I Just Wanted to Play Some Soccer.

It was already 7:45 and Juan Carlos was 15 minutes late. The court was reservered for 8:00. If I waited any longer I would miss out on soccer time completely. Sure, the whole point of soccer is to build relationships, but last Monday night I wasn’t thinking about that, I just wanted to play. [...]

What do Peruvians think?

The longer we’re here the more apparent it becomes that we don’t have the perfect answer to this question. In fact, I suspect it will be years before we have any real chance of speaking intelligently on this subject. However, we do have a start. We know more (much, much more) than [...]

Ephesians 3:20 & Fútbol

Ephesians 3:20-21 gives praise to God who, “by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine.” Team Lima was able to witness the power of this verse last week during Monday Night Fútbol. Earlier that Monday, during our guy prayer time, [...]

Here in Lima, Perú summer is drawing closer, the weather is [...]

The Fletchers are Here!

Well… As you can already tell by the title of this post, I have some fantastic news to share.  Late on Tuesday night when the Fletchers landed in Lima our team was finally together again and finally all together here in Lima!

This is the whole team in all of our glory.  We are so happy [...]

The Body of Christ

As a team, we consider ourselves extremely blessed, in particular, when it comes to our supporting congregations. While we all presently have our supporting churches, this wasn’t always the case. Something that many missionaries don’t receive before stepping foot on the mission field is support from a congregation- both financial and spiritual support. Our experience, [...]

Back In Action and Bad Stuff Free

You may have noticed that for the last several days we’ve been having a little trouble around here at twentyeight19.org.  So… some really mean and bad person hacked the site and put some hidden things on the site that the all seeing eye of google found.  So, you might have gotten a warning about “badware” [...]
