Peru Update Thursday June 25

Thursdsay Morning Mind Dump

- The team took yesterday (Wednesday) off from construction and teaching seminars to participate in the Inti Raymi festival. It was an awesome experience; our team was able to witness a festival that has taken place in the exact spot and in the exact way for hundreds of years.

- Today we are kicking our construction projects in high gear. We are giving the orphanage a total makeover. We will be bringing back some before and after pics...you´ll never believe what this team was able to accomplish.

- It´s become a nightly routine to play soccer with the local puruvians; last night one of our students accidentally broke the nose of a puruvian during the game. The ironic thing is that it has served to connect us with the locals. God is opening up so many doors.

- The other night during our evening team meeting I sensed God wanted to do something in our midst. So, I spoke for a few minutes on being broken before God and then let Tim Wirtala start leading us in worship. Then, all of a sudden, the Spirit moved and people started praying for each other, intensely worshipping God, many were finding healing, most were crying, and all were changed. We were there for two hours as God moved....simply put, AMAZING!

- I can´t say enough about how much potential this team has; God is truly raising up some world changers from our midst.

- Tomorrow we will reach hundreds more through our teaching, first aid, and jail ministry seminars. Wait to you hear how our students are being used!

- Saturday and Sunday we are taking the orphans to a small town south of Cuzco named Pisaq. For many of the orphans it will be the first time out of Cuzco. We are going to spoil them by taking them to a luxury advance (you might call it a retreat center but we never retreat so we changed the name...grin) center where we´ll put on a two-day sports/craft camp for them.
