00e1s a fondo con una de las damas que acababa de comenzar a venir a la iglesia. Se mud\u00f3 a Amberes desde Francia para trabajar y ten\u00eda muy poca formaci\u00f3n espiritual, pero estaba buscando m\u00e1s sentido en su vida. Ella es solo un ejemplo de las muchas personas que buscan desesperadamente la luz y el amor de Cristo. Que yo sepa, ella todav\u00eda asiste a Christian Community.<\/em> <\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"> <em>El caf\u00e9 tiene una ubicaci\u00f3n incre\u00edble. Est\u00e1 justo a lo largo del r\u00edo, justo al lado de una v\u00eda principal, y est\u00e1 rodeado de edificios de oficinas. \u00bfQui\u00e9n no querr\u00eda tomar un caf\u00e9 en una cafeter\u00eda local y acogedora? Realmente creo que cuando le ofreces algo de comer a alguien, se abrir\u00e1 la puerta para construir relaciones, y este es un paso clave para alcanzarlo con el Evangelio.<\/em> <em>Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer sobre esta incre\u00edble oportunidad que Dios ha puesto frente a m\u00ed. Estoy ansioso por regresar lo antes posible para compartir no solo golosinas sabrosas, sino tambi\u00e9n para compartir el trato eterno que es nuestra salvaci\u00f3n en Jesucristo. \u00danase a m\u00ed para orar por la gente de B\u00e9lgica para que tenga corazones abiertos para recibir el amor de Jes\u00fas. \u00bfSe asociar\u00e1 conmigo y ser\u00e1 parte de esta gran historia que se desarrolla en Amberes, B\u00e9lgica?<\/em> <\/p><p> <strong>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre esta gran oportunidad, comun\u00edquese con Jennifer directamente a <a href=\"mailto:jmoore.wmm@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jmoore.wmm@gmail.com<\/a> o al 1-336-684-3522.<\/strong> <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3477-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","author_name":"The Hodges","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Stories-from-the-Field.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1bL","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
