What a joy for all four Williamsons and a group of friends from Rayleigh baptist church to visit El Puente. We spent 2 weeks in Cusco and joined in classes in the school and the  church childrens' activities, also in preaching and music ministry. We were there for the day of Peru so joined in the celebrations and the highlight of our visit was being there for the church anniversary to celebrate 8 years of Iglesia El Puente. It was great to reconnect with our Peruvian church family and for our UK church family to understand how much we love Cusco and to experience Peru for themselves!

Good to see Goya and some llamas too!

November 2016 Colegio los patriotas

The school is going from strength to strength, they have their challenges and ups and downs but they continue to show God's love and to provide high quality education for the community . Every year they are adding another school year as the children graduate to another year and it wonderful to hear stories of parenting classes and special school celebrations being held at El Puente

Mothers' day is a big celebration in Peru. In this photo from May 2016  the church is celebrating and giving thanks for the mothers in the church and also for those who have been like a mother figure or a spiritual mother .
