Estoy en casa; mi corazon, en Peru

Got home from Peru about noontime today. Wow. What a wonderful week. The group I was with from churches here in North Carolina saw God's hand at work in many ways: in ministry with children; in worship through preaching, testimony, singing, and sacrament; and in missional outreach in new and challenging areas around the city of Chincha Alta.

It'll take a few days to get caught up on things here in Durham. But after that I plan on writing a few posts to describe the tremendous work of the Holy Spirit among the Methodists of Chincha and its surrounding communities. Under the pastoral guidance of their district superintendent, Rev. Pedro Uchuya, they are witnessing to the salvation of Jesus Christ in both word and deed. And the fruits of their labor are evident in lives transformed by grace.

I look forward to sharing some stories from our mission in the coming days. Hasta entonces, I give thanks to God for an invigorating experience with my brothers and sisters in Peru. It is good to be home, but as always, I left a part of my heart there.
