Love Extreme 2010


4 of the people that were baptized
Wow can anyone say amen!!!!! God is awesome. Around 10,000 people came to the mega event and thousands excepted Christ into there hearts. As of the following week after we followed up with everyone, and still doing it. The people we have visited we have extended the invitation to them to come on a spiritual retreat. About 26 people came on this last one and 4 were baptized and everyone decided to be trained to be a disciple. When we brought them back from the retreat there was a celebration and 10 more people were saved then, and we took there info to follow up with them. Gods awesome.!! But in Cusco We had a kids festival one day at a kids home. It went great. So after Calin Asked the group if they wanted to go back to the hotel and rest or go help the other group in the plaza and pass out hot chocolate and info about the new church. And by my surprise they all said "we can get anuf rest in the states we came here to work lets go". So we went, And they were not there yet. Some I gathered the 25 short termers up and we prayed over the land. After ward I had a crazy idea. Lets have a kids festival here because we had the stuff with us and well why not? So we did pretty much eventually got about a hundred people there. We had face paints going, duck duck goose, balloons and puppets also mean wail telling everyone that theres going to be Hot chocolate. Well alot of time go's by and still no hot chocolate, so i had to tell everyone that they could not get the 35 gallons of hot chocolate out there. So we left, but during dinner that night got a call that they made it and served over 500 cups of coffee. It was incredible.

So sorry every one its been a while, but here i am. So far most of everyone on the team are going through culture shock.. But God has kept me strong, but iv been realizing more and more that its the weak that he called. For when I'm weak He is strong. We need to cry out to him everyday and not be pride full. I really don't think culture shock will hit me. I think that's just how Gods formed me over my life so far. Like every time something happens God just lets it roll off my mind like it never happened. God is good AMEN? But i think its for a reason.? I'm not to shure what it is yet? But i will. Please pray for the team, because some of them are just struggling and not feeling close to God. But the thing that they need to understand is that its not about the feeling. Its about knowing Gods already there. You know? I mean its like a video we all just watched, The man told a story about him walking home with his baby boy. But then it started to rain, and his boy started to whimper. Then it started to poor down like when one drop feels like a thousand. At that point a baby boy was SCREAMING and shrieking in terror. At that point the dad pulled his child close to his chest with a blanket raped around him and whispered in his ear and saying "daddy's got you, I love you buddy" over and over. But the baby could not see past the rain past the storm. So even tho we don't fee close, Our Lord is holding us in his righteous all power full hands. Telling us "daddy's got you, I love you buddy" over and over. THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
