Pucallpa Nov 09 Part 2.

Day 2 was the hottest of the 6 days and people really struggled as we went to a Shibipo church that was supposedly 20 minutes away from our host church Luz Divina. After waiting for about an hour, we went in search of more than half the team who had been dropped off at a different church. The road had been changed about 2 weeks before so the mototaxi drivers were getting lost. This meant we started late, but as usual God was there and we had shared some excellent workshops with the Shibpo leaders and congreagation. It was quite amusing to see Virna speaking in Spanish and being translated to a different language.

Following a meal of chicken and rice we did a kids club for the kids, which went well, especially when the kids got over their nerves of speaking Spanish (which they speak fluently, even though it is there second language) and really joined in, and got a lot out of the story of the lost sheep and how God loves us all. We finished by asking the kids to put on their name stickers on a heart we had cut out and we have donated that to the people there.

We finished the teaching of that day as I shared my talk on spiritual parenting to the 50% of people that were still awake when I had finished (due to heat and exhaustion I’d like to say), and then had a meal of chicken and chips (a traditional Peruvian meal!), as we celebrated Joseph’s birthday.
