Tupicocha

Last weekend Junior had the chance to go up into the mountains for 3 days with a team of 12 people comprised of members from some of the nearby churches and a group of doctors. 



A boy they met on the way up the mountain.  
The group stopped and visited with him. 



 They had the opportunity to give some health advice and to throw Christmas parties for the children.  They stopped in 4 villages before ending up in a town called Tupicocha. 

One of the orphan girls in Tupicocha who received

her Christmas gift.

He came back with many stories from the people he met.  Here are a few pictures that show what the area is like.  It is up in the mountains about 5 hours from Lima.  The people are very poor and there is a lot of need.   But they are also very generous and so grateful for anything that you can do to help them.  This is one of the areas where we would like to work in evangelizism and discipleship, but ask for God's guidance and wisdom as to how best to go about it.  Please pray that God will open doors in supernatural ways, because the need is so overwhelming it is hard to know where to start.
