Quick update-June 11, 2013

Hello guys,

Here is a quick update from the team:

The team practiced Spellpound this morning after spending time with the Lord as a team. This afternoon, they unpacked and sorted 1500 pounds of supplies, which included medicines, sports equipment, bibles, and gifts that they will give away over the next two weeks.

The team is thankful for everyone's prayers! Let's keep praying for them, especially as they will be heading out for some street ministry this evening.

Thank you.

Quick agenda for today, June 11, 2013.

Hello guys,

Quick agenda for today June 11, 2013.

Today the team will be departing from their hotel in the morning heading out to the church for breakfast. At the church, they will also have their devotions and a time for worship during the morning. The team will meet for a meeting and get to organize all the materials they have brought from the U.S. for ministry in Lima, and Pomacochas.

After having lunch at the church in the early afternoon, they will have drama practice to get ready for ministry in the streets and churches. Around mid-afternoon, they will learn to get into costume and apply the wonderful makeup.

Later in the afternoon, they will spend time in prayer for the mission and head out to dinner in the church. As the early evening starts, they will go out to the streets for drama ministry. They will later return to their hotel and get ready for bed.

Please keep praying for the team as they start out in the first official day in Lima, Peru. We know that God will do some amazing miracles and work in the heart of each of our teammates and those who are awaiting to hear about Jesus.

Thank you all.

Arrived in Lima, Peru!

The team safely landed in Lima, Peru around 10:42 p.m. EST. 

Hello Team,

As the team disembarks the plane, they will go through the building and get their passports stamped with their visas. Then, they'll head to the baggage claim area to pick up their suitcases. Now, it is after this part of the process that things get interesting. They will go through a section where they will need to press a button hoping to avoid the red light. If they get the green light, they can just walk out from the airport and off to their bus. However, the red light would mean that their luggage would have to inspected by the airport officials and scanners. Each individual has to press this button. 

I'll ask you all to pray that this will be a smooth process for the team. Our hope is that they get as many green lights as possible. This could be a 2 hour process or more. Then they will be headed outside and to the buses to head out to the hotel.

I'll keep you guys updated with any news as they become available.

God is good!
