The Hike

Today will be Lance's second day in Cabanaconde. Their itinerary has scheduled a work day & school visits. I'm sure the kids will LOVE Lance, they always do!!

Tomorrow is a big day for a portion of the team. Those who feel healthy enough will be hiking from Cabanaconde to take supplies to the remote village of Llanca.


The extreme altitude change effects everyone differently, but if Lance is at all physically able, I know that he wanted to be on the hike team. They will leave very early Tuesday morning, spending the night in Llanca and then hiking back to Cabanaconde all day Wednesday. I have spoken to friends at church who have been on the hike on trips past and they say that it one of the toughest things (physically and mentally) that they have ever done. This is a picture of "Padre" a.k.a. Father Alejandro pointing to villages across the canyon. I can't tell you for certain that Llanca is one of the villages he is pointing to, but it gives you a good idea of the terrain that the team will hiking.

Please join me in praying for the mission team.

Father, I pray that your will prevails. I also pray that the team remains safe & healthy so that they can bring glory to you and your kingdom through their efforts. I ask this all in Jesus name, Amen.
