Peru

Tomorrow evening, I am driving to the Miami airport to leave for Peru. Recently I've been carrying on a conversation with a missionary in Arequipa who, along with his family and another family, is rethinking church and how to help the people they are ministering to become disciples. In the course of our conversations, I was invited to join them during a retreat they are hosting for local pastors next week - and they would pay my way!

I feel honored to be able to make this trip and humbled that they would invite me. However, this is the kind of thing Amber and I have been praying for. We want to help the church in transition, wherever it exists. Locally, we're doing that with a small network of friends. Beyond that, we want to be available to whatever God has for us.

Pray for me as I'm there that I can be attentive to whatever God wants to do. Also, please pray for Amber and the kids during their week at home without me. I'll have internet during the trip, so I'll be posting updates and photos here and there.
