With just a little over six (6) weeks until our mission trip, I wanted to provide everyone with an update.
The 2014 team consists of:
- DeAnna Booth {Bryson City Presbyterian Church} Bryson City, NC
- Laura Booth {Bryson City Presbyterian Church} Bryson City, NC
- Connie Dale {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
- Brenda Paredes {Amen Presbyterian Church} Carabayllo, Lima, Peru & {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
- Randy Ross {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
- Annie-Kate Sahlie {Christ the King Presbyterian Church} Wilmington, NC
- Marsha Jean ("MJ") Shetron {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
- Tom Skinner {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
- Beverley Vickrey {Christ Episcopal Church} Charlotte, NC
- Van Dale {Sharon Presbyterian Church} Charlotte, NC
I look forward to serving with each of you and getting to know you better during our time in Peru!
All international and domestic flight reservations have been made. Brenda Paredes and I are currently working on our ground transportation in Lima, Ayacucho and Huanta. Sara Armstrong and Rusty Edmondson are working on our accommodations in Lima, Ayacucho and Huanta.
We will again ask each participant to take an additional checked suitcase this year which will be packed with children's clothing, shoes, craft items, etc. The donations will most likely remain in Lima as we have been made aware of an area church with impoverished members with tremendous needs for such items.
If you are in Charlotte on Sunday, June 8, 2014 and would like to help sort and pack the donations, we will meet at Sharon Church at 3:00 pm in the basement of the Barbara Ward Building, formerly known as the Annex Building. Let's plan to go to dinner afterwards at Genaro's Peruvian Rotisserie or Monterrey Mexican Restaurant, both located on Park Road near Highway 51.
The 2014 trip promises to again be one of witness and service to an amazing Christ. Thank you for participating in this journey.
Blessings to each of you!
Randy Ross
Thanks for sending this, Van and Randy. Brings back fond memories and disappointment that we can no longer go. Have a wonderful, meaningful time and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. You guys are candidates for sainthood for pulling this trip off year after year in a Christ-like manner.
