Kevin Nikerle is a very active members in a very active church, Valley Forge Baptist Temple. He recently came to Peru with his church's mission team. Kevin has such a servant heart that immediately after the trip, he wanted to come back to get more done on the caretaker house at the radio plant. So he took his Thanksgiving holidays to come to work free in Peru! He also brought Luis, another man from his church, to be his interpreter.
Here Kevin (left) and Luis (right) enjoyed a couple of hours at a beautiful spot in Lima that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
While they were here they worked fast and really made progress on the closets. This is what they look like now!
This picture does not do them justice. Jorge, our caretaker, is overjoyed.
They also made some desperately needed shelves for storage. This is what Kevin is working on in this picture.
Luis was a great help. I was amazed at how much they got done.
The men are filling the shelves with our tools and supplies. I can't tell you how happy I was to have these shelves.
Wildredo is a friend of many who have come to Peru over the years. Kevin was glad to see him again.
Long time friends get together again. Years ago, Kevin gave Wilfredo the shirt he is wearing. On the day this picture was taken, they both showed up for work with shirts from Boyertown, PA.
One of the best things about missions trips is the friendships you make. The two men in the picture above have a special place in my heart.
