Preaching and Outreach in Peru

Yesterday, May 15th, 2011, we ministered the Word of God in three separate services in Surco-Lima and Tablada de Lurin, a squatter community in the sandhills surrounding Lima.

This morning we are leaving for Barranca, about two hundred miles north of Lima. We will have to go over high ridge mountains on bordering the Pacific Ocean and a long stretch of real desert.

Besides delivering a Theology of Work Level II training program in CHAKAM`s sub-campus in Barranca, we will be assessing and evaluating a large social housing project in Puente Bolivar – a project which was spearheaded by Jubilation Program in Prince Albert. Over the last four years, Jubilation has renovated and replaced about 40 housing slums for single moms and the elderly. Within that same community CHAKAM also built a brandnew church for about 150 people.

While in the North, Jess Camalari and myself will be visiting an active historical excavation site called Caral. This site has a number of pyramides and pre-Inca communities that are currently being discovered spoon by spoon. This site, if properly protected and restored, will, most likely, be even more famous than Machi Puchi, Peru. However, it will take many years to accomplish this.

We are looking forward spending time in the interesting markets and shops in Barranca.

Just for a little side-note, Jess had his first taste of guinea pig, a delicacy in this part of the world.

More within a few days. The weather is continuing to be a real blessing. Hope we will have the same when we return to Canada.
