Sipe Sipe and the Incas-Day 4

Hey friends,
Monday we were blessed with the Haagenson family. We were rather hard on them as we ran from the airport to the guest house and only gave them time to brush their teeth before we loaded back into the truck...and I mean loaded. Sixteen of us in an extended jeep Toyota Land Cruiser proved too much for one of our tires and we blew ten feet from where I wanted to park anyways. We serve an awesome God!

A "Bread Run" in the impoverished village of Sipe Sipe means handing out hundreds of pieces of bread and fruit to the children and often parents in the poor village. We were able to draw a small crowd in the market as we sang of our love for Jesus. At the same time a pagan festival was in full swing a few blocks away with elaberate costumes and although it was morning many men were already drunk on the cheap corn wiskey called Chicha. Our small crowd heard Thomas tesimony as told by Deb in full costume and character. The salvation bracelets were handed out afterwards.

Back in (and on top of) the truck for the hour ride up the mountain to visit the Inca ruins called Inkaraki. It was a lovely time of fellowship and picnic sharing the beautiful view of God's handy work in the Andes Mountains.
