Hello Friends and Family,
As many of you know, I feel like God has called me to spend time serving in Peru over the next few months. This is a very scary thing for me, but also an exciting time in my life. While in Peru, I will be doing lots of interesting work. I have been connected with a Pastor in Peru named Mario Coello. Mario has planted over five churches all around the country of Peru and has asked me to come and help train their local worship bands. I will be teaching music lessons to these worship leaders and helping them learn how to effectively lead their churches in worship. Mario also operates two kindergartens in Peru where very poor children are allowed to come to school and learn english, math, and other necessary skills.
In Peru, public schools are free, but only if the children can afford the uniforms. If they do not have one, they do not go to school. That's why Mario's kindergartens are so necessary. It provides a foundation of education for kids who would not get it otherwise. I will be assisting the teachers there and helping with the english part of the children's lessons.
All of these things are very exciting, and I cannot wait to get down there and begin my work. However, these things take money. I am writing this blog to ask my family and friends if they could donate money in order to help me help others. I feel like I have been called to pursue a life in missions and this is the first step that I am taking. I pray that you guys will be able to donate and support me in that way, but if you cannot, I will also be needing much prayer support as well. My plan is to leave in January and return in July and I hope that each of you will keep me in your prayers till I return. My plan is to keep this blog up during my trip, so I hope that you all will keep up with me while I'm gone.
