If I'm not mistaken, it's been 2 weeks since we last posted something! Sorry about that. Let me give you a quick update:
1. We had a good time down in Pisco (close to the epicenter). Alida, Rut, and Laura did about 4 children's programs (songs, games, puppets, Bible teaching) along with just playing with the kids & spending time with them, asking them how they were feeling, if they needed prayer for anything. We believe God used us to bring a smile & hope to those kids, many of whom have lost everything. While the girls were doing that, Pastor Tom & I were back and forth helping them & helping with some of the construction things going on. We know this won't be just a one time thing. In fact, Ps. Tom & some other were travelling down there today to help. Pray that God can use us to be a blessing to these people. (I've posted more photos at www.flickr.com/losbowers)
2. If you didn't know, we're here in Ohio! Sorry we didn't tell everyone, but it was a surprise for my mom & dad. My brothers were home for Labor Day, so we walked in on them & mom was pretty shocked! So we've been here a week now & we'll be here 2 more weeks visiting freinds & family & some churches. Thank God for some much needed rest. We believe God is using this time to "recharge the batteries" and we'll hit the ground running back in Peru. We hope to see you while we're here! Email us!
