Oh Peru!

In one month I will be traveling to Chincha, Peru on my first ever mission trip since having my babies. Mission trips in and of themselves are such a test of faith, especially trips out of the country.  But you add the fact that I have little ones ... it makes it all the more a test of faith!  We have some friends also (husband and wife) going and leaving their children with family.  When I found out they were going, I had a peace about my own children.  It's amazing the little things God uses!

We will fly into Lima and then travel by bus to Chincha the following day. 

We will be doing door-to-door evangelism and children's ministry.  Chincha is a society of Afro-Peruvians; citizens who are mostly descended from slaves.  I know when I see a baby there it will be hard for me to let go of them.  They will have to check my bags ;)  Totally joking!  :)

Prayers for myself, Jeremiah, and the rest of our team from SC, Mississippi, and Texas (about 38 of us) are VERY appreciated ... and for our families back home.  There is a link to a blog that will keep you updated while we are there!  It is:  http://e3chincha12.blogspot.com/.
