Devotions & Reflections

Each evening on our recent Peru trip we had a devotion and a time for reflection. The devotion was a quiet time to listen, be still, think and pray.
During Reflections, we had time to speak about the day or the day's events. It was a time of questions, sharing of thoughts and ideas. Below are some of the challenges and thoughts that we expressed:

  • How could we get Sharon Presbyterian involved and excited?
  • How can we express to the members of Sharon how it feels to travel to another part of the world?
  • How can we share what we have seen?
  • How can we help our members understand the hardships, struggles and poverty of other countries?
  • How can we express the love and God's spirit that we have seen and received?
  • We feel that it is important to return to Peru. How can we explain why?
  • In the future, members from Huanta and Charlotte working together at another church that is in need.
  • Sharing of prayer requests.
  • Invite Huanta members to be missionaries to Sharon Presbyterian.
  • Pray for those that made, gave and received the prayer shawls.
  • The ability to view this blog in Spanish.
It will be our challenge to address the above ideas in the coming months.
