Musings on life here

Today I was sat in Pacifico de Villa where we are currently doing the Kidz Klub and the mums and tots group and thinking about why we are here. This didn't last very long because I was sitting with Daniel and Joel eating biscuits we had just bought from the shop. (9p for a small packet of biscuits can't be bad, except on the waistline of course)! I was thinking what an amazing opportunity we have been given here in Peru to serve the people and God, as well as the people of Pacifico de Villa. As I was sitting there I said to Daniel 'can you see the sea'. He replied 'where'?

It made me think this place is so beautiful naturally, sun sea and sand, (well the sun outside of winter) but due to people having to find someone to live, and having very little money to do this a beautiful place becomes an eyesore. It is the real hard story of those who have and those who have not, and the people of Pacifico are in the bracket of have not. (This situation is the same with Ventanilla, which again is a beautiful place that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, but is even poorer than Pacifico), Most of those who work in Pacifico serve those who have. Therefore it is wonderful to be able to reverse this process and be in the part of those who have and serve those who do not have.

Action shot!

Kidz Klub was last Saturday and was the best one we have done and many of the kids prayed to accept Jesus, an amazing time and one I will never forget.

Our amazing team

We also have been growing in number and maturity in regards to the mums and tots. Today I felt we made another step forward as mums are now asking questions of us, and also helping us clear up, which culturally is a real sign of acceptance. Some of the mums are now asking us about our church and how they can be part of the bigger picture. It is such an honour to be involved in work as this.
