Team Praises
Updated: 9/23/2008
- Unity - this was one of the most unified teams that Pastor Carl has led to Peru
- Worshipping (both leading and following) in Spanish was an awesome experience, showing the global nature of the Church
- Playing 'football' or soccer with the local kids on the Amazon River was an unexpected outreach experience that no one on the team will forget
- Being a part of the Strong Tower Church's local outreach kickoff was stretching to the entire team and rewarding at the same time
- Seeing the OANSA program also showed the global nature of children and children's ministry. We were able to jump right in and participate even though we didn't know the language!
- The 2007 visit to Freire found the locals, especially the leaders, not receptive to the Gospel but during this trip the entire village accepted Christ as Savior! A representative of the Remanente Church was with us and will be able to provide on-going spiritual support!
- The teenagers and all of the new missionaries were bold and broke out of their shells, sharing the Gospel and making friends while in Peru
