SMU RUF visits RUF Peru & the Mission

This week we are honored to have the RUF group from SMU led by their campus minister, Chad Scruggs. Eighteen SMU Mustangs have made their way here to work alongside us in the work of the mission. Particularly, they are helping us in the construction project in our Larco church, our university ministry, and in our language school.

Here's a pic of Chad with some of our kids.
Today, we headed out to the National University to have our first of two conversation clubs. This is part of our continuing effort to serve the university and build good relationships there. In the past, we have sponsored lectures from university professors from the states in the Physics Department and in the Economics Department. This week we are working with the Language Department.


The idea is to provide English conversation clubs so that Peruvian students can practice their English (a much desired skill), but also so that they can get to know American university students and what it is like be university students in the states, and vice versa. We are also using this as an opportunity to invite students out to a special RUF meeting on Wednesday night where Chad Scruggs will preach and we'll hear testimonies from both Peruvian and American students.

Here are some photos of the events of the day.











This last picture is a pic of Dr. Temoche and me. He is the head of the department and was very excited to work with us and to receive us. He took pictures and even video with his cell phone! We were warmly received in more ways than one. The university students were very excited to get to practice their English and make friends, but our room was also 90+ degrees as well. Day Two tomorrow.

Please pray for the relationships that we are building both with the university students and the National University, that doors for the Gospel would be opened and remain open into the future. Pray especially for our meeting Wednesday night.
