On to the Next Village!!!

Today we are leaving Cusco and heading to our next village, and THANK GOD it is only 4 hours away. Some of us are kind of attatched to the village near Cusco, but at the same time we ready to move on and see more. Please pray for some safety as we will be traveling his afternoon.

Yesterday we planned to go to a local school and do some skits and puppets, and that did not really go as planned. It seems when things do not go our way that is when God moves most. We took a random trip to a local convience store just to get some water and there was a boy, about 10 years old and knew a little bit of English. We started talking to him and eventually he brought his Bible outside and we started to read some stories with him. Meanwhile, another lady walks up and someone asks something like ¨What do you think you should do to be saved and go to heaven?¨ she reaplied ¨Good works.¨ as we talked more she had questons we answered and she accepted Christ. We could really tell she was real and was missing something. All through our conversation she never smiled, that was until she wanted to ask Jesus into her heart.

We have went to 4 or 5 schools over the past few days and it went really well. Yesterday we got to try some alpaca and it was good (tasted like steak). Monday we got see some Inca ruins, which was amazing. The long walks up some steeps hills made it all worth it.

So far about about 6 people have accepted Christ and a local pastor and a few summer missionaries are doing some follow up with them. I thank God that He has put some people in this area to do follow up with these people that give thier heart to Jesus. I was kind of wooried about what would happen after we left.

  1. All I can say is "WOW!" This is so phenomenal to hear how God is working. Your story of the convenience store reminds me of the year we were in New Orleans and God sent us to the wrong (which ended up the just where He wanted us)nursing home and the business manager accepted Christ. He definitely orchestrates our moves to get us to where He is at work! We love you and are continually praying for you. BTW: I can't believe you ate Alpaca. They are so soft and furry. Also, hypoallergenic!

    God bless,
    Mrs. Christy
