A Year Passes

I haven't blogged at all since last August. I believe I stopped mid-trip, actually. I ask forgiveness. Lots has happened since then and I will attempt to fill you in on some of it. Our trip last August had some real issues near the end, and while dealing with it, I wasn't sure how to (or even IF to) address it to the blogging world. Long story short - one of our dearest Peruvian team members began to deal with some health issues that necessitated immediate attention and some changing of plans. This was hard and scary, and through the joint effort of my awesome adult team members, we managed to shelter our young ladies from the situation. Then our plane was delayed from leaving Lima for 32 hours. Yep - THIRTY-TWO hours. There were blessings throughout the situation though. We were able to share the love of Jesus with lots of people that we met during our extended stay!

In March of 2014, Parkway sent three of our young men to live in Lachaqui for three months. We even had a short term mens team join them in April. There are many stories to tell from this experience, but that's for another time.

So here we are today. Six of us will be leaving in the morning for Peru again. Please pray for us! Pray that we will find fruit from the seeds of prior trips. Pray that we will have sustained health and strength - physical, mental, and spiritual. Pray that the hearts of the people we encounter will be open. Pray for safe travels both to and in Peru.

Thank you, friends, for being our prayer warriors for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS! We love you. I LOVE YOU!!
