A team of 5 from Riverland Hills Church (Irmo, S.C.) is now making their final preparations to come to Perú. This will be their first official trip to Llacón and Llacsa, villages they have adopted in the department of Huánuco. At the end of the road in Llacsa there has never been any evangelical presence. Their ideas and beliefs are very different from ours. Pray for the folks from Riverland Hills and our translators Gladys and Robert as they begin to build relationships with the Huallaga Quechua, learn their culture and find bridges to share the Gospel.
This weekend and most of next week, our Strategy Coordinating church from Jesup, Georgia will be ministering in the city of Yungay. While there they will conduct Bible studies, prayer walk in the city, hand out tracts and witness. Pray that their efforts will not diminished by the Semana Santa (Holy Week) fiestas and noise.
Things are getting quite lively here and around the rest of the country. Many people are traveling back to their hometowns for the big election tomorrow. Citizens are REQUIRED by law to vote. Among the frontrunners are a congresswoman, retired soldier, former prime minister, former mayor and a former president. Pray the elections will run smoothly and peacefully. Pray that the most capable and most honest person will be elected.
