This is a big tradition in the Latin community that resembles a wedding. Many families save for years so they can have a nice 15th birthday party for their daughter. We praise the Lord that this family in our church were good stewards but still had a beautiful time for her. The worldly version can be quite a party but our church made sure it was God-honoring.

4 yrs of seeing many come to know the Lord and watching them grow. God has blessed this work tremendously. During the Anniversary Svcs this year we saw 7 saved!!!

Not to be left out, we took the younger teens to a mountain zoo in a co-op farming area. We had a great time with these guys.

A trip to the "rock forest" with the college-age youth of our church. A great time of bonding and fellowship.

We were surprised by an unannounced visit from Peruvian President Alan Garcia to the newly opened government building in our small town. I was at the old government building next door when he arrived. I quickly called Carla and asked her to bring our camera. I got these pictures of him leaving after his brief meeting with government officials.
