Bradley Warkentine, 2011-2012 Tipp City Rotary Club President, and Gene Luther, a Tipp City resident and retired engineer, shared about a Work and Witness Program they participated in Peru in 2010 with the Tipp City Rotarians at their September 14 meeting. They were part of a team of sixteen members from the Tipp City Church of the Nazarene which built two parsonages on the outskirts of Iquitos, Peru. The parsonages were built in very poor neighborhoods. Iquitos is a city of 400,000 located in the middle of the Amazon. The city is only accessible by water or plane. They also shared about a side trip the team took to Machu Picchu, the famed Inca city located at the top of the Andes mountains. Pictured left is Bradley Warkentine, Gene Luther, and the spider was brought back from Peru as a memento.
