Today is my 5th day in Cajamarca, Peru. This has been such an amazing trip. As with most opportunities that God places before you, I feel I'm GETTING more than I am GIVING, both from the locals as well as my travel companions. Being in a place with believers and very few distractions gives you a chance to recharge and refocus. Because I am here with a small group (Dave Hughey and the girls - as they are calling us) we have had a lot of freedom to come and go and have been able to fit in a lot more activities than with a larger group. All day long I have had this line from one of our praise and worship songs stuck in my head. "You are not a God in need of anything we can give. You are God and that's just the way it is." In a place where so many of them have NOTHING to give, they don't get caught up in their own self sufficieny......it's not an option for many of them. I am reminded daily of how blessed I am. While we witnessed to the people here in the town square, they would often approach us and gather around just to hear what we had to say. They are hungry for food, for affection and for God.
If you have not had the blessing of coming to Villa Milagra, please pray about supporting their efforts and if at all possible, try to come here and experience the people, their culture, and be apart of the Great Commission taking place in Peru.
