From lunch we had a meeting that we had to be at that was held in the fort at Callao. It was more or less a college and students were there along with other adults. Mr. Gothard was to give the presentation for the enitre meeting. He gave another chalk talk durning it along with testimonies from the staff to reenforce his message of the Seven Basic Needs. It was incredible to look out on the people and see them openly accept the message that was being presented. God was glorified in the building and was strong in our midst. We quickly had to leave the meeting and go to Congress for a Prayer service that they hold in the building. It was amazing to walk into the room and be filled with wonder as you looked around. Members of the Congress that are Christians actually meet together with family and friends for a service of worship and prayer! We sang songs in Spanish and listened as speakers shared and prayed. Mr. Gothard was able to speak as well. I remember closing my eyes and listening to it all. I can't begin to tell you the sounds I heard, but I do know that Jesus was present with us. From the Congress we had to leave right away for the next engagement was waiting for us. Dinner was going to be held in one of the casinos near the shoreline. It was evening by the time we actually arrived at the dinner place. It was already late by the time we arrived and so we knew that we were in for a long drawn out dinner.
Again, more food than you could ever even imagine! It was a beautiful view of the city and coast from high above where we sat. The sounds you heard were priceless...the voices blended of Spanish and English, the clanking of glasses, the bursts of laughter.If you just close your eyes, you don't have to even have them open to see-all you needed was to hear and listen to it all around you. We lost track of time and it was then time to leave. The time being a bit after midnight. Arrival at the hotel didn't happen till about 1am.
