Peru Ministry

Estimado Amigos(as) of our Companion Synod in Peru, We have been working hard to bring you good news. Our projects in Peru are GROWING by leaps and bounds because of YOU! So, this weekend, we have worked hard on improving for you the “Peru Projects” for the TX-LA Global Mission Gulf Coast web site at:

http://www.globalmissiongulfcoast.org/projects_peru.htm

Many things have been updated and hopefully improved. The Peru Projects in the past consisted of only one page. Today as you visit, it consists of SIX PROJECT pages. Yahooooooooo, we are growing. This information is now ready for you to take to your churches and present the “GOOD NEWS!” Below I list some of the pertinent changes for you to use:

The six new project pages are as follows:

• Future Seekers page – now ready for sponsors for the 2008 school year:
  There will be 8 churches to sponsor this year.
  All donated money will be directed to the Tx-La Synod office.
  Last year WE sent 159 children to school that would not have gone.
  In 2008, I hope we can DOUBLE that number and we hope that our vision of increase is WAY TOO SMALL!
  Vacation Bible School page – this year we had over 500 children attending, next year the moon. I would like all of you to know who is responsible for this GREAT venture. Her name is Amy Flannery. I would ask each of you to pray a special blessing for her and her family.
• Medical page – provides info on AIDS or SIDA as it is known in Peru and how we are starting to obtain help from an organization of Doctors in Houston (Peruvian American Medical Society -PAMS). Over 25 doctors from Memorial Herman and MD Anderson Hospitals make from 2 to 3 trips to Peru to provide medical help each year. Dr. Luis Campos, a heart surgeon at Herman Memorial Hospital in Houston heads up, Operation San Andres (OAS). Now they are aware of us and want to help. Currently, they are giving vitamins to all of the children of Emanuel Lutheran Church for a full year. And, we want to help them also!
• Homes page – illustrates examples of how to build new homes for people in Peru and provides illustrations of how Living Word and Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church of Florida are doing it.
• Jobs – this page deals with how to create income for the people in our churches in Peru. See especially:
  New professional sewing machines and Loom. A special thanks goes to “Richard and Olga Germer” of Living Word for making this happen
• El Jarrito de Peru – A proposed Mexican Restaurant to provide jobs. Gil Leon will be sending receipts of his food to Luz Divina
  Misc Projects – Breakfast specials, playgrounds and NEW……… proposed calendar with photos of our wonderful children from the churches of Peru.
  

So, we end with the Name of Him, Jesucristo, who makes this venture one of continual excitement and says His Words never return empty, Juanito (Gringo name is John Warner) and Miguilito (Gringo name is Mike Roberts) Potential “busboys” at the new El Jarrito de Peru in Marquez, Peru. Know that we love tips!
