Chiclayo and Empanadas

Well well well, Chiclayo it is.
We´ve been here for 4 days now, and still no sign of llamas. New believers are on the rise however!
Our sheep have been doing an incredible job sharing their faith and the gospel. Even though most of them have never been on a trip like this, they have all stepped up to the plate and are very eager to speak or do ministry or serve in whatever capacity they can. MOMs and POPs are straight up phenom. They jump at the opportunity to lead and serve. The other night we had to have the CCs sit down with them and basically tell them to take it back a notch because they were taking our jobs. Ha! Of course they were all relieved because they said they had no idea how they were going to keep doing as much as they had been. Which is good. I wanna keep being a TD.
Yesterday we saw one of the coolest experiences so far. After doing the drama, our sheep went out and began to talk to a relatively small crowd; so, most of the people were ministered to fairly quickly. But one of our students felt drawn to a young boy that had come up after the drama. She led her group over there, began talking to him, and found out he had never even heard of Jesus. So of course she poured her heart out and shared the gospel with him and he prayed and asked Christ into his heart. How beautiful is that? And what a fresh reminder. We live in such a dark world and the enemy does everything in his power to silence the name of our savior. We must continually pour out Jesus to everyone we have the opportunity to come into contact with. And that´s what every contact is - an opportunity. We never know if we could be the first person to ever show Jesus to someone.
Yes. That´s him.
And today we had empanadas for lunch. theres the connection to the title. (this funny part was from me - kristin. the rest of this was from hughey (jordan)).

I'm still waiting to hear a report of a sighting of giraffes in Peru.

I'm still lifting the team up much and often.

I'm still blessed to pray for KristIN, Hughey (Jordan), and all,


with tender love

Jordan Hughey and Kristin Dutt


We are spending the summer in Peru with 19 fantastic students from all over the US! We will use a drama that stories the Bible from creation and the fall to Christ's victory over sin. The students will learn to share the gospel one-on-one with the Peruvians after the drama. Hughey and I are responsible for the team on a day to day basis - safety, basic discipleship and fun! We will have a bagillion crazy things to share. So. Stay tuned.
