Our Team


Here we are! The team that will be heading to Peru. First of all we've been told this is "not" a vacation...we'll be sweating together, working in the sun, being tested together, practically with each other around the clock so we'll be getting to know each other REALLY well. We are teachers, nurses, musicians, yoga instructors, students, therapists, and IT professionals with a variety of interests ranging from 18 - 63 years of age. We are the hands and feet for all of our supporters and God's ambassadors in another country, so we will represent with humility and Godliness. We'll be tested...our patience, our pride, our integrity even, stretched and put out of our comfort zone, but this is all part of the growth process and how we will make a difference in the lives of others and in ourselves. This is the journal of 16 Christ followers and our service to the community of La Merced, Peru.

I'm very proud of our team. Your desire to serve the Lord is very apparent and brings great meaning to the mission.
