Driving Lima to Puno

Scott and Lucho Nakagawa getting our new Toyota 4 Runner ready for the road.

This is a church project outside of Ica on the coast. A bad earthquake here two years ago left many homeless, including these children. They receive one meal a day and a safe haven when parents are away.

All of the shifting sands were just like snowstorms at home. Being down to one lane with all of their truck traffic is a bit unnerving.


















The Peruvian coast has hundreds of miles of wild coastline and very barren landscape. We felt like we were in Saudi Arabia. The steep drop offs would make nail biters of all of you hating heights. Guard rails? Are you kidding?

Bev and Rev.Guillermo in a veryvery poor area outside of Arequipa. This settlement has no water, makeshift homes and is mainly families who have migrated from Cusco and Puno looking for work.

Inside this humble church they sit on rocks and bricks for pews.

Proof we have arrived in Puno!

We met with this Peru/Bolivia delegation today to plan our year together with our new Peru/Bolivia Lake Titicaca Border Mission. They are very excited to put the church into action regarding healthcare, water systems, and improving the lives in their communities.

This last week has reminded us of how thankful we are for all we have been blessed with.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!
