Mission Prep

My first actual "blog", wow.
2 days and counting...
All the flights are confirmed, 11 people are packing and re packing, trying to get their lives in order to go "into the field". The team in Peru is in place, the materials are purchased for the homes we hope to build, the community knows the doctors are coming, looks like we are going to Peru!

What to pray for;
Brian, who is the Tacna missionary and are primary working contact just tore a ligament in his knee and has it iced and has orders to stay off it. So we may have lost our primary local contact.

The meds have all been purchased and packed and documented in a letter for customs (if they should ask). All the teams who have gone before us say it is much better for us if "they don't ask" so pray that, you guessed it, they don't ask.

The team will be flying to Dallas, then to Miami, then to Lima, then to Tacna, arriving 40 hours after we leave (Lord willing). Pray for all the connections, planes, baggage handlers, and most of all our team.

And finally and most importantly, please pray that the work we will be doing will be blessed and that it will help the local church spread the good news of Christ to the people of Tacna and the whole southern region of Peru.

Blessings,
Bill
