Yesterday and today we´re doing a missions trip to the city of Ica. Ica is a city that is located about 4 hours to the south of Lima. Ica is located in the coastal region but is part of the desert. It´s known for it´s agriculture and is a religious area also known for witchcraft. We have a Bible study here already and God willing, Robin and Tracy will be living here soon so that the people can be ministered to on a more constant basis. Foto: The Main Plaza of Ica.

Viaje Misionero a Ica. Missions Trip to Ica.
Yesterday and today we´re doing a missions trip to the city of Ica. Ica is a city that is located about 4 hours to the south of Lima. Ica is located in the coastal region but is part of the desert. It´s known for it´s agriculture and is a religious area also known for witchcraft. We have a Bible study here already and God willing, Robin and Tracy will be living here soon so that the people can be ministered to on a more constant basis. Foto: The Main Plaza of Ica.
Bien Uniformados. Ready with our Uniforms.
This time we decided to use some of the money we raised through the sale of chocotejas, marcianos, etc. to buy t-shirts with the church name on them. We´ve had some confusion in the past because people from some cults have gone in while we were preaching and made people think that they were part of our group. That way they have tried to trick the people. The t-shirts let the public know who we are. Modeling the t-shirts are from left to right: Jaqui, Angie and Oninxha. Jaqui is always thinking, Angie always ignores me and Oninxha always takes pictures. (just kidding).
Alistándonos. Getting Ready.
When we got to Ica we met up with Robin, Americo and Aaron. They were already there getting everything ready and participating in the Bible study the night before. We went to the hotel and after that went to eat lunch. Ms. Lucha and Rocio had lunch ready for us. We ate dry soup and carapulcra. It was delicious. Thanks so much. After lunch it was time to put some make up on, (not everone) and go to the plaza. In the pictures: Robin, the food, Ariana and Marco.
Compartiendo la Palabra. Sharing the Word.
We use various methods to share the word of God. You can see a little bit of what we do here. Sometimes we share the word in a simple way. Sometimes we use music, puppets, mimes, tracks and other things. In the pictures (en order from top): Ariana, Kristel, Marco, preparing the puppet stage, Kati, Jimmy, Carmen, Pilar and Kristel.
Los Payasos Están en Todos Lados. The Clowns Are Everywhere.
The Koinonia Clowns have been very busy the last few months. They´ve done shows in hospitals, a school, a church and now in Ica. Thanks clowns. This time the clowns that participated were Ariana, Rodrigo, Marco, Kristel and Oninxha.
Para los Niños. For the Children.
Here you can see some of the people that heard the message. The children in the bottom photo where the first to arrive. I really don´t know how many people attended the event because the people would come and go. We were there from 5:00 p.m. until after 10:00 p.m. I didn´t take a lot of pictures at night because it was a little too dark.
Los Niños Son Parte del Ministerio. The Children are Part of the Ministry.
Rodrigo shared a message teaching the children. The children (with Miguel Jorge that acted as the tree) did a sketch and in this way shared the story of Zaccheus. Lucas acted as Jesus and Sergio Andres as Zaccheus.
La Alabanza. The Worship Music.
Miguel Antonio (cajón and percussion, Ricardo (acoustic guitar) and David "El Capitán" Caplivski (electric guitar) took care of the worship music. David came from the U.S. to help out. Thanks Capitán.
Mimos y Testimonios. Mimes and Testimonies.
Americo compartió su testimonio predicó el evangelio. Pastor Jaime y Pastor Brian predicaron el evangelio también.
The mime group was very busy ministering. They did 6 mimes during the evening and when they weren´t doing mimes, they preached to the people that were there.
Americo shared his testimony and preached the gospel. Pastor Jaime and Pastor Brian preached the gospel too.
Pollo A La Brasa. Chicken Cooked Over Wood.
En las fotos: Chipi y Nicolás, Karla, Ricardo y Oninxha (con la cámera), Lucho (mirando hacia el otro lado), Sergio Andres, y Febe (de Calvary Chapel Surco).
After ministering in the Barranca plaza we went to eat chicken cooked over wood. It was already 10 o´clock and we were hungry.
In the pictures: Chipi and Nicolás, Karla, Ricardo and Oninxha (with the camera) Lucho (looking the other way), Sergio Andres and Febe (from Calvary Chapel Surco).
Algunas Fotos. Some Photos.
En las fotos: Jimmy (con la cámara en alto), Ariana, Carlos (de Ica) con Aaron, Angie, Eddy, Kati, e Pastor Jaime de Cañete.
I´m very happy with the group and what everyone did yesterday. We ministered as a team with unity. I didn´t hear one complaint. Everyone was serving the Lord with passion. Thanks Lord.
