Pray for the FEW!
“So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen” (Matthew 20:16).

Peruvian Traffic
A New Perspective
The climax of our trip concluded with probably the most spectacular activity we could have imagined: a helicopter tour of the city of Callao and the surrounding towns.

Summary: The Extremes of Peru

Summary: Building Relationships

First, the team traveled about two hours north by bus to a school where took the opportunity to share testimonies, sing, and explain how to have true success in life. We then ate lunch with the students and had a great time just interacting with them one […]
A Day of Firsts
