How You Can Help Take the Gospel to Peru

This week, I just want to let you know about an exciting opportunity coming up for me, and I wanted to let you know how you can help me as I seek to do my part in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

On July 30, I will be departing with a team from my church to Peru for a nine-day mission trip. We will be going to the Andes Mountains, to the city of Huaraz, where we will be assisting Larry Rockwell and his family as they work with the Quechua tribe, a people who have heard very little of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Quechua tribe in 2008 just had the New Testament translated into their language. We will be doing some work with the villagers and will also be serving the Rockwell’s in additional ways they might need us. We will return on August 7.

Without your support (both through prayers and through giving), none of this will be possible.

You can support us by praying for us while we are gone. Some things that our team is asking your prayers for:

• Cohesiveness of the team – that we would all be in unity and work together well.
• A vision and heart for missions, especially for the people we will be serving.
• Transformed hearts the Quechua villages where we will be serving.
• Fund raising – that God would provide everything that we need as we plan to go.

Our trip is being funded by donations and by those who are going on the trip. We will be carrying all of the supplies needed for our time there. The estimated cost is around $2000, and I could use your help in raising this amount by July 22.
