Yesterday we had no room for error ... something I do everything I can to avoid on these trips.
We arrived in Atlanta with 15 minutes to catch the flight to Lima. They were announcing that the doors were closing as we arrived at the gate. No room for error!
Phillip flew to Newark to catch his flight. He was on standby with 8 people in front of him. He sent us a text saying he was not going to make it. Next thing he knew someone ran up the jet bridge and announced that there was one more spot. The gate agent grabbed him and told him to go. They opened the door to the plane and let him on. No room for error!
On the flip side the flight from Atlanta to Lima was overbooked. 6 out of the 8 on our team were bumped to first class. A lot of room to spread out!
When we arrived in Lima Phillip was waiting on us in customs. His phone was not working. He was playing out scenarios of what he would do if we did not make our flight. No phone. No Spanish. No room for error!
God got all of us to Lima and through customs without any problems. With no room for error, only God could get us to Peru. This experience was one more reminder that the God of the universe does not need to make room for error. If he wants it to happen, it will and it did!
Got to the hotel in Miraflores about 1 AM and in bed by 2 AM.
This morning we head to Nuevo Pachacutec. We have an eye glass clinic scheduled at the church. The team is up and ready to go.
Pray for us as we minister to the residents of this slum. You know how to pray: check out the Prayer Guide that was in the Worship Guide.
We'll post pictures tonight.
