Today we went for a walk. It was the “Caminata por la Paz” (Walk for Peace). It started at Parque San Blas and went through downtown Cuenca and ended at Parque de La Madre (Park of the Mother).



We were carrying a banner with a quote from Matthew 5:9 (NIV) - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.



It took us about two hours. Some of it slow, waiting for traffic to pass, or fast, trying to catch up after the traffic had passed. There were a couple of thousand people in the walk.



We took a number of pictures, but people all along the route were taking pictures of all the attendees as well. Those of us from Calvary Chapel were singing worship songs and we even had some cheering us on as we walked.



At Parque de La Madre there were a couple of different praise teams performing and the crowd was very large.
