At slightly over 10,000 feet above sea level, breathing is a little troublesome - but the view is absolutely breathtaking.

Spectacular scenery and challenging peaks around Huaraz make it a popular destination for tourists and mountain climbers. A guide to mountain climbing in Peru - Andean Travel Web

Huaraz was the scene of great tragedy on May 31, 1970, when a devastating earthquake struck Peru - with Huaraz at its epicenter. Huaraz was destroyed.

Close by, the city of Yungay (pop. 21,000) was completely buried when Mt. Huascarán split; millions of tons of rock and snow fell into a glacial lake, causing a huge mudslide that obliterated the city. Only 300 people survived; many of them still suffer from the memories today. http://elcomercio.pe/peru/ancash/yungay-sobrevive-aun-al-terremoto-y-alud-hace-45-anos-noticia-1814594

Huaraz has so much beauty, so much history, so much to offer. But there is one thing it has never been offered...
Salvation.
Huaraz has no church of the living God. It has, to this missionary's knowledge, never had a congregation of Christian, Apostolic Saints of the most high God.
124,000 people...on their way to Hell.
And that is the biggest tragedy of all.
PS A door may be opening in Huaraz...please help us pray for this needy city. I desire to travel there in the near future; who knows what God will do?
