The months turned to weeks, the weeks to days, and soon the day will be hours. The count down for Peru is soon coming to an end! It seems like just last week we were in Peru. Time has now come for us to head back to the people there that we had so quickly become attached to.
What am I most excited about?! Seeing the faces of those we had embraced as we left to come back. Hearing the unfamiliar, yet wonderful sounds of those in a different tongue. Smelling the air filled with ocean mist and mountain haze. Feeling the beat of the hearts as you hold them in your lap.
This time we are taking a group of about 50. Mostly it will be those that are head quarters, some will be joining us from Texas, Canada, and Mexico. Our last trip to Peru was a group of about 21 young people and Mr. Gothard. You can here a report of that last trip here- Peru Report.There is a place to sign up to be part of a prayer team that receives updates.
Our goal this time, as a group, is to be involved in many schools and teach character. Mr. Gothard is also going to be meeting with many groups of people. We will be staying in the same place as last time and will be there for a week.
I am nervous and excited at the same time. Thrilled with what lays ahead. I know it is a tough battle and it's been going on for a long time. Pray hard and fight for His people. Pray for boldness, pray for the enemy to be bound, pray for ears to be opened, pray for fear to vanish, pray for glory to be made known.
Jesus came to set the captives free
Showed us by the way He lived
The way we need to be
Oh love is more than words could ever say
We must touch them with compassion
To help them find their way
Showed us by the way He lived
The way we need to be
Oh love is more than words could ever say
We must touch them with compassion
To help them find their way
Hey Libby!
I'll be praying for you and your team as you minister in Peru! I hope your time there is fruitful and you reach many for the Lord.
With prayers,
