RUF VA Tech

The day Twin Lakes left, we welcomed RUF Va Tech to Peru. It was a joy to receive this group and its RUF pastor, Andy Wood. Andy visited us on a vision trip back in 2010 and it was great to see him again as well as welcome his students and two church members from Grace Covenant Church in Blacksburg, Va. This group was able to put the finishing touches on the clinic in Parque Industrial. They not only put a sidewalk in front of the church, but also wired the clinic for electricity, installed the water pump, and hung doors on the bathroom. Thanks to the hard work of this group we look forward to having the inauguration in just a few weeks and will start seeing patients one day a week. You may read a more personal perspective on our website.

Starting to make cement. . . mixing sand and rock.

Still mixing, but with the dry cement added this time.

This team also did some electrical wiring for the building.

Added a much needed sidewalk.

Twin Lakes Peru

It has been a busy 2012 already! This year started with a focus on the children. We hosted the 4th annual Twin Lakes Peru Summer Camp. Over 150 children learned about the gospel through the story of Daniel. Each day they enjoyed traditional summer camp activities that were started with a devotional to reinforce the lessons taught each day in the general assembly time. We are so thankful to First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS and Twin Lakes as well as Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, GA and Point Pleasant Camp. These two groups worked long, hot days to bring the gospel to the children of Peru. To read more about there trips, check out this more in-depth article on our website.
