Arica, Chile

Hey everyone, this was our first week in Chile and it went really well. The church here recieved us with amazing hospitality and the youth and we really bonded with the youth. The connection with the youth was so good. They are all in the university and are about our ages. They said if we ever come bak that to remeber that we have friends here. As far as the outreach goes, it was a little tougher than in Peru. The town we are staying in is Arica, Chile. It has world famous surfing here and is a lot more modern then most of the towns in Peru. The people just did not want to listen to what we had to say in general, but some people still came to God. The pastor here is very optomistic and has great faith that the church will grow through the work we have done. Keep praying for our safety in travel, this afternoon we have a twenty-eight hour bus ride to Los Andes, it is going to be a lot colder there. Also, since the people are not so open her, pray that God will prepare their hearts to hear the good news we bring. Thank you for everything. Love Christopher
