Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad and Happy New year!  We celebrated Peru with the other YWAM missionaries here yesterday (Caters, for those of you who know them).  Thank you so much for all your support and prayers, you are such a blessing in my life.  The mission here wouldn't be possible without all of you.  We went to a Christmas Eve service at a local Peruvian church and enjoyed the traditional fruit cake and hot chocolate here.  On the night of Christmas Eve, we were able to hand out around 25 blankets, 200 sandwiches and 200 juice boxes to homeless people in Cusco.  We were able to make contact and see people we've talked to previously and they were overjoyed to get blankets and food on Christmas.

We had some great conversations with people about Jesus on the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu.  We spent 4 days with people, hiking and talking.  Some people were so open and curious about our faith and relationship with Jesus, they seemed so interested in what we were doing and what it looked like to have relationship with God.  After coming back, we managed to be involved in 4 chocolatadas.  A chocolatada is when people go out to a poor village and give them hot chocolate, bread and clothes for Christmas.  We also get the chance to tell them about God and talk with them more if they would like.

We have one more week here in Cusco before returning back to Brisbane.  We've really enjoyed our time here and God has continued to move on our behalf and on behalf of the city.  Please continue to pray for us to finish strong and end our time here well as we continue to seek God's face and everything He has for us here.
