Long and Exciting Week

Well, the 2008 mission trip to Chiclayo, Peru has come to an end. Looking back at the events that we were involved in this week, I do believe we all could agree that our stay in Peru was very productive. We were all treated to a Rock Star depature from several kids as well as their parents from Ciudad De Dios. They were screaming and banging on the bus as we drove out of town. As a result of the reception that we got, it is my belief that we have sown some amount of seeds on fertile ground for the local missionaries to help cultivate. I am hoping that we were able to show these people that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ truly love them.

As we prepare for the second part of our trip, Cusco and Ikitos, I do ask you to pray for us. Please pray that we all reach our destination safely and that we all return to the state safe.

Thanks.

Introduction to Piura:

Piura is a city in northwestern Peru. It is the capital of the Piura Region and the Piura Province.

The population is approximately 400,000.

It was here that Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro founded the first Spanish city in South America, San Miguel de Piura, in 1532, thus earning the modern day city its Peruvian nickname: "La Primera Ciudad"- meaning: the first city.
