Peru 4th Update

For hours the children kept coming. In the end there were 52.

Day 4 - Our team served in the squatter village of Pamplona again today.  We were amazed at having 18 children yesterday for a VBS - type of program for the children.  Boy, were we even more surprised today when the children kept coming!  By the end of the day we had over 50 children in a room that was basically 10" by 10"!  I don't know how the team managed it but they provided a wonderful program for everyone.

     In the evening, we showed the Courageous film and then had a time of discussion and reflection.  Seeing a movie is an enjoyable experience for most of the residents in this very poor community of Lima and we were thrilled to provide such a strong family-oriented movie for them.  We trust this will encourage each of the parents to think about their own family values and priorities and seek to have a strong foundation in Christ Jesus to help them through some of the difficult times in their lives.  We were overflowing again and pushing the little church on the side of the hill to its capacity - praise God!

Inviting the villagers to come to see Courageous.

The team continues in good health and is looking forward to our last day of ministry in Pamplona.  Five team members leave Lima late tonight and travel over to Uruguay to meet that team for another week of ministry.  Please pray for both teams.
