My Excitement

I'm excited with the opportunity of being able to share the gospel and the love of Jesus with kids in the region as well as equipping new believers and families to be able to teach others the love of Christ. 

This trip has financial needs and as I'm paying for this trip myself if you feel called any donation is greatly appreciated. The total trip cost is now $2,700

However the greatest need for this trip is prayer. If you could pray first that financially I am able to raise full support for this trip, so that it is not a financial burden for me. Second, pray that I continue to pursue Christ in a time that will definitely be filled with trial and temptation. Third, pray that the Spirit speaks through me and that while I'm speaking with those about the trip and with people while in Peru that He is glorified through my tongue and actions.

I am blessed with this opportunity, and my prayer is that through this trip God challenges me to rely on him more and teaches me new ways to reach other with the Good News the Gospel provides.

A Little about the Trip

The Gateway to the Amazon 

Iquitos, located in Northeastern Peru, is the country’s largest rain forest city.  With a population of 422,000, it is also the fifth largest city in Peru.  Iquitos is often considered the “Capital of the Peruvian Amazon” for its strategic location and culture.   

While it can only be reached by air or sea, it is a critical hub for travel into the remote villages that populate the Peruvian Amazon.  Its historic architecture, amazing food, and vibrant nightlife also make it a popular tourism destination.   

What We’re Doing 

Beyond its beauty and culture, Iquitos is a strategic entry point into the region.  On this expedition, we will host a series of medical and eye care clinics where residents can receive free exams, medications, and eyeglasses.  As we serve the people, it will provide new opportunities to share the Gospel with them. 

I will have the opportunity to meet new believers who are taking their first steps as followers of Christ.  We will partner with them to establish new churches across the region and invite people into a relationship with Jesus.
