PERU

Peru- Update 5: Very busy day.  Held more medical and dental clinics. Visited a nursing home sharing gifts made by church members in the sewing ministry. Craig and Rob, with Tito, led the men's ministry.  VBS still going strong.


PERU Update #4


Today we stayed at the church in Villa el Salvador.  Held another series of medical clinics tending to over 70 individuals.  Started the sewing ministry making eye glass cases. The word started to get out that those who have received glasses can come back to the church and get a case.  VBS started with a bang. Last night for movie time the children watched Magascar and adults watched October Baby.


PERU Update #3

Another great day on the mission field. We ministered to 117 individuals through the medical,  dental and vision clinics. We learned so much from yesterday and were able to be much more efficient today.  Such a blessing to witness the team in action and seeing God's work being done. Smiling faces as people read the bible after receiving their glasses.









PERU Update #2


First day of medical clinics.  Expecting 30-50 individuals and saw over 130. Expressions of joy upon receiving eyeglasses were priceless! Fluoride treatments and medical exams filled the day. The children kept busy coloring and doing activities.

PERU Updates

After a delayed departure on our connecting flight and running on minimal sleep, the team has completed their 1st day.  We went to Brisas where we joined with FBC Villa el Salvador members and held a children's celebration. Activities included using puppets to tell a bible story, balloon animals, face painting, making salvation bracelets, coloring and playing a game with beach balls the same colors as the salvation bracelets. Thirty children came out to join in the celebration.
