Peru Mission Trip 2010

Dear Mission Trip Participants:

It is hard to believe, but there are now less than five (5) weeks to go before Peru Mission Trip 2010!

I had hoped to get the group together for a conference call to discuss and adopt a team covenant. Given summertime schedules, however, that is looking increasingly doubtful. Let's try to adopt a team covenant by e-mail. Include all participants with the things that you would like to see us accomplish during our trip and how you would like for us to accomplish these things.

I submit the following suggestions:

• That our team travel to Peru with open minds, arms and hearts, always striving to let the grace, love and mercy of God shine through each of us through our words and deeds.
• That we look after and support each other.
• That we listen to and respect each other as we try to discern God's plan for us in Peru.
• That we take time during our trip to build bridges between our diverse cultures.
• That we be especially mindful of the youth participants and ensure that they are respected and heard.

Thanks to those of you that have already returned your trip forms. I will be arranging for trip insurance the week of July 5th, so please get the trip forms back to me by the July 1, 2010 deadline.

We are blessed that we have received many donations of clothing and shoes for the children of the Presbytery of Huanta. If your packing permits you to take additional donations in your checked or carryon bags, please let me know.

Blessings to each of you!

Randy
