Sunday, Blessed Sunday

Latest News:

- Saturday was an incredible day - we walked around Lima, visited the Indian Market, and ate delicious Peruvian food at Mango's at Larco Mar overlooking the Pacific ocean. Everyone back home should try ceviche, which is fish "cooked" with citric acid. That's right, it looks and tastes like zesty sushi! A few of the team members were a little hesitant - as should be expected.

- We were blessed to find the two missing bags with our other luggage once we landed in Trujillo! Tuan and Krystin are relieved. Thanks for your prayers. Elias in Bob the Bus and a fleet of taxis were waiting for us in the airport parking lot to bring us to the hotel. We will be spending a good bit of quality time with Bob the Bus. He's a pleasant fellow.

- Tuan, Andrew, Zack, Alleen, and Pablo (the Peru Camp Director) met last night while the team prepared camp supplies. The opportunity to teach and nurture these churches in camping ministry is thrilling. There are of course many details and a new location that will require more time and planning, but casting the vision of sharing Christ in word and deed is what we hope to accomplish. Proverbs 29:18 tells us that “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Pray that we would not miss the purpose and life of camp - the faithfulness of God manifested in the serving of children for the sake of their salvation. Pray also that we would share that vision effectively: in word and by example.

- Once we settle into a schedule, we'll be able to post some pictures!

- This morning we have the pleasure of worshiping with Arevalo church. We'll meet many of our Peruvian brothers and sisters in Christ for the first time.

- Everyone on the team is doing great! We're adjusting to a different culture and adapting to different habits and customs. Pray that God would use this time to make us faithful to Him and not to our comforts.
