Back from Chile!

Wow! What an experience! I just got back from a two-week mission trip to Chile where I led a 6 member LifeWay team to share the Gospel with the Aymara people group throughout the Northern Region of Chile, known as Tarapaca. We spent one week in the city of Pozo Almonte where we saw 62 people place their faith in Jesus as their Savior and Lord. We then spent our second week in the Codpa Valley of Chile (at the foot of the Andes Mountains) where we saw another 24 people come to know the Lord.




Northern Chile is the driest desert in the world as it typically rains only once every 30 years. If you have ever visited the Grand Canyon, imagine driving into the canyon and finding small towns scattered wherever a stream of water could be found. Where there was water, there was life.
While in Codpa, the Aymara were celebrating their annual wine festival called "Vendimia" which gave us a greater opportunity to share the Gospel as the population of Codpa doubled for 3 days from 200 to 400 people.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for the Aymara people and for our mission trip.
