Chupa


Hola!!!!

We are in Puno right now hanging out with Lidman and his team (visiting Lake Titicaca!!!) ... We are a few days ahead of schedule... Everything has gone awesome so far... Hopefully someone else on our team will write about everything but I just wanted to tell everyone that all is going well!!!

I like to Macro Journal instead of writing every little detail so here it goes:

We got to chupa safely at about 8:00 AM... had to leave orurillo at like 1:30 AM That was crazy...

In chupa we were able to quickly get into the schools and start with our presentations... We went into three different schools there... Each presentation there were a bunch of kids that got saved... We presented in an 3 elementary schools and 1 high school...

I am feeling a lot more confident in sharing the gospel with large groups of kids... Wednesday I had the opportunity to lead a lot of children to the Lord... I asked them to repeat a prayer to recieve Christ and they all repeated it out loud...

We finished early in Chupa so we decided to travel with the Chupa village team to Lake Titicaca... It has been an awesome time of fellowship with each other... There are not words to describe this place...

The coolest thing that happened during this time was as we were traveling out of Chupa... Lidman, a Peruvian translator, presented the Gospel to everyone on our bus as we were traveling to Juliaca... It was amazing the boldness he displayed... That we know of, no one accepted, but the Gospel was presented... I was very encouraged by this!!!

Derek is posting some fotos on here so check them out... He has also added them to some previous posts, so you may need to scroll down to check them out...

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Tommy, the blogs are great. It is wonderful to hear that the people are accepting Christ. That is what it is all about. I know you will have some ups and downs as the summer progresses, but remember we are all praying for you and the team and we know that God is doing a great work in your efforts. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Love, Mary Sue and Philippe Nave
