Getting Ready

Our group is all scrambling around, getting last-minute details taken care of before we leave this week. The Hasslers are already on the ground in Peru, visiting family and getting things ready for our arrival. As always, satan attacks God's children, and many members of our group are running into problems of one sort or another. Tori, Novene, and I were practicing volleyball drills yesterday, and I managed to hurt my hand, so now I have to wear a splint (typing is a challenge!) and try to get in to see a hand surgeon before we leave Tuesday night.

Please continue to pray for our group, for our safety and the safety of our families. Pray that our work is effective and that we cherish the time we spend with the locals, as well as the time that we get to spend together as a group.

Piura Information

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.
