		<description><![CDATA[There is really nothing like a mission trip to Peru! While Arizona swelters under the Summer sun, you could cool off and do some good at the same time. This June and July, you have a chance to be on mission in the city of Trujillo. Peru&#8217;s second largest city has great needs and great answers. We have friendships with pastors, leaders and community-minded people who want to see lives changed, just like you. Franz and Juanita Vilcherez are a great example. Franz is the pastor of a growing church, and has extended an invitation for us to work with them in Alto Trujillo, an area of 50,000 people who live without electricity, water or sanitation. This is where the Vilcherez&#8217;s and their church are putting their efforts. One day, it will be another of the established areas of Trujillo, and you can help to make it a great place to live.

<p>There is really nothing like a mission trip to Peru! While Arizona swelters under the Summer sun, you could cool off and do some good at the same time. This June and July, you have a chance to be on mission in the city of Trujillo. Peru&#8217;s second largest city has great needs and great answers.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">We have friendships with pastors, leaders and community-minded people who want to see lives changed, just like you. Franz and Juanita Vilcherez are a great example. Franz is the pastor of a growing church, and has extended an invitation for us to work with them in Alto Trujillo, an area of 50,000 people who live without electricity, water or sanitation. This is where the Vilcherez&#8217;s and their church are putting their efforts. One day, it will be another of the established areas of Trujillo, and you can help to make it a great place to live.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">What Can You Do To Help ?</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you paint?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you cut a board?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you drive a nail?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you speak Spanish?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you play a guitar?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you give your testimony?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you teach a child how to brush his or her teeth?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Can you demonstrate that you care?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">or any one of a dozen other things!!!</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">If you can do any of the above, you can be a great help. We are taking applications for trips right now. Costs for a 10 day trip will run about $2,200 for Airfare from Phoenix to Lima (round trip of course), Ground transportation from Lima to Trujillo and back, lodging, 3 meals a day, and basic ministry expenses. Any trip can be upgraded in terms of hotel accommodations or adding on excursions to one of the many historic, cultural and amazing places that are located nearby.</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Prices are based on groups of 20 and accommodations are shared rooms.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Don&#8217;t have a group of 20? Write to us and see if we can combine your church or group with another.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Please note that airfares only tend to go up, so make plans soon.</span></strong></li>
</ul>

		<description><![CDATA[Julie and I were picked up by a taxi in Lima and went to the home of Jose and Eliana Chavez, with whom we were friends in Tumbes. We spent a day in Lima, visited with other friends from our time in Trujillo and travelled by overnight bus to Trujillo. Pastor Tito Sevilla picked us up in his trusty blue truck and took us to the seminary where we are staying for a few days. We are amazed by the changes in the city: the availability of goods that we would never have thought possible. I can remember making trips to Lima to by some ordinary tool that was not available here. Well, it is all here now! -Please Pardon the Errors&#8230;Written On a Small Keyboard!

		<description><![CDATA[It was a great day. One to remember for how God was at work. I took an 8 am bus ride from Coyuca to downtown Acapulco. It was a good mile or so walk to the main bus route and a welcome cup of coffee. After working on the website and catching up on emails, I took another bus up over the mountain to the prison. Bill, Rob and I went over the message and made our way through the numerous gates and ID checks. The prisoners were waiting at the covered sports pavilion. The band of prison believers was on fire and led in worship. Bill gave his testimony and a prisoner who is not a Christian translated. Bill was very pleases as the translator had many spiritual questions. I translated for Rob who gave a very straight forward message. I did not realize how good the day was until later as the day before was &#8220;one of those days&#8221; when things did not go well. We do not always have great days but thank God for the ones we get! -Please Pardon the Errors&#8230;Written On a Small Keyboard!]]></description>
