It’s toward the end of my trip. I’m now here alone and the last one to go. These are some of the moments that made me laugh out loud and others which brought me to tears. Then there were times when I raised and eye brow or two. All of these moments were with people I never knew. There is no way for me to summarize my two months here. I shared so many special moments with so many wonderful people. It has been and honor and privilege to meet and get to know each of you. Truly, I am humbled by meeting you. I saw God’s amazing grace in all of you. I hope you always remember your time here in Peru, and that you find your way back.
When in Rome do what the Romans do.

Jesus loves you.
I didn’t have to come to Piura, Peru, nor did you. I had to stay and I also know you had to go. You may not know why you came and then again maybe you do. I’m still working on that one too. Either way, it was God who invited you. And me too.
Therefore, this is my prayer for you. Heavenly Father, I thank you for the wonderful mission friends you sent into my life. I praise you Lord God, for their openness, hospitality, generosity, and welcoming spirit. I ask Lord that you continue to bless them with the love, joy, and peace they encountered in you here in Piura, Peru. God give them revelation into their own lives, to your son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Help them all Lord to see life is in you! In Jesus name I pray.
Muchas gracias mi amigos!
Holy Fire Peru
