Church Anniversary at the Park and Baptism

This was, I believe, the 8th Anniversary of CC Lima and we all went to a Park outside of Lima to have an all day picnic event and baptism.

Lunch with Some Awesome Sisters

Yesterday during lunchtime myself and a few of the girls who are going to the Bible College( mostly at night since the American/"gringo" students have their classes in the morning). It was a beautiful day "Estaba una hermoso dia" and we took lunch together and got to share our testimonies and talk about the many things the Lord did to get us where we are now in our lives. It was just a real awesome time of fellowship and real fun. These girls are really creative we did all kinds of poses, as you can see. :)

Concierto

This past Sunday night was the Surf Camp Concert that ended the Week. The American students were not able to join the Surf Camp this year but we were able to at least attend the concert it was really well done. These guys are really good at what they do and they do it as unto the Lord and that's awesome. The surf camp is usually geared for evangelism and there actually were many who became saved this year. The group from CC San Diego came and it was awesome to see them because my family and i used to go to CC San Diego when we lived there so it was good to catch up with some of these awesome servants of the Lord. Sammy Sandino taught during the whole Camp and shared from the Word for the concert. It was a really awesome time :)

Earthqukes in a Neighboring Country

Yesterday morning Chile had an 8.8 earthquake yesterday morning about 3 am which caused there to be tsunami warnings all around the world from affecting South American countries including Peru to Japan and they are currently rescuing the quake victims in Chile and the death toll seems somewhat minimal but is climbing.

Women's Retreat: Retido para las Mujeres

This past weekend (19th-20th) we had a woman's retreat for the girl students here at the Bible College. It took a winding road and a few nauseated girls to get there but it was good. We had a total of three sessions together in which Ivy taught most of them out of the book of Ruth while I would help lead worship for the sessions. It was a real refreshing time for all of us girls being that we had all finished a block class and were in need of sitting at Jesus' feet for awhile. We really had that opportunity to take in the beauty of God's creation and spending time in fellowship with the Lord and one another. We walk around from town to town and go horseback riding to a local waterfall. It was definitely a refreshing time in the Lord.

Students Shown

This Sunday at the Calvary Chapel Lima Peru church for second service after the songs of worship. John Bonner presented all the American students who are attending the Bible college this semester. This is the view from the stage from my point of view I took the picture when they presented us. The rest of the students were lined up facing the same direction next to me most of them to my left hand side.

San Juan de Lurigancho: Saturday outreach

Saturday afternoons all the students at the Bible college go to their respective outreach ministry teams all around Lima there are about four different teams that go out during the weekend. The outreach that I am in about an hour bus ride away to a community at the foot of a hill or more like a mountain.
In the afternoons by the time we get there there is children's ministry for the kids up the mountain and the kids who live near the facility that Calvary Chapel San Juan de Lurigancho has been using which does not have running water or its own electrical source (at night the neighbors have been lending their electricity to the building). So there are two groups one that stays at the facility and one that goes up the hill. I went with the group up the hill.
There were a lot of kids there. We played soccer and different games with them and then sang worship, had the lesson, and then colored.
After children's ministry, in the evening there is a youth group service taught by Javier (aka Javicho, the guy teaching in the front of the picture.) It was a blessing being there. Pray that all the ministers there effectively show the love of God and are filled with the Spirit as they serve the Lord and those around.
