We're Back
A few of us returned yesterday from our visit to Perú. We arrived back home with a few lingering stomach issues, but nothing serious. Thank you to Sara Armstrong, Rebeca Massõn, Lucy Poma and Miriam Laura for joining us again this year!
All 16 of your donation bags with clothes, shoes, reading glasses, toys and crutches made it to Perú! A special thank you to Crews Walden for providing Spanish Bibles too.
Please keep in your thoughts and prayers Ashley Aldridge, Pat Blumer, Darby Buchanan, Rob Blumer and Chris Buchanan as they are still in Perú. They extended their trip on to Machu Picchu. (Apparently their luggage did not make the trip to Cusco...) All will be returning in the coming few days with more stories to tell.
Our work this year was again though Samuel Montes' NGO of Puriyninchic. In Ayacucho, we visited the VRAE II church. At VRAE II we sanded and varnished church benches. For the children, we sanded and varnished tables and painted chairs. This year's hit was tie dye shirts!
In the church in Maynay, we helped to paint the primer coat on a brand new sanctuary.
We thank Yesenia Montes, Darby Buchanan, Anna Vickrey and Taylor Vickrey for "taking control" of the kids. Thank you to Randy Ross for providing water balloon games, balloons, crayons, coloring sheets and beaded necklaces.
This year, we were blessed to rekindle old relationships and create new ones in both Ayacucho and Hunata.
More news coming soon...

Request For Help With Transportation Of Donations
On Sunday, June 18, 2017, members and friends of the 2017 Sharon Presbyterian Church Mission Trip to Perú met in Room 6 of the Activities Building to pack suitcases of donations to be taken to Perú by this year’s mission team. Items packed included women’s and children’s clothing and shoes, Bibles and study materials, prayer shawls, crutches, knitted infant caps, reading glasses, toys and crafts. Eighteen suitcases, containing nearly one thousand pounds of donations were packed. The Sharon Church congregation has again provided a blessing to its less fortunate brothers and sisters in Perú.
The mission team is seeking assistance transporting these suitcases to the airport Thursday morning, July 27, 2017. If interested, please contact, Van Dale (704-577-3409 / wvandale@gmail.com) or Randy Ross (704-965-5432 / mrandallross@aol.com).

Spanish - English Bibles
 |
| Spanish - English Bible App |
The apps load all the books of the Bible into your phone or tablet memory so you can use them in airplane mode, without cell phone service or without WiFi.
All are basic Bibles, but they will save weight when packing on your next Perú trip.
