Hello friends, relatives, and perfect strangers -
As you know at the end of August I will be headed to spend a year living simply and accompanying the people of Peru.
I must admit to being rather excited.
The challenges will be great, I will be along way from home, but the insight gained, the experience of doing mission in partnership, the chance to be a part of the connectional nature of the Presbyterian Church, and the patience of continuing to learn how to BE moreso than DO while I build relationships with my neighbors in Peru will be worth the sacrifice.
If this sounds really great to you perhaps you are wondering how you can help me.
I have learned over my short lifetime that there are various kinds of people needed to do mission work whether it is on the local, national, or international level.
Those are first the people who go, then there are the communities who send, next are those who pray for the one's who have been sent, and finally there are those who do not feel compelled to go or simply are unable, but they want to offer their financial support.
I would be honored to have you pray for me while I am in Peru. Please pray for my safety, the people of Peru who will accept me into their homes, churches, and hearts, and for my family and those who will miss me (and I them) while I am gone.
Finally, if you would like to make a contribution to help me reach my fundraising goal of $9,000 please click on the link below and find my name listed under Peru. http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/yav/support-yavs/
Your contribution, no matter how big or how small will go to help with airline travel, visas, and a small stipend for food and travel while I am living in Peru.
**As always your contributions are tax deductible**
If the US Postal service is more your style send a check to -
