This trip was short but we were extremely busy. We safely returned on February 10th, 2009. These were our activities while in Lima and Barranca :
* we preached the Word 6 times in 5 churches in Surco-Lima, Tablada de Lurin-Lima, Barranca
and Puente Bolivar
* we assessed housing needs of single moms in both Puente Bolivar and Tablada de Lurin. We
selected 15 housing units to be either replaced or renovated during our next visit in April.
* we taught a new 10 hour seminar "Pastoral Counselling - Level One" in CHAKAM's campus in
Surco-Lima (see www.worldoutreach.ca)
* we had a number of intensive planning meeting regarding potential international development
projects in Tablada de Lurin.
* we made arrangements to have anti-parasitic medication distributed in a community in the
Peruvian jungle.
We praise the Lord for allowing us to be involved in the missions field.
We are returning to Peru on April 13th, 2009. Anyone wanting to join us is welcome to call us at 306-922-0100 or e-mail us at campus@inet2000.com.
In His Love,
Pastors John and Hannelore Fryters

ARRIVED
We arrived late Friday. On Saturday morning we left for Barranca. Yesterday and today, we have been assessing the social housing needs in the community of Las Palmeras-Puente Bolivar. We are experiencing some different emotions visiting these precious people in their homes. We don´t realize in Canada ¨how good we have it¨.
We were able to identify about 15 homes to renovate or replace. We will have a final meeting tomorrow to decide how many we are able to help. Many are single moms with 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... kids.
Hannelore bought 50 chairs for the church in Puente Bolivar. We also bought some chairs for the single moms whose houses we replaced last time we were here.
All of us are doing fine. We forget our e'mail addresses...so we are relying on this blogspot to inform all of our friends and family. So, if you visit, please leave your e'mail address or e'mail us.
I preached last night in the church in Barranca. The response at the altar was enormous. Pastor Pedro has been with us for two full days.
Talk to you later.
