As the media guy for this trip, it's been absolutely unbelievable to see what God is doing here in Peru; it gives me chills just thinking about it. Today I'd like to share 21 “real-life” examples of how God is working in this country for His glory. Watch and enjoy. Perhaps you might know someone. :)
These are just some of the examples of the work that God is doing here. Stay tuned for more throughout the week!

Jackie-Thanks so much for going down and being a leader with our girls. I love seeing the pictures of you and everytime they make me cry. It is funny how moms can connect with other moms even if they don't speak the same language and I can definitely see how you connect with the mom's there. Thanks for everything and see you soon. Carol

To all the teams, what a privilege to share your experience day by day. Thank you to Graham for making that happen. To Josh Robinson: you don't hear me say it nearly enough, but I am so proud of you, humbled at your spirit to serve, and amazed at the man you are growing into. I love you. Dad

We are all called to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to love others as Christ does and to love who the world considers the unlovables. You have all stepped out in boldness and obedience to be the hands and feet of Christ in Peru and to love everyone there. God is working through all of you, through your willingness, your faithfulness and your passion and love for him...to show God's amazing love to the Peruvians. He will do the same when you return home...so continue to shine bright for him....to walk in his ways and to live for him. God has amazing plans for each one of you...this is just the beginning !!! We continue to pray for all of you and continue to be open to his leading. We can't wait to see you on Saturday Matt....only 2 more sleeps. LOL....thought you would get a kick out of that. PS - thank you Ray for bringing your world into ours this week. It has been amazing to see all of the pictures and to be able to keep updated every day. It is the high light of our day for our family. We've stayed up until almost 1:30 am to see these tonight. I know the pictures do not compare to being there...but they have been a blessing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ray. Jake and Brett, we are so thrilled to see the answers to our prayers in your interviews. What deep things you will have to teach us when you come back. It is wonderful to see you every day on the website - that is where Dad and I start our day! :) May God continue to work in your hearts as you serve this week. Keep open to the Holy Spirit's leading; push through with the strength that comes from Him alone to the last day, and "finish well". Take care of your team, your leaders and each other, by "serving one another in love". We are here praying for you and missing you, but so thrilled to hear your testimonies of what God is doing. Love, Mom and Dad

Still trying to process emotions from just looking at the pictures! Praying for you all and the many emotions as you experience this, and for daily endurance. Thanks for sharing your days with us and blessing their lives and ours as you share God's love in Trujillo.

It is a wonderful thing to see God at work!. My prayer would be that I too, can see people with eyes like my boys have. I am so thrilled that they have this chance to see God's grace and mercy in challenging situations. It is clear from the videos that these kids are seeing more with spiritual eyes than wordly eyes. May we all have that vision!
Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
If anyone is in the hugging mood, please give our sons ( Adam and Colin Beswick) a big hug from their parents (and little bro!).
Thanks to all the leaders for watching over the hearts of these young men and women!

As I check the accounts and updates every day, I am filled with much heartfelt appreciation for all the team leaders. Without your sacrifice, our children would not be having this awesome opportunity and experience. It is completely obvious to me as I read the latest news and view all the pictures, that you have set an excellent example for them of a servant’s heart and they seem so eager to follow it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your faithful obedience. (P.S. All that time we spent with the children years ago scouring the pages of “Where’s Waldo?” have finally paid off as we search through each new set of photos for ‘Where’s Josh?’:)

What a blessing you have been to me through the pictures, blogs and videos. I have been moved to tears by the love and compassion of Jesus himself displayed through you to the people of Peru. I pray that God would continue to use this experience and opportunity to grow and strengthen each of you and in turn to bless those you meet. A big hug from Canada!!

Wow! It is incredible to hear what God has been doing with you all in Peru. We have been so excited each day to "log on" to the website and see what you have been up to. We continue to pray for your safety and that God would build deeply into each one of you and those you serve, in Jesus name. P.S. A HUGE thank you to Ray for keeping up with pictures and videos. We REALLY appreciate it!
