In Cabana

We arrived in Cabana today around 11AM. This has been the smoothest trip that we have experienced. Your prayers have made a huge difference. Thank you.

We have already had the opportunity to talk with some of our Peruvian friends. Please pray that God continues to open their hearts to the Gospel. The task is overwhelming but we are reminded that this is God’s story and He is allowing us to join His work.

Please pray for Wilder, Jackie and Irene. We are going to continue sharing the truth with them and are praying for them to have understanding of the differences between their belief system and the Bible.

Everyone on the team is doing wonderful. Angie lost her pillow (which is her security blanket) but it was found tonight in Puquio so we can pick it up on the return trip. Adam has an incredible servant’s heart – he is always helping everyone else. Bobby continues to encourage us all with his Christ-like attitude and his incredible energy level.

Thanks for your prayers and for joining with us on this journey!

A Smooth Drive into Puquio

We had a long but great day yesterday as we travelled from Lima to Puquio. We had everything loaded into the rental truck and ready to leave just a few minutes after 9PM.

We stopped to eat around 2PM and enjoyed the MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) that David Jacola had secured for us. Thanks, David, for lunch! When a person is hungry – the food is really pretty good.

We arrived in Puquio late last night to find out that our usual hostel had no rooms available. Not to worry… there was another one around the corner that had rooms. It is not as nice as the other (nice in hostel terms) but they did have beds inside of rooms that gave a person a chance to sleep.

Today we will finish the trip to Cabana. We are excited to see our friends and we are eager to see the progress with the new believers. We will have the privilege of working alongside some missionaries from the International Mission Board (2 year missionaries) who have spent part of the last month in Cabana.

Here are some pictures from our lunch stop yesterday.

Here in Lima...

In all of our previous trips we have never experienced a day that went as smooth as this day. We experienced small lines, pleasant people and no problems. God gave us some opportunities to share of His great love throughout the day. We walked up to the ticket counter in Orlando and the lady read our tag and introduced herself as a believer before helping us get everything ready for the flight. That set the tone for the day.

We arrived at our hotel tonight at least an hour earlier than we have ever been here before. We are getting ready to rest for the night and then begin the drive in the morning.

Thanks for your prayers and comments. I will share those with the team on a daily basis.
