"Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion."
~Psalm 51:1a

| Arkansas Team shopping for food at the markets! |
 |
| Putting extra funds from each team member together to help buy much needed food for families! |
 |
"For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me."
~Matthew 25:35-36 |
 |
| Celso helping to watch and gather all the food! |
 |
| Lots of fun visiting the city of Cajamarca ~ seeing many of the locals and shops! |
 |
| Stopping by the Meat Market...this was not a view many were excited to see! |
 |
Separating and dividing bags full of food back on the Farm in preparation for delivery to
10 different families who are in great need! |
 |
Checking the list and dividing the teams for delivery!
|
 |
| Last minute check before we pray and then head out to make our special deliveries! |
 |
| Celso, pastor of this church, is showing off his new church sign! He was able to provide food for five needy families in this area up in the mountains. |
 |
| Inside the church...Celso continues to show God's love to his church family! |
 |
| Children so excited to have guests...as they received lots of love and toys from the Arkansas Team! |
 |
| Inside their home...kitchen and bedroom in one small room! |

CARING FOR THE POOR
"Unseal my lips, O Lord,
that my mouth may praise you."
~Psalm 51:15 |
 |
| Living on dirt floors...trying to find enough food to make it another day! |
 |
| All this for me! |
 |
View from inside...
Thank you Lord for reminding us all how much we should be thankful for and appreciate all
the blessings and little things we take for granted! |
 |
| Toothbrushes lined up...many full of dirt or worn down from months or years of use! |
 |
| Visting the Santa Barbara Church Annex! |
 |
| Inside the small church! |
 |
| This family gave up half of their small house to be used for this church...leaving them with a small part of the house to live in. Sacrificing their comforts of living, so they can help open doors for others to fellowship and learn about the love of CHRIST! |
 |
Another family...not much to live on! All family members sleep in one small room
with just a few mattresses! |
 |
| It was a blessing to be able to give food and pray with each family! |
 |
| Jim showing love and compassion for this little girl. Her family lives in a small brick room, which doubles as a store, where the mother tries to sell drinks and small snacks to the locals! |
 |
| There is so much poverty in this area! |
 |
| Another family that is grateful, but humble. |
 |
| They share their space with guinea pigs and other animals, until they become dinner! |
 |
| One small child asleep in a hammock styled bed...flies covering his body as he lay down to sleep! |
 |
Thanking and praising God for the food provided!
"For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land."
~Deuteronomy 15:11 |
