Prayer for Milk Cow Valerie - Here She Is.

She is not ready for milking yet. Pray for her health and growth.

Reflections on our Trip - Answered Prayers

Today ,we went in front of the church and explained some of what happened on our Mission Trip to Peru. The biggest praise is that all 8 of our prayer requests were answered. We were able to help with the set up the Orphanage, we had lots of supporters, our travel went smoothly, we were healthy while there, we were able to deliver 24 bags of luggage with supplies for the children, we were able to give an summary to our church about the orphanage. As we review our newsletter that was sent out before on trip - most of the tasks/items listed were accomplished. The garden tiller was delivered, Keary was able to complete many sewing projects, we decorated the bathrooms, a cow was purchased for the children, and banners were made and supplies were provided for future banners.
Prayer Request Outstanding -
1) Orphanage will be used by God to care for children in Crisis
2) Rooms will be painted and inside decorating will be completed
3) Babies with HIV will be cared for and their situation addressed
4) Milk Cow Barn and Operation constructed

We are feeling better and miss our friends in Peru

Olivia and Maddie are having breakfast. We are home and feeling much better. Keary was very sick for several days but is now feeling great. Olivia and Maddie had a special time with their new friends Noelle and Sarah. Most of their Pet Shop animal friends traveled with us to Cusco and back. They also wanted to say hello and say they missed you.

We are offically home but are sick - Thank you all!

We arrived late last night from Raleigh, NC. - We are getting settled and are planning to have a time of sharing God's work over the last three weeks in the very near future.

KFC

Jorge's first meal at KFC! And TMNT too!

Stephen and Jorge in front of the Peruvian President's palace this morning!

A Great Visit

We have been sponsoring Jorge through Compassion International for the past 3 years. He came to our hotel this morning with his mother and together we toured historic downtown Lima. He enjoyed his first meal at Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch with us! It was a special day together!

John 1

at least we think so......In Quechua! We were able to attend a Quechua service last week. WOW, that was certainly a first! The language is very phonetic and is read just like English. We just don't know what is means, but at least we can sing correctly!

Babies have arrived

Sunday seven babies arrived! Mama Cerdo delivered healthy piglets. We have enjoyed watching them play in the barnyard. Grandma Cerdo is expecting any day now so we will soon have more! OINK!

Meet Valerie

YEAH!! Meet Valerie! Yesterday we left our village of Pallpanccay to pick out the COW. Isn't she beautiful? She will reside at the home of the Powlison's in a few weeks after a shed is built for her. She is young but will be a great milk producer! We are so excited to be able to facilitate this gift for the orphans from the children at Covenant Presbyterian Church!
