Month: November 2018

Internet has been spotty at the hotel (only in the lobby) and the day went long on Friday. Today will be a travel day – a very LONG travel day – with most people returning home sometime tomorrow! A few of the team are staying to do some touring, so the group splits today. What a blessing it has been to work together this week.

We are constantly awed by the love the Peruvians demonstrate toward their family with disabilities! This is especially apparent as we meet some of the parents who are caring for their children.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It takes a team to adapt the chair to fit the individual. Therapists, mechanics, support, and translators all work together to find the best seating for each individual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day ended with another celebration.  Thank you for all your prayers. God has been at work in Peru this week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We began the outreach at the second church today. The people who were sick were all able to join us. We look okay, I think:

Just a few highlights.

The church volunteers had a great time with the people waiting to be seen.

The mechanics managed to make all the necessary adjustments to chairs, even though their space was spread out in three different parts of the facility.

 

 

We especially enjoy seeing the joy on the faces of the children who are receiving the gift of mobility.

When that also results in a soul being saved, it is especially rewarding.  Many people made decisions for Jesus during today’s outreach. Praise God through whom all blessings flow!

The team got an early start this morning, meeting to get on the bus at 6:30. We drove to Paracus, on the coast, for a boat tour. The tour was to some of the small islands where “guano” is harvested. Guano is bird droppings that are collected and used for fertilizer. The islands are home to numerous forms of wildlife – especially birds! We saw pelicans, cormorants, turkey vultures, sea gulls, and penguins!

 

 

 

 

The birds are so thick, they look like sand or rocks from a distance.

 

 

 

 

 

There are also sea lions living on the islands.

 

 

 

One of the rock formations looks like Christ is looking down at the water:

 

 

 

 

The scenery in the port and seen from the boat was spectacular, including the hieroglyphics in the sand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After sightseeing and lunch, we headed over to the church to set up for the next two days. Some of the team members are feeling sick, so we were not able to be there. Pray that they will all be feeling better tomorrow. After working for about three hours, things were shaping up.

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to see what God will accomplish through us tomorrow!
