US Trip Summary

Wow. We returned for our US trip one month ago. It has been a full time getting settled back in Lima and hosting visitors.

Nancy and Kathleen left Peru but their impact continues

It was an amazing trip to have Nancy and Kathleen here. They were here for a short five days, but made an amazing impact. It was a three evening conference with over 500 Sunday school teachers and pastors who came out. It was the first conference of its kind that focused on Worship and Prayer for children. Saturday was a children's Praise and Worship event that filled the 2000 capacity church.

Nancy taught two workshops each evening and then spent the final hour with a group of 25 children who lead the children in three worship songs on Saturday.




Kathleen captured the hearts of the entire conference and teaching 4 workshops and 2 Main sessions. Her heart and passion came through as she challenged the Sunday School teachers to rethink the meaning of worship.



Irma Chon also came from the US to teach at workshops and one main session on children in Prayer. Her passion for prayer challenged to teachers to understand that the prayer of a child in just as powerful as a prayer of an adult. Challenging Peru to start a prayer movement.

Heather and John were also able to share about the ministry and recieved many interested people. We look forward to the followup to see the doors that have opened as we move forward here in Peru. The response is always that same, the people are excited to see how EGM will train and develop Sunday School teachers in their region.

Finally we are blessed for the prayers that surrounded Nancy, Kathleen and Irma as they traveled and taught. We are blessed for God's provision in protection, health and comfort for the conference and surrounding events.
