In order to continue preparing myself for success in my ultimate goal of becoming a long term missionary, I will be returning to Peru this spring break on a work mission trip! I will be working in Urubamba, Peru for 8 days between March 9-16 to show Christ’s love to the abandoned boys at a Scripture Union orphanage. These orphaned boys, called “girasoles”, are seen as less than garbage in Peru and are routinely abused physically, sexually, and emotionally. While working at the orphanage, my team will be able to serve the orphanage by assisting with any task they need accomplished for the betterment of the home - whether that is hauling hundreds of loads of river rocks for house foundations, or planting hundreds of Eucalyptus trees to grow into lumber for future buildings. We will also spend all eight days playing with the boys of the home and showing them G-d’s love in our words and deeds.
Will you consider joining my team and partnering with me in this extension of G-d’s plan for the nations? I will need many prayers and monetary support as I prepare for the long trip to Peru. I have committed to raising $2,500. This $2,500 includes airfare, bus transportation, meals, and housing while in Peru. Breaking the numbers down makes this large task a little less intimidating: if twenty people were to donate $100, I would have 80% of my fundraising completed! I ask you to prayerfully consider how you can best be a part of this extension of G-d’s love to the orphans of Peru. Reaching the world through missions in next to impossible on the scale of the individual, but a team of senders and goers working together with G-d’s blessing can accomplish many great things for His Kingdom.
Prayer Points:
- Pray our team will begin to be shaped by G-d’s Word
- Pray for our group development. Pray that our team may grow together through this experience.
- Pray for my financial support and that G-d would provide for every member of our team.
G-d Bless,
Dallas Ann Drazan
