On March 21st we officially launched Omega Baptist Church in Arequipa, Peru.  We had been meeting for a couple of months and promoting March 21st as our launch date.  God truly blessed by allowing us to have 166 people in attendance.  Now a few weeks after we are still averaging over 100 on Sunday mornings.  We may need to go to two service soon or find a larger room to meet in.  We are so thankful to God for blessing that day and for continuing to bless this ministry.  Our goal is to evangelize the lost and to train the saved for service.
Omega will be organized (constitution, membership agreement, etc.) on April 18th.  My father, Austin Gardner, will be here with several members of his church for that.  It is amazing to see how God has brought everything together for this church.  God has called people out of the world and saved them and put them in Omega.  God has allowed us to have the same anniversary as my home church (Vision Baptist Church).  God has given us a fantastic building (to rent).  God has given us a great staff of men and women to work with who all have the same heart and mind of loving God and reaching people.
I thank God for Omega.  I beg you to please pray with me that God will continue to bless this ministry and allow us to reach the lost.
