Pray for Huaraz

For the past week there has been considerable unrest in Huaraz and the Huaylas Valley. One person was killed and a number were injured. All roads have been blocked to Huaraz, many businesses and government buildings have been damaged and the central market was looted.  A strike has been taking place in protest of  a mining companies exploration plans near Laguna Conococha. For the moment talks are taking place and we are hopeful order will return beyond the 5 day moratorium now being observed. Fortunately, I left the area Monday afternoon (Dec. 6) with a team and headed to Lima so they could catch their flight back to the US. I plan to leave Lima tomorrow and return to Huaraz for a few days. Pray that the negotiations will go well and all parties will seek peaceful solutions.

Pray for Caraz

This week we will be working with Pastors Ken and Jonathan and from North Carolina along with our translator, Tavo. We will be in the northern extreme of the Huaylas Valley. While there we will be prayer walking, engaging people on the street and setting up a crusade for February 2011. We also hope to spend time with 2 new Believers at the hotel where we will be staying.  Pray for the pastors and the translators as they seek to share the Gospel with the people in Caraz. Pray for the people we will encounter.

Please pass this on to other prayer warriors.
