PERU MISSONS TRIP

Tuesday and Wednesday LTI Catchup (written by Mikaela)

Hello everyone! These past few days have been extremely packed! On Tuesday morning, we visited a school in Ventanilla. We went from classroom to classroom doing a salvation message. The drumline and the flash paper were very popular with the kids! Rover was a big hit once again, except with the young one’s. We also did the salvation lesson with special needs kids; they were very excited. Many of the kids raised their hands to receive salvation; that was the best part of the morning! We had another service in the afternoon. We were expecting it to be a children service but we had many parents as well. We were planning on doing our salvation message, but the Holy Spirit changed some things. We flowed great as a team. We started in worship and a lot of ministry took place. We felt the Holy Spirit move on us to lay hands on people for physical or emaotional healing. The altar was full of people hungry for God. I believe physical healing took place. There was a lady with an issue of blood at the altar. Bethany and our translator prayed over her and were fully convinced that she was healed. Praise God for what He is doing! The rest of the evening we rested while Dr. D and Pastor Marilyn spoke at a church.

Wednesday was an early morning! We visited another school and ministered to the children. I’m sure Dr. D reported to you about that. It went pretty good. In the afternoon, we painted, and we painted some more. We were working on Pastor Guillermo’s church. We started painting the walls, and then we painted each other. After we got a lot of work done (don’t worry, we didn’t play around the whole time), one of the students decided to paint my face, and it began. I must say that I have never experienced a more intense paint war in my life! It started out with little splatters, and then before we knew it, we were dripping with paint. I got a handful in my mouth; I’m sure we all swallowed some. Marco got in on the fun! It was amazing! The cleanup afterwards was so worth it! We definitely made some memories. A missionary let us rest at her apartment after we painted. We played cards, sang with the guitar, and took very long showers. We had a very fun day.

Thank you again for your prayers! We love our church!
