After 3 days of traveling, we finally made it into Huancapi. We´ve had numerous troubles with the trucks, but God is faithful and we still arrived here safely on sunday night. Last night the people came out to see the ´gringos´ and why we were here. Some thought we were spies from Chile, but after we talked to them, they realized we are here to help. This morning we broke off into separate groups. We took 2 trucks to Umaro this morning. 6 will stay in Umaro to spend time with the people, build relationships and prayer walk the village. There are 5 that are currently hiking to Bella Vista from Umaro and then to Pariamarca. There they will gather information regarding how many believers are there, what churches are present, etc. in order to relay to the summer missionaries so they are better prepared to minister to those people. Be in prayer for the hikers that they have the strength and perseverence to get there and back.

 

The rest of the group is staying here in Huancapi. We are doing ministry in the schools and in the clinics in order to build relationships with the leaders of the community. Be in prayer that the people are receptive and that we find the ´person of peace´ in order to continue what we´ve started. Tonight we (the Huancapi team) are having a service at the local Evangelical church. Hopefully we can get some new people to come.

 

That is all for now. Please lift the group up in prayer as often as possible. The Lord is working here, and it is amazing to see it happen. I will update this as often as possible, but it is hard to have time to do it because the internet here is so limited. God bless.
