Its Been A Ride!!!

I am sitting at the Lima Airport with emotions bubbling over! It has been a roller coaster time here in Peru, one filled with many high peaks and low, low valleys. But, I guess what really matters is that Hannah’s Home is under construction – not the fact that I am going to horribly miss our new “home” or the new relationships we’ve formed or the many children and their smiles! Because if I’ve learned anything on this trip, it’s that obedience to Him is far, far, far greater than accomplishing any goal. This is not about partnerships formed with neighbors on both continents, its about the impact Hannah’s Home has already had on the Chilca community. We’ve been welcomed with open arms and loved as one of Peru’s own. We’ve had workers sent from Pastor Moises and Shalom church and children who stopped by, spent the day and loved on us. John David, one of the boys who spent 3 years at Hogar de Ninos, came by to ask if one of his friends could work for us. When we agreed, it was both who showed up for work the next day! John David just wanted to be part of what was going on! That’s the kind of reward we get when we’re part of His plan! It has been hammered home to us (me) from that Sunday at Marco’s church, that its not our agenda, but its His that counts.

Thank you all for your love, support and prayers over the last few weeks. You have once again been God’s tools by affirming to me that God is truly the one in control at ChildReach Ministries.

They are calling my flight, good night.
