Peru, fifteen hundred miles along the Pacific coast desert. 

Loja

November 13, 2016

Loja holds a special place in my heart, where I met many wonderful people and was privileged to see God move in a place that had been historically closed to the gospel.

Ecuador

November 12, 2016

What a thrill for me to ride in to Ecuador, a country where Laurel and I spent five great years and where our two youngest sons, Daniel and David, were born. It's been my dream to ride these highways on my motorcycle.

After a 41 year absence, it has been wonderful to see familiar places and others than aren't even recognizable.

Don and Terri Triplett's Tent Church

October 30, 2016

I also was invited to speak at the Triplett's tent church near the capital city of San Salvador. They continue in a tent because they have not been able to get building permits. 

Castillo del Rey

October 30, 2016

The Castillo del Rey International Training Center is impacting nations with the gospel as young people are trained to work with children and youth in evangelism and discipleship. The Center is located on a beautiful mountain lake in El Salvador. I had the privilege of sharing in two services, praying for the young people at an altar time as well as receiving prayer for the remainder of my adventure.
