From Sara Armstrong And Rusty Edmondson

Greetings from Sara Armstrong and Rusty Edmondson in Lima, Perú 2018

…CHANGES IN PERÚ

What a great ride! It has been 10 (!!) years since we were sent to Perú to establish a Short-Term-Mission Program between PC(USA) and Peruvian partners.  We are excited to help start PERUSA;  a new program of the Red Uniendo Manos-Perú (the Joining Hands Network.)  Miriam Laura became the Coordinator of PERUSA in May, 2017 and has guided us through two team seasons.  Miriam can be contacted by email at:  perusa.red@gmail.com.  We are also keen on the 14 new projects, approved by Peruvians and awaiting adoption by US church partners.

In the midst of all this excitement, Rusty retires December 31, 2018 and we will be leaving Perú.  Sara is praying and searching for the next big step in her life.  We are delighted to report that our position is prioritized for the next four years.  We hope you will give (or transfer) your material and spiritual support to the new Mission Co-Worker(s) who will start work in Perú, hopefully by the end of 2018.

…FROM OUR NATIONAL OFFICE

“World Mission will be recruiting a replacement for Sara & Rusty’s position and invites you prayerfully to continue your support of this important ministry.  We ask you to further your partnership with Presbyterian World Mission by making a pledge for the next four years, that is, from 2018 through 2022, in support of our collective ministry in Peru.  Your continued gifts to E200530 (https://www.presbyterianmission.org/donate/E200530/) will help ensure our ability to fill this position.  We cannot do this important ministry without you.”

WE ARE HEADED YOUR WAY!

September - December, 2018 Rusty and Sara will be traveling through the US on Itineration Assignment

Please let us know if you are interested in receiving us and hearing about our changes, the new PERUSA programs, and other news from Perú.  We have US partners in 27 states so this should be a busy four months! Please contact us at dos_zapatos@yahoo.com.  We hope to see you soon!
