Trujillo- Land of Eternal Spring

Time has gone by all to quickly and here I am trying to play catch up. Forgive me for not keeping you all better informed. September found the group and I in Trujillo, a city about eight hours north of Lima, for ten days. While there, we stayed in the dorms of the Baptist Seminary. We were able to attend classes each day which proved to be a stretching experience since it was all in Spanish. We were able to get to know the students there and be encouraged by their testimonies. Having only two programs to study, theology and music, many of the students were studying to be able to go back to their peple to be better prepared to minister. It was a wonderful, encouraging time that refreshed us all and motivated us to take the spirit from the seminary to our churches to encourage the young people to delight in our great God. In talkign with poeple at the seminary or at the churches we visited in Trujillo, the people demonstrated the joy of the Lord and were ready to talk about Him whenever there was a chance. I remember specifically one young man working at the camp who always had some example or illustration from the Bible that applied to our topics of conversation. I thank God for the time at the seminary where I was rejuvenated with a desire to take the joy of the Lord to the people at my church in Lima.
