|Our meeting in the Alto Libertad neighborhood of Arequipa started in the living-room of the Herrera family. Their house is dug into the hillside, so that their roof is at about the same level as the patio of their next door neighbor.
I would visit them on Sunday afternoons where we would minister to 15 to 20 believers. As we were in prayer one Sunday afternoon, we heard a tremendous crash in the next room.
Upon investigation, we found that the neighbor’s milk cow had stepped onto the tin roof of the Herrera’s kitchen, landing on the stove, and kicking through all of the pans trying to recover her footing. Things like this are not particularly conducive to worship, but it is good that the family was in the meeting and not in the kitchen.
