Equipo Comision Cajamarca

I arrived back in Trujillo on Sunday morning and I'll be here now for the rest of my time- only five weeks now which seems crazy! This past weekend I was part of a missionary team in Cajamarca. The youth from Lima and Trujillo arrived on Thursday morning and we began our packed schedule for the three days ahead. A lot of the time we spent preparing for the various activities that we had: children's afternoon, open air evangelising and a theatre performance. We all slept at the Church which meant each night we had great fun playing sports and each morning it was a race to the shower. Or maybe I should say it was a race to see if there was water. Most days the water ran out sometime in the morning and didn't come back on until the next day which made flushing the toilet, washing hands and brushing teeth kind of difficult.

Ready for our afternoon with the children

Despite this lack of water I had an amazing time with all the young people- watching them give their lives so completely to God and hearing all the dreams for the future. I was so blessed to join in with this group of youth who want to serve God in everything they do.

Drama 

On the Saturday morning we all piled into a huge bus which took us to a small village higher up in the mountains called Cumbimayo where we spent a few hours walking. It was an hour away along a dirt track which wound steeply through the hills, making me pray that we had a skilled driver. When we arrived I felt I'd been magically transported back to the countryside Scotland. It was beautiful here with huge rocks and green, green grass everywhere. Half way through our hike we had our last bible study finishing the story of David. It was so nice sitting with the mountains all around, soaking in the truths of God's word.

Ahhhh

All in the all the weekend was filled with blessings. I pray that people's lives were changed this Easter, that God's light was shone in dark places and that more glory was given to our Lord, our Creator and our Father.
