It has been ten years
since we started the Christmas trips to remote mountain villages. Chuck and Juan began going
to Juan’s village, high in the Andes Mountains above the tree line, where Juan
and Amelia grew up and still have family. These trips have to be made on quads
because the road ends before arriving to their village; from there it is an hour by a mountain trail to reach the final destination, a small community where life is hard and the people are precious.
We
also give gifts and food each Christmas in our village where we live and over the mountain
behind our house.
Our city church caught the vision; every Christmas they go to remote areas of the mountains that can be reached by bus or 4-wheel drive, taking many from the church to minister. We do medical work, dental work, and veterinary work and even delivered a baby last year.

Above all we take the Good
News to those who still haven’t heard the Gospel message. Each year God provides to
do more ministry at Christmas; many have been blessed and now know the
Lord. We are privileged to have a part in building God's Kingdom with our
churches, friends and supporters.
Look for my children's story in my next blog about a child's life in the mountains and how he met Jesus.
