For two weeks this summer I will be in Lima, Peru spreading the message of God and living a life for Him in a world of desolation and poverty. In teams of thirty, we will go out into the city each day doing projects such as ministry to orphanages, slum areas, work projects, painting, moving dirt, washing windows--whatever needs to be done. Each day, for lunch, we will be having peanut butter and jelly. (They told us that we will definitley be craving them when we get back!) Every night all students will attend FUAGNEM (Fired Up And Going Nuts Every Minute,) where will we praise the Lord in music, have fellowship with our fellow missionaries, and listen to special speakers.
I'm so excited for this trip! I'm so excited that God has given me this opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and live fully for Him. I've already gotten to talk to many of the girls going with me to Peru who are from California. Even though I've never met any of them, I already feel as if they are some of my best friends! I feel so much better knowing that I will have other girls to take on the flight to Miami with me, instead of going by myself.
Please pray for me and all of the other people who will be on this life-changing journey. I will use this blog before and while I am in Peru to keep you updated on everything that is happening down there!
I think this video is a perfect representation of what teens in our generation go through today. Jesus is the only one who can save us from the cruelties of the world.
