We moved to the campsite in Ite (this will be our base for the remainder of our time in Peru) on Sunday 27th, meeting up with our fellow Peruvian Mision Rescaté team members: Maria Del Karmen, Diana and Raúl. (Enrique who is an Argentinean will be joining us on 16th January). We were introduced to the church in Ite on Sunday 3rd where we received our team tracksuits.

Over the past 2 weeks we had various classes (in Spanish) on homiletics, oratory, leadership, Baptist principles, children’s ministry and evangelism. Each of us had to prepare and deliver a 15 minute sermon (again, in Spanish!!). It’s been great to learn from the various Pastors and locals who work with the mission.

The 9th January sees the beginning of summer camps in the campsite. We will have 2 youth camps followed by a family camp which will bring us up until the end of January. During any free time (which isn’t much) we have been trying to squeeze in some preparation for the 3 camps. This included designing and building an obstacle course around the entire camp centre, weeding, painting a house among other jobs!
