Thank you all for the great comments. We are blessed to receive them.
Yesterday was an awesome end to our children's outreaches. We went to 4 medium to small villages. We split into 4 teams to do this. We repeated the children's program from our first 2 outreaches. We were able to pass out many bags of hats, scarves, jackets, and sweaters that we bought with us.
The village I went to, Nueva Eperanza, was about 2 hours and 3,000 ft up from Andahuaylas. We had over 150 kids come out from a village of 1000. We were greeted by people from the town crying that they had prayed a group would come to their village. We filled a very small church. We were blessed with and excited group of kids and adults. Many dozen made commitments to Christ. After the outreach we were invited to dinner and asked to stay for many days to continue to preach. We had to turn down that offer. However, we were asked to pray over a dieing man, Victor. Also, a lady, Phyllis, with a brain tumor. The kids gave us a tour of their town, school.
Today we visited a high mountain lake and the ruins at Sondar. These were built by locals rebelling against the Incas. The were last inhabited in 700 AD. The were set in a beautiful hill deep in the Andes.
We are on a small break now. Tonight is our last in Andahuaylas. Tomorrow we take a 24 hour bus ride back to Lima.
Prayer needs...
Final night with our local hosts. Tonight is Communion.
Safe travel back to Lima
