A full day...







We experienced a full day of God’s working yesterday in Cabana and in the annex of Sondondo. We wish that you all could be here in person to see firsthand how God directed the day.

We went to Sondondo to meet with a lady named Zocima who had received Christ with the summer missionaries this past summer. She was in Lima but we met several people who were very open to talk with our team. The team met a lady who said that she was a believer and that she had some friends who are also believers. This lady is named Angelica. She lives in Lima but we are returning this morning in hopes of learning more about her and the other believers.






The picture of the guys in the back of the truck is a typical Peruvian travel experience. There are always folks needing a ride - and there is always room for one more. We had 6 people in the front of the truck. The guys were real troopers - they rode that way for about 30 minutes coming up the very rough mountain road.

The Enhancement Team spent about two hours teaching the Bible to two ladies while they are sat down in the road. These ladies were going to spend the night thinking about making a commitment to Christ. Please pray for them. We will return this morning to visit with them again.

Adam and Juvenol were walking through Cabana looking for opportunities to share the Gospel. They went to talk with a taxi driver who is not from here but was waiting in the plaza. Adam shared the Gospel with him and he received Christ.

Part of our team met with Wilder and Elva last night. We had a great discussion about their friendship with us and his desire to know God better. Please pray that Wilder continues searching and that God continues to work in their lives.

This is our last day in Cabana. Please pray that we finish well. This has been an incredible visit already and we again thank you for joining with us here in Cabana.

Sidenote: We found someone to clean the guinea pigs and another person to cook them. Looks like guinea pig is what’s for dinner!

How exciting! I love reading the stories and cannot wait to hear more when you get home.

Adam - too funny seeing you smooshed in the back like that. I'm going to get Mom to show Daddy. Enjoy your taste of guinea pig tonight. I'm glad its you doing it and not me. I successfully made spaghetti and got it to my desk at church today - unlike last time with it going all over the floor :)

Kevin - folks are working on Be The Church. The Kids on Mission project is pretty cool. Looking forward to sharing the details with you.

I am praying that this last day in Cabana helps strengthen the believers there. Thank you so much for letting us join you on this incredible journey!

Love, Allyson
