Peru - Day 1
Well we have arrived! After 15 hours of travel we landed in Lima, Peru. It was quite late when we got to bed which worked perfectly as Dean (the missionary) had planned for today to be a rest day for us. Dean's sister, Deborah, graciously allowed us to stay at her place and had a delicious peruvian meal prepared for us. We ate lunch with Pastor Gilbert & his wife at 3pm (as is the custom in Peru to having a larger lunch in the afternoon between 2p-5p then a smaller supper). Pastor Gilbert is the youth pastor at the church Dean attends, Emmanuel Iglesia Biblica. He later invited us to the church for a tour of where we would be ministering while in Lima. On the way we toured a little
of Lima... lots of people, markets, restaurant,
cafes in this city... so exciting!!
We've got lots more to do and see. We will be spending just under 3 weeks ministering to youth and children her in this beautiful country. There are lots of ministry opportunities to experience, many people to meet and some fun times to be had. For those who have been following us, thank you for all your support and prayers. And now more than ever, we ask that you pray for us.
Tomorrow will be visiting Manchay (known as the slums of the Lima region) to do children's ministry. Donations came flowing in before we left from Canada and tomorrow we will get to see what God had in mind when he blessed us with so many teddy bears, school supplies, clothing and many other things. We're pretty exciting. We will be updating this blog every day or two with pics and stories, so all our friends & families can see what God is doing in Peru.
