Touchdown In Peru!
Our team of 32 touched down in Peru late last night! We have 4 Berean Churches represented from Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska. Kelly Jessen met us at the airport after just returning from India with Mark Carlton and team; pray for Kelly's endurance this week. After a short night in a hotel in Lima, we boarded an eight hour bus ride this morning to Huancayo (read a little about this region of Peru @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huancayo). The elevation of Huancayo is above 10,000 ft, so you can imagine we had some elevation sickness along the way and when we arrived. Pray for the teams health and adjustment. This evening we gathered with representatives and leadership from six area churches that have a desire to plant cell-based churches in outlining areas where there is no local church presence. We sang, prayed, and got acquainted with one another and our translators. Tomorrow morning we break down into 6 different teams and worship together with the churches across Huancayo, as well as make preparations for door to door and street evangelism, discipleship, cell group training, and sports outreach. Here we go!
