Therapy Room Inauguration - Shalom

On Saturday 26th August the disabled group Shalom celebrated the opening of the new therapy centre where many of the disabled children will receive regular therapy during the coming weeks. Mothers and volunteers helped to get the centre ready, painting and decorating and equipment was purchased, mats, therapy ball, carpet etc..

There was a brief programme of welcome, presentations and a biblical reflection from Ephesians 3 which was held in a nearby buiding kindly lent by the owners, then a group went over for the opening ceremony with prayers and blessing for this ministry.

There was then a time of sharing the variety of food contributed by the mothers and other invited guests. It was a also incredible that Beatrice Magowan, a retired nurse from the Uk who 5 years ago got the churches interested in ministry amongst the disabled, was present having arrived in Peru just the day before. We were also able to combine a birthday celebration for Beatrice and the centre's inauguration and all enjoyed a slice of cream and peach cake.

The therapy sessions are each Tuesday and Thursday afternnons with Ruth a Christian psyiotherapist and Frania from El nazareno church, also trained in this area. Please pray for them and other initiatives hoped to be developed with this ministry.
