Toronto School of Ministry Part 2

Day 3 was the team’ s first visit to Pacifico and Leah shared a great word on the love of our Father, which was well recieved by all the people who eventually got to the service at 11.30, just in time for the 10.00 start!

We met in Jaime and Belen's house as normal, but due to the large numbers of people Belentook the initiave and took her wall down to make more space for us, who ever said the Peruvians were not inventive.

Day 4 was a prayer day as we set off early to go to the centre of Lima and go up Mount Cristobal, which on a good day gives views of most of Lima. The weather was slightly hazy, but still gave a very good perspective of Lima.

Following lunch we started the second of many journeys on a small combi (small minibus) to Pacifico. I normally have a problem trying to stop these combis as they do not believe a white European (Gringo) would want to get on a bus to a shanty town, so you cacn imagine how difficult it was with 14 of us!! We climbed up to the highest point in Pacifco so we could pray. We certainly made an impression as 15 Gringos walked through a cacaphony of dogs barking, people shouting and kids saying “ello”. Chorrillos by night.

The view was spectacular and a real surprise to me as on the other sideof the hill which is Pacifico is built on is a beautiful beach cove.

This dog adopted Daniel when we were overlooking Pacifico.
