Hello Family, Friends, and Visitors,

Hope this message finds you well. Ever since I visited Mexico for a short term missions trip, I have had the desire to serve the underserved communities near my home and around the world. But before I start med school to study holistic medicine and pursue my dreams of being part of world medical missions, God has been calling me to get out of my own comfort zone, learn how to build relationships with those of different cultures, and extend His love.
  
With this in mind, I have the opportunity to be part of a team of young adults from Cornerstone Church Long Beach to serve the indigenous group of people in Sicuani-Marangoni, Peru. We will be partnering with e3 Partners from June 27-July 7 to serve the needs of the people physically, emotionally, and spiritually using sports ministry and eye glass clinics to reach and serve the people in this area.
 
I am very excited about this opportunity and I look forward to see what is in store for me, the team, and for the people of Peru. However, this missions trip requires the involvement of many people and I would like to ask you to please join me and the team in this great opportunity. There are two areas you can help me in. One, I would really love your prayers for this trip and ministry. I believe prayer is powerful since it has been in my life and hopefully in yours as well. Two, I also need your financial help to have the means to go. Your financial assistance would help cover the cost of $2700, which includes our travel, stay, food and ministry expenses while in Peru. I cordially invite you to join us through fervent prayer and/or financial support. If there is anything I can be praying for you, and/or if you would like to receive updates regarding the missions trip please feel free to let me know by dropping a comment below.

With love and gratitude,

Therese
