Departure for Peru this Thursday

The team will depart for Peru this Thursday, June 17 and return on Monday, June 28, and they appreciate your prayers while they are gone.

The Peruvian culture struggles with poverty, abuse within families, drug problems, high unemployment, loneliness and other problems you would see in developing nations. Pray for the team to have God's love for the people as they present the Gospel message through interpreters, and that the people would understand what Jesus has done for them and receive God's love and hope for their lives. Pray also for the team's safety, strength and boldness as they serve with God's love.

The team will be in a different part of Lima, Peru where they have never been before, serving through local churches there. They will be having 3 simultaneous marriage conferences,  2 simultaneous women's conferences,  a 2 night youth conference, simultaneous volleyball clinics and soccer clinics, helping with a medical clinic, preaching in area churches, visits to orphanages, work on construction projects, plus performing the Toy Maker drama with the Gospel message on the streets daily.

Check here for frequent updates from the team over the next few weeks.
