<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent">Hello everyone,<br /> <br />
First, let me tell you all how appreciative I am of everyone who has
either called me, told me in person, Facebook me, and so forth, thanking
me for the Peru updates. It was a privilege and I absolutely enjoyed
doing it. Again, thank you for the opportunity to provide you all with
such amazing updates and just to read about what God had done in the
lives of the team and also those lives that were touched in Peru.<br /> <br /> Second, I want to thank Bill King
for the consistent communication, as the team moved from one location
to another, or from one event to the next. I could have not provided
such detailed updates without his great communication skills. Thank you.
I wanted to go to Peru so badly this year (just as any other year), but
I knew that God had a plan and I just needed to<span class="text_exposed_show"> listen and obey. After Jana Jenkins,
our beloved Crosswave administrator, passed away, God reassured me that
there is always a reason for everything. I am glad that we stayed as a
family to confront such hard times for us and Crosswave. God needed us
this summer in Raleigh.<br /> <br /> Lastly, this group will remain open and
the posts will probably slow down, but I do hope that you come back and
visit it as much as possible just to get a reminder of what a wonderful
trip the CrossWave team took on the summer of 2013. Read about the
miracles that God did in the lives of many Peruvians and all of our
temmates. Who knows what’s ahead for <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=11829610&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A132512793455412%7D" href="http://www.blogger.com/null">Christina Short Salinas</a>,
Carleigh, and I, but I am excited and looking forward to next year.
Hey! I might have the opportunity to provide these updates live from
Peru! Only God knows.<br /> <br /> Until next time!<br /> <br /> Carlos Raul Salinas</span></span></span></span></span></h5>

They will likely arrive in Lima somewhere between 7-8 p.m. Peru time.<br /><br />After they arrive in Lima, they will go to their hotel, where they will repack everything again to get ready for Sunday, before they leave Lima, Peru and return to the U.S.<br /><br />Let’s pray for the team as they travel back to Lima. Let’s pray for safety and strength. I think we can all agree that we can’t wait to hear all these testimonies and stories that the team has accumulated for the past several days. God is good!<br /><br />Thank you all<br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<br />

Thursday and Friday events<div class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent">Good morning everyone,<br /> <br /> Here is a quick update from Bill King on the team from Thursday's and Friday's events:<br /> <br /> Thursday:<br />
"Many battles in the last two days, but God gives us strength to press
on! There was a gospel presentation to 600 elementary school kids, then
we gave them each a gift in their classroom. This all happened after
being rebuffed by the school admin about our coming at all. <br /> <br />
After some team/God time, and packing, we held the third evening
conference, shared two dramas and witnessed God touching His people. <br /> <br /> Friday:<br /> <br />
Today, we left the hotel at 5:30 a.m. (Peru time) to visit Kuelap, the
ancient fortress of the Cloud people. It is awesome! Then another test, a
4 hour road delay which completely changed our Chachapoyas schedule.
When we finally reached the town, we rushed to the school, changed into
costume, and shared the dram and prayed a blessing over the school. So
many new stories to share!!! Now on the bus for the 22 hour return to
Lima. Please pray for a strong finish!"<br /> <br /> Well, there you have it. Let's keep praying for the team!<br /> <br /> Thank you all</span></span></div>

After breakfast, they will go ahead and get on a bus to a city nearby called Chachapoyas. At this point, they have already said their good byes to the people of Pomacochas, plus they have already checked out from their hotel. <br /><br />As they arrive in Chachapoyas, they will travel to the fortress of Kuelap to learn about some Peruvian history (see link below for more info on Kuelap).<br /><br />In the afternoon and have dinner there, before helping with the conference, where they will do Spellbound. This is a new city that they have now been given the opportunity to go ahead and minister and help the Lima team. After the conference is over, they will go ahead and change clothes and get on the bus to start their journey back to Lima. <br /><br />Well, today is a big day of traveling. Let's pray for comfort and safety as they go to Chachapoyas and then off to Lima, before heading home on Sunday night. God is so good and we know that He has great plans for them while they stop by Chachapoyas. <br /><br />Thank you all.<br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuelap" target="_blank">Chachapoyas</a><br />

Good morning everyone,<br /><br />Countdown: 4 days left until their arrival back home!<br /><br />Today the team will depart again wearing their costumes from the hotel and head off to the church for breakfast, devotions, and a joint praise meeting. Then, they will travel to a school and do some drama ministry there. They will also try to interact with the students and just share the love of Jesus with them. They will have lunch at this site.<br /><br />After lunch, they plan on attending a baptism, which is likely to happen right by the lake. They will also head back to the town square for more drama ministry and hope to reach out to more people that are ready to hear about Jesus. Afterwards, they will return to the hotel, freshen up, an then head out for dinner at the church and then take part of the conference in the evening. Clever, from the Lima team, will be speaking tonight. They will all return to the hotel to get some rest and get ready for Friday, as they will travel to another city (Chachapoyas) close to Pomacochas before returning to Lima.<br /><br />Let's keep praying for the team, as they only have two more days left in Pomacochas and the surrounding area. Jesus is shining and I am happy to report that everyone is doing well and they are all excited to see what God has done so far!<br /><br />Thank you all<br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<br />

Wednesday's eventsGood morning everyone,<br /><br />Here is a quick update from Bill King on the team from Wednesday's events:<br /><br />"This morning we visited the middle/high school (7th to 11th grades) with 450 students. We presented the drama and the gospel and prayed with the students as a group. We then gave them each one the six color bracelets we use to remember what God has done. Six of our girls had an impromptu soccer match with a PE class, and they played hard!<br /><br />After lunch, we went to the main square and shared Spellbound. 20 people prayed to confess Christ. Jorge and Charro were there too. Then we traveled to the Hummingbird Conservatory to look for the Marvelous Spateultail (bird-see picture), and everyone saw one. They are beautiful!<br /><br />After dinner, we held the second Joy of Faith Conference with people continuing to come throughout the message. God stirred up new faith in many, many people such that Pastor Roberto's eyes filled with tears. God is building His kingdom. Thank you for praying."<br /><br />Well, there you have it! Great news! God is working full-time always! Let's keep praying for the team as they have a busy Thursday ahead!<br /><br />Thank you all.<br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<br />

The lake is beautiful, and we have been served breakfast by Doris and Soila, Santiago and Lichard.

After a long journey, they will head out to breakfast this morning to the host church in this city, where they will have devotions, and a joint praise meeting. <br /><br />Later in the morning, they will go on a hike to a location known as Hummingbirds. After, they will enjoy lunch with some exquisite and delicious trout, fresh from the small farm trout in the area. They will also take a boat ride in the lake and enjoy God's majesty and creation. <br /><br />As the evening comes, they will head back to the hotel to get ready for dinner at the church. After dinner, they will have a Conference to attend, where it is likely that there will be a small kick off ceremony (due to their late arrival last night, this is more likely to be pushed to today). They will do Spellbound during the conference, and Mary McLaurin will be speaking as well.<br /><br />Please pray for strength as they are getting settled into this new environment and getting to meet new people. Pray that every person that they meet throughout the day will hear the good news of Jesus. <br /><br />Thank you all.<br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<span id="goog_1406679931"></span><span id="goog_1406679932"></span><br />

They will return to Lima next Saturday, June 22. <br /><br />After breakfast and having already finish packing all their stuff for their adventure, they will head out to the church for the Sunday service. They will also have lunch at the church and then they will decide what will be next in their agenda. Some of the choices could be having some team time and preparation for their trip up north. They are also thinking on doing some drama ministry, possibly around the park by Metro (similar to a Walmart/Target). Regardless of which choice they take, it will be a very productive afternoon.<br /><br />Then they will head back to the church for dinner and the missions conference will then start back up. The Team will be part of the closing ceremony with Spellbound. After finishing with the conference, they will change and depart to the bus station to travel somewhere around 21-22 hours up north, right almost at the center of Peru, where mountains and jungle meet. As the night comes, they will continue their travel in the bus and the adventure continues tomorrow Monday, June 17.<br /><br />Let's pray for the team as they get ready to depart for Pomacochas. It is a long ride, and it can be very tiring to be in a bus for such long period of time. Let's pray for safety and comfort as they travel. Jesus has great plans ahead for the people of Pomacochas and I can't wait to hear all the stories as they return home. Let's also pray that as they help close the conference on missions, the people of San Juan de Lurigancho will see the need to take teams to other parts of Peru to bring the gift of salvation and hope!<br /><br />Thank you all.<br /><br />Carlos Raul SalinasCarlos R.

Good morning everyone,<br /><br />The team will depart from the hotel and head out to breakfast, devotions, and worship time at the church this morning. Then, they will get ready to leave for a sports clinic, where they will do some drama ministry, plus incorporate sports such as soccer and volleyball. They will eat lunch at the site of their ministry and then head out to the Good Shepherd Orphanage.<br /><br />Good Shepherd is located in Callao, Peru and CrossWave has been helping them in different ways, including sending a team to do some cleaning work, but mainly helping with their food needs. We also take teammates to the orphanage just to love on the kids and play with them. It is such an amazing and sweet time where we can pray for them and let them know how much God loves them. <br /><br />If you are interested in more information on how to help this orphanage, please join our Facebook group. You can find more pictures about the work that CrossWave has done for the past years.<br /><br />As they finish their visit at the orphanage, they will head out back to the hotel to change and get ready for dinner at the church. Mary McLaurin will again help with the "Women in Missions" workshop tonight. Then the team will spend some time together before heading back to the hotel to get some rest and great ready for a busy Sunday.<br /><br />Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. Last night, the conference went great at the church and God continues to do miracles in the lives of His people. Pray for strength for the team, as they are coming close to their 1 week in Peru. <br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Carlos Raul SalinasCarlos R.

They will dine at the church and then get ready for the conference. There will be two workshops: Mary McLaurin will lead the "Women in Missions" workshop, while Bill King will lead the "Trinity in Missions" workshop. <br /><br />Many of our teammates will help with the childcare and also with the youth groups while the conference takes place. After the conference is over, they will return to their hotel and get some rest for an amazing weekend coming ahead!<br /><br />Thank you all for praying! The team is doing really well and they have certainly seen God move!

Hello guys,<br /><br />Quick agenda for today Thursday, June 13, 2013. <br /><br />Today is the team's day off after such amazing number of days working long hours for the glory of God. They will leave the hotel and head out to breakfast at the church. After breakfast, they will ride their bus and go to the Wall Park, which is located in downtown Lima and have devotions there. <br /><br />While they are downtown, they will visit the majestic beauty of downtown Lima and the amazing architecture that was brought by the Spaniards many years ago. They will then head out to lunch at Pizza Hut in the district of Miraflores. In this district, they will also go to the Indian Market for any souvenirs. Then, they will approach the Pacific ocean and hit Larcomar, a mall located right by the sea. <br /><br />As the night comes, they will eat dinner as they ride back towards the church where they will do the Everything drama for a conference that night. They will end their day with some team time and go back to the hotel to rest and get ready for Friday!<br /><br />God is working! Let's keep praying for our team. They certainly appreciate all the prayers and are grateful for all the support. <br /><br />Carlos Raul Salinas<br />
