Good Bye For Now

Our trip to Chincha was a success. Thanks be to God, we were able to get a lot accomplished on the panel home and were able to spend time with the youth of Chincha. A short term missionary team from Valdosta, Georgia, Azalea City Church of God, helped make a lot of this possible.


Through the duration of our stay, we coordinated two groups: builders and youth/children's ministry. While half of our team labored on the house all week, the remainder were busy teaching Chinchano children the art of playing baseball along with Bible stories and craft activities for the children.

Although expected, the goodbye at the end of our trip was extremely difficult. Many of the team experienced such a bonding with the people of Chincha. God brought us here to reveal that it is not about location, but about the people whom you are with that makes life enjoyable and rewarding.
