Serving the Lord on the foreign field gives a missionary many awesome opportunities. One such opportunity is to see the world. This past weekend, we had the opportunity to visit the city of Cusco and Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is a site of Incan indian ruins. It is also known as the "Lost City of the Incans."The Incan city was constructed 1450. It is believed that the Spaniards never discovered the Incan city. Some believe that most of the inhabitants died of smallpox and those that survived left the city in 1572.
The ruins were known to locals but was not brought to the world's attention until discovered in 1911 by an American historian.
The city is nestled 7,970 feet above sea level in the Andes mountains. It is a beautiful site.
Knowing that the God who created these massive mountains wants to fellowship with us is such a humbling thought. What is sad is to see the people sitting on the side of these mountains worshipping creation rather than the creator.
