Every year here in Cochabamba we have a very large festival for the Virgin of Urkupiña. This is one of the representations of the Virgin Mary that is worshipped here and more than 300 thousand people attend each year. Part of the festival is a pilgrimage where thousands of people walk from the city out to the town where the Virgin is. It is almost 10 miles that they walk and takes about 5 or 6 hours total. Each year for the last three years as a church we have set up tables along the road and served hot chocolate and coffee, for free, while giving out gospel tracts. The video that I posted below is from the first year that we had the activity and since then we have been able to do much more. For example in the video it says we handed out 400 cups to the people but this year we actually handed out around 1200 cups of hot chocolate and coffee and around 8000 tracts. The amazing thing is that everything was gone in about 30 to 45 minutes. We actually had to buy more cups because by the end there was still more coffee left but the cups had all been used up. We also had close to 30 from the church helping serve the coffee and also handing out tracts. At one point the line of people waiting to get coffee crossed the entire road blocking the people that were walking. This no doubt brought much attention to what we were doing. While we may never know the results this side of heaven we know that many people had the opportunity to hear the gospel this night, many perhaps for the first time.
