NC TEAM ARRIVES SAFELY BACK HOME

MANY THANKS

Thank you Rick and Sarah for all your faithful years of coming to Peru for short-term mission work. What a blessing it was to see you and the North Carolina team! We thank God for keeping you all safe as you returned home...we are already counting the days until you return again!

Thank you for all that your team did for our family and so many others in this area!

We LOVE you all very, very much!

The kids already miss you...
Autumn still wants to spend the night at your house when we are in NC to play with the girls!

After all those years of seeing Lucy growing up...and now you're holding her new baby girl, Abigail!

THE BIG JUMP AT LLACANORA FALLS

LLACANORA WATERFALLS
Rick ~ as Larry always says, "NEXT TIME" we will bring you here to play with us!

Hopefully, if you finally get to see the waterfalls next year, this can be a special treat for your 25 years of love and service that you have given to the people of Cajamarca!

Thank you Ben, Kay, Willis, Glenda, Ken, Dale, Rick, Sarah, Bill, and Buddy for EVERYTHING!
We are going to miss seeing our North Carolina friends until you return...we love you all!
~ River, Lake, Sailor, & Autumn

"Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
~Joshua 1:9b

Spending the Last Day Together with the NC Team

VISITING MATARA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING

"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."

~Hebrews 10:24-25

Matara Iglesia Bautista

Greeting the Members!

The children singing beautiful songs lifting up their voices to our Lord!

Shirley arrived with her incredible smile!

Calling each child by name to present them their new Bible, Certificate, and Cross and to thank them
for attending the 3 Day Bible School! 

They blessed our hearts in so many ways...what an honor and privilege to worship together in God's house!

VISTING THE ALDEA ORPHANAGE

"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."

~ James 1:27

Willis, Ben, and Bill bring lots of marbles each year...all the children in the orphanage LOVE to play and try to roll close to the prize...the oversized marble!

NC Team members brought many photos of the children taken in years past...the children love to see them and keep copies to hold on to showing their family with them from the States!

The orphans love visitors...lots of HUGS and KISSES!

Edwin wanted me to take his picture over and over and keep showing him what he looks like from the camera view!

Handful of Marbles!

Pray for each child in the Aldea Orphage...once the children turn 18 years old...they are sent out into the WORLD...with no family and very few personal belongings! We are so thankful for the support and love that Villa Milagro gives by opening up doors to tell them about JESUS CHRIST and the BECA (Scholarships) which helps them get more education or job training...and to help them
COPE with being all alone in the WORLD after leaving the orphanage!

The NC Team could not leave without serving some YUMMY ice-cream!

Smiles on their faces...as they came back for MANY refills...some wanting 6-7 cones of the delicious
vanilla ice-cream (helado)!

Bill posing for a picture with the BOYS!

They all look after one another...they become each others FAMILY...many times the older children taking care of the younger children!

Thank you to many from NC who made these beautiful pillow case dresses...Sarah and Kay picking out all the girls a special dress to keep!

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!

The boys received socks, candy, and toys!

LOVING AS JESUS LOVED
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
~John 8:32

ONE BODY WITH MANY PARTS

"All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it." 

~ 1 Corinthians 12:27

Coming together to pray for the upcoming construction of the New Church Annex of Monte Sion!

IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE NO EVANGELICAL CHURCHES

"Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” 

~ Matthew 9:35-38

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE!

JOY IS IN THE AIR

"This is the day the LORD has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it."

~Psalm 118:24

NC Team making our kids wooden trucks...they loved sanding them and watching the men work in the wood shop!
