This is out at the court by my house.


When Triad was here, we did an outreach at Los Pollitos. There were about 80-100 kids that day. They painted faces, shared and did balloon animals.



We went to La Huacachina with Denise, Alan, Cassy and the group from Triad and from Boynton. This is from the top of the big dune by the oasis. It's a challenging climb!!


We went to Las Islas Ballestas with Denise, Alan, and Cassy. Here's Nala the Chola


In Canete. They had a lot of fun painting the kids' faces.


We went out in the park in front of my house and did some outreach to the neighborhood kids. We did the lollipop drama, painted faces, made balloon animals, sidewalk chalk, blew bubbles... it was a lot of fun. Mario, Elisabet, Martin, Carlos and some kids from the church all came out to help and have some fun.


Cassy has been here for 5 weeks. She's been such a blessing to us. She's leaving with her dad on Saturday.

Kilaine is our regular evangelist. She gets really excited to hand out tracts and invitations to the church. She helps us translate when the teams are here. It won't be long before she can start doing some of the dramas.


Here's the regular children's ministry. These are most of the kids I have every time. One is missing this day. We have the kids up to 7 years old. 9 and up sit in the adult Bible study.


Cassy painted a verse on the back of the church wall for us.


We were able to purchase a car about 5 weeks ago. Thank you to everyone who prayed with us about this and to many of you who donated towards it. It truly is a huge blessing living 4 hours from Lima. It's been a huge help. Thank you, Lord!!!


Cassy also painted the children's room. Steve, Robin and the kids helped out, too. It looks awesome!! It's so fun and clean and it looks so much bigger now. Good job, Cassy!


We went to see the Nasca lines with Steve and Cassy. It's about 2 hours to the south. We went up in a prop plane to see them.


Here's the astronaut. The lines are a mystery. There are a lot of drawings in the ground that have been there for a very long time, maybe more than 1000 years. There's drawings of a monkey, spider, whale, hummingbird, tree, hands, lots of lines and trapezoids. It's really amazing. One of the largest trapezoids is over 18 miles long! It makes me wonder why these ancient cultures did these drawings and how. Maybe they were worshipping the stars or something. It makes me very glad to have the Bible and to know the God of the universe. I want to worship the creator, not the creation.

Just found your blog, very nice!
I am thankful for the work you are doing in Peru & enjoyed your blogging, it really helps to put pictures in your mind for when you are praying. Had hoped to see some pictures & hear about the trip from July when the Boynton Beach, FL Calvary Team visited you (when they brought Cassy over).
I like to tell others of the work you are doing there as I meet many people from Peru here in Florida which helps me to build a bridge of friendship.
May God bless you in all you do & keep you safe.
your friend In-Christ,
