Shoulder to Shoulder in Peru

The last week of July was spent in Lima Peru with 205 others from Grace Church.  We worked "hombro a hombro" with hundreds from our sister church in Callao.  We did 19 presentations for nearly 13,000 Peruvians and a few dogs.  Throughout the week we saw nearly 4,000 choose to follow Jesus for the first time!  It was an exciting week ministering in parks, shopping malls, streets, schools, a rehabilitation center and parade.  It was special to reunite with friends made during our previous 4 visits to Peru and special to make new ones.  They are such gracious, joyful, loving people and it was a privilege to serve with them again!

Other points of interest include eating cow heart and stomach, and Dustin lighting his face on fire while fire breathing during a show.  He was told afterward not to take literally the saying, "he's so on fire for Jesus that people come for miles just to watch him burn"!  It sure worked as an attention grabber and he proceeded to share the powerful Gospel message and ride and juggle on his 10 ft. unicycle to complete the show.
