A group of students from Bob Jones University is visiting the seminary at Urubamba.  On Monday, June 18,  the group and I got to visit the ancient Inca ruins of  Machu Picchu (Some Pictures). It was quite an experience.  It is supposedly the 8th wonder of the world.  During the visit, I was able to witness to a German tourist all the way up one side.  Communism is not dead.  He had definitely been brainwashed with Communist dogma.  It was sad but I pray he finds Jesus;  God used me to make him think.  

My classes in elementary education at PCC are paying off.  While in Cuzco, I have been helping in the home school tasks of the Tuttle's eight year old - Josiah.    School is going well for him.  He is really bright and it is hard to challenge him to give 100%.   We're working on it and God is blessing.  I have also been helping in the children's classes at church.

   From June 6th to June 10th,  we went with the BJU group to the Jungle and help with a city wide jovenes crusade (Cola war) that saw about 120 respond to the gospel.  God is working!  We went to a house church in Quillabama and there in open air and lantern light, I knew that this is where God wants me.  I can't say for sure when, where, how, with whom, etc, but based on God's current leading I'll probably end up back in Peru sometime.  I already can tell that these 3 months will not be long enough.  God is protecting and providing.  I am thankful that surrounded by mountains I can lift up my eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help.  He preserves my going out and my coming in.  He proved this on a hike we took in the mountains.  We practically got lost and ended up coming back 2 hours late from a different way, but he led us out.  I am thankful that I have a hope to share with the hopeless here in Peru.  God bless you.  Keep in touch.

Spreading the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ,
