Diocesan Update - July 23, 2010

An update from the Albany mission trip to Lima, Peru.

 One of the key objectives of a good mission trip is to spread the love of Christ. The pictures that I am including show some of the interaction of the mission group with the people among whom we are working. If you are able to, pick a person in a photo, and pray a prayer of Christ's love for that person, whether you choose one of the people in the mission group or one of the people from the Lima area. [Go to the Diocese Website: www.albanyepiscopaldiocese.org to see the photos.]

 Before we began work today, one of the recent graduates from the seminary gave a briefing on the recent history of the mission, and it was so powerful a testimony that it may been one of the reasons that our bus driver and his assistant decided to help us with the sanding and painting.  

 Back at the convent tonight, one of the people there saw one of the photos that I took and thought that the work of the mission team today was a very good project.

 Tomorrow, we go to another project.
