The Journey Begins

What began as the desire of two young women to share Christ with children in an orphanage in Peru, God has now grown into:

- 30 missionaries traveling to that orphanage
- opportunity to share Christ's love and His gospel
with the children through Vacation Bible School
- training for the teachers at the orphanage
- plans to complete the school at the orphanage
- thousands of dollars given for the school and for
the trip

God has already done amazing things in the lives and hearts of all involved in this journey. In this blog we will attempt to document the great things that God has already done and the things we know He will continue to do as we seek to follow Him in obedience.

Please join us in this journey by committing to pray for the missionaries going on this trip and for the children who will be touched.

To God be the Glory!

Amy, Thanks for taking the time to set up this blog. I know it is going to be a blessing to many. Sunday, I''m going to be preaching about the wonderful blessings that are ours because of our relationship to Christ. Indeed, it is all for God's Glory.

Have a Great and Happy Thanksgiving.

Our Story

January 2 - 10, 2010 thirty-one members and friends of Southmont Baptist Church traveled to Sagrada Familia Communidad de Ninos, an orphanage near Lima, Peru. The team conducted Vacation Bible School for the children, taught ESL classes, provided training for the teachers at the orphanage school, and helped with construction of the second floor of the school. God has done amazing things since that trip! Two of the team members, Lauren and Nancy, returned to the orphanage to teach in the school. They are also leading many Bible studies in the orphanage. They have begun working with the community surrounding the orphanage, teaching the Bible in some of the public schools, and starting a house church. A group of college students from Southmont traveled to the orphanage in May to lead a backyard Bible club and work on projects around the orphanage. Lauren and Nancy have begun to see a harvest, as children and adults are committing their lives to follow Christ!

Please join us in praying...

... for the team that God is assembling to travel to Peru in December.

... for the plans and preparations for our upcoming trip, that God will lead us in preparing for the job He has for us to do.

... that God will continue to move in the hearts of His children in Peru, that we would see a great harvest!

... for Nancy and Lauren as they finish up their first year teaching at the orphanage, continuing to share the Gospel through word and deed.

... for all those in Peru who were, and continue to be, touched by the gospel of Jesus Christ through our involvement as well as the involvement of other Christians. Pray that they will commit their lives to following Christ.
