Peru: Day 4

Day 4 was very much the same as day 3, only in a much poorer village known as Chavin and, with probably twice the number of people seeking our help. We had so many come, in fact, we had to open up the eye glass clinic again the following morning just to serve everyone who registered with us! We were able to lead many people to Christ through the counseling tables and brought the day’s events to a wonderful close with another message from Pastor Tito. The warmth and friendship that these people show to each other, as well as to this group of outsiders coming into their homes, is truly amazing. Despite their less than ideal conditions, they open their homes and hearts to us without hesitation and it struck me that while we are trying to be of service to these people in the name of Christ, they too, are being of service to us with a humbleness that mirrors Christ beautifully and, it has truly been a joy to watch and be a part of!
