“Un-stressing…”

With graduations this week, our youth took some time out on Saturday to play and to just laugh.  This was Kiana’s first meeting back after her arrival in Mexico, with them.

A breath-taking shot

Who couldn’t be in awe of this place, “Machu Pichu” near Cusco, Peru!  Kiana and her team after ministry in Lima got to do this on their day off.  Wow!  As you can see, Tracey was there to enjoy the sights too!

The calm before…

Here Tracey is consulting with one of the leaders just before an event at a local cultural exposition in Lima.  It is truly amazing the lives that these young people touched and those who gave their life to Christ in such a short time.

Just got a look at the pictures taken by Kiana and Tracey on their trip to Lima.  And just couldn’t keep my eyes off of this one of our local volcano in Mexico on their way out.

All Mine!

Every week we spend time playing outdoor games with the youth.  And each week we struggle finding a place (court) to play on.  Locals usually are busy playing soccer on the different courts.  So this week we left the area where we normally play searching for an isolated court.  And guess what?  We found an empty obscure court.  I’m not sure we’ll go here every week, considering it is a 30 minute walk from where we meet, but at least when we need it – there it is.

Relief ahead!

On Sunday, I was treated to one of the most longed for gifts that God could have given me.  One of the men in the church who has been with us for over a year preached in the worship service.  I had invited him to prepare a short message on Acts 6.  He did a great job in motivating, explaining and keeping within the time frame.  Great job, Gerardo!  God will soon raise up him and others to teach and preach in the congregation.

Drumming in Africa

Keila told me the other day that one of the personal joys that she’s experienced while being in Uganda has been playing her newly purchased “drum” for the team during their early morning worship times.  I asked her, “Does anyone accompany you?”  She said that another girl plays a guitar.  Glad to see that Keila hasn’t lost her touch with the guitar.
