God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

How did several copies of Sed de Dios (Desiring God in Spanish) wend their way into the remote mountains of Peru this fall? Jeff, ministering in Peru, had planned a pastor’s retreat for September. When he heard about Desiring God’s $5 book sale in June, he ordered several copies for the event. A short-term group brought the books from Florida to Peru for him.

Jeff presented each of the 17 pastors with a copy of Desiring God and they studied the book during the retreat. Some of the pastors came from villages high in the mountains and will bring the truths absorbed from the conference back to the people there. One pastor commented that he was “ruined” by the book, meaning that he didn’t have an excuse anymore not to be joyful in God.
