Churches in the Cusco region are all in need of bathrooms. The theme of this year’s STMT was “Spread the Fire” stemming from Luke 12:49. In a nation where drugs and dark temptations are abundant, it was important to take the Fire of God and bring it to the young children of Peru. The missionaries lit up their lives and taught them about the true light of the world, Jesus Christ. In spreading God’s fire, we will be able to reach the darkest corners of the world! The darkness has nowhere to hide anymore! www.coj.org 17
