Hola Mission Trip Participants!In just a little over 4 months, we are scheduled to arrive in Lima, Peru for a week of work and fellowship alongside members of the Presbytery of Huanta. It is my hope that in taking us so far away from our familiar surroundings, God will bring us closer to Him, to each other and to our precious brothers and sisters in Peru. I am so looking forward to the spiritual journey that awaits us.
Sixteen (16) members of Bryson City Presbyterian Church ("BCPC"), Port Orange Presbyterian Church ("POPC") and Sharon Presbyterian Church ("SPC") have committed to the trip. We are blessed to have several youth joining us this year. I hope that our team covenant will include a statement that our youth will be heard on this trip.
We are also blessed that Brenda Paredes, a member of Amen Presbyterian Church in Carabayllo, Peru, will also be joining us.
The trip will be lead by Sara Armstrong and Rusty Edmondson, the PC(USA) delegations coordinators in Lima. Sara and Rusty are serving at the invitation of the Evangelical Presbyterian and Reformed Church of Peru (the "IEPRP").
As I write this, Sara and Rusty are on their way (via an overnight bus) from Lima to Huanta for a series of meetings with the Junta Directiva (the governing council) of the IEPRP. They will also be working on our behalf during this trip to finalize some of the many details (transportation, meals, accommodations, project work, etc.) associated with our mission trip. As details start to emerge and our itinerary begins to come together I will share the details with you.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or need additional information about the trip, please let me know.
Peace,
Randy
