STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO: Picture Praise, 07/25/11 I captured this picture of my son and a friend one afternoon as we picnicked at a scenic lookout over our mountain city. The giant cross is visible from nearly every neighborhood in the town below, backlit by the early sunrise, and reflecting the last rays of daylight as the sun sets over the mountains on the other side of the valley. Frequently as an afternoon rain shower ends, a double rainbow appears to spring up from the cross into the blue sky above. I can see this cross right now as I gaze out the window of my home office, and it stands as a daily reminder of what should be the top priority not only in our work as Scripture promoters among the Quechua people, but also in my personal life: to set the Lord always before me.

I love this picture. I just was setting it as my background on my computer when I realized it was taken in Peru!! We just arrived in Peru about 2 1/2 weeks ago for a two year ministry assignment.
Hi, friend, welcome to Peru! We live in Huaraz - where are you guys?
