So since we have been here we have been just go, go, going and I was talking to Benny about it and it is just so amazing the amount of people that we have reached and the amount of Gods work we have done. It is truly hard to believe that we have only been here for a little over a week. We have bonded so much over the one week that we have been together as well and that can only be a product of devine nature because it is usually hard to get a group of kids to talk to each other at times much less get as close as we have already got and it is still really just the beginning! But I did not...

The last couple days have been busy and a lot of fun. Friday, we went to the prison again and played soccer with the men after a very emotional prayer session. All these men were super happy to see us and welcomed us with open arms. The older men were all outside working with tools and crafting pictures and furniture out of wood while the younger men were inside just sitting around or making objects out of rolled newspaper. Then in the afternoon, half of our team went to a neighborhood in the second poorest district in Iquitos. As we walked down the muddy "street," we passed...

Hello again everyone! I love it here in Iquitos! I love listening to the rain, which is somehow alot louder here than at home. It puts a whole new meaning to the song lyric "It's the song of the forgiven, drowning out the amazon rain." There are so many stories I wish I could tell you, like when three of us girls got lost in Iquitos for a while and had to find our way back from memory, or riding on the back of a moped balancing groceries through the caos of these streets, or making my way through the market looking for a...

Peru Refreshment

We were hot…sweaty. It had been days since most of us had taken showers and the thin film of greasiness which is ever so constant covered us all. I looked around the room and saw a group of young men and women drained…tired…but not yet to the point of exhaustion or fatigue. I saw it in their faces and felt it in my heart as I continued to strum Matt´s guitar. I tried to engage my heart into it but didn´t quite have an abundance of energy…I felt His leading back into rest and was relieved that we were about to go there. Earlier in the day Brittany had come...

Pouring into Jesus

Last night I lay in bed after being resting in His presence and being fed by my team. I thought about how we´re becoming a culture of honor here in Peru and how God had been blessing both myself and the team through a quickening process of grace. I thought about Jesus and what His life looked like…and then a thought hit me. He chose to let His disciples pour into Him. Jesus, after 30 years of living, decided to reach the world through a group of disciples. There were more than 12 that accompanied Him and not all that were called became part of the 12. Likewise, there were...

Walking Out of Prison

During one of the night sessions at training camp, Micahel Hindes shared about getting set free from prisons in our lives. The doors of these prisons have been opened by Christs work on the cross, but we still have decide whether or not were going to walk out of them. Kind of like a bird who flies into a garage, and cant figure out that he must go back out the same way he came in. He has the ability to get out, but hes blinded by whats in front of him so that he stays in his prison, even though there really isnt anything holding him there. It was a powerful time of deliverance where we...
