The Georges in Peru

Take off time for Summer VBS

Next week is Vacation Bible School week here at the La Punta Baptist Church and we are expecting about 30 kids to come. What does this mean for a small church plant in Peru? It means the pastor and missionaries pull out the stops on their artistic abilities, roll up their sleeves and…

Quite the Quiet House now!

Church Anniversary

The first weekend of September our church exploded with people, jumping from the usual 20 to around 70 in attendence. Why? The church anniversary. Church anniversaries are an integral part of churches here in Peru and usually pretty big celebrations with visitors from other…

The Misty Mystery

This week it misted for 2 nights and a day! You might not think this such a big deal, but the ladies that meet weekly at our house did! The meeting was canceled due to the ‘rain’ and we heard stories of people’s struggles thoughout the rest of the week. We live near the Atacama desert. Most have…

Felines and Felons

You think today's politicians are weird? My life is weird. This afternoon I was cleaning cat poop off of the flat Sunday School room roof where neighbor cats like to do their dirty business. I suspect it hasn't been cleaned in the 20 years since our house was built. One has…

Don't call us, we'll call you!

Friday, we attended Sarah's graduation from medical school in Chicago! She will be doing a residency in Emergency Medicine in Chicago starting next month. Zach is postponing graduation, doing research in pyschiatry, with the plan to start residency in psychiatry next year. …

A successful EBdV!!

What is EBdV you may ask? It is 'Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones' or 'Vacation Bible School' in English! Last Tuesday through Friday, from 3 to 6 pm each afternoon, we put on a program based on the Old West with a sheriff, outlaws, horse-shoes and branding. My prayer before the…

Why do we have to learn these scientific names?

When I was in 9th grade, we learned about birds in Mr. Brogie's science class. We also had to learn the scientific names of the common birds in Nebraska. "Why do we have to learn scientific names?" I asked. John Chace, a year older and wiser than me, responded, "Well, if you are…
