Mission Trip to Peru, June 2004



Details:
12 day mission trip (plus two days of travel) to Peru on June 24th, 2004.  Bob Curtis (a friend who I got to know thru the previous Peru trip) was coordinating the trip a few months beforehand, with the volunteer staff of Frontline Ministries and the leader of Young Life in Peru (folks we worked with last time).  I jumped onboard about 3 weeks prior to the trip, to join what had already been planned.  The folks we worked with this time were from a mixture of efforts, involving both Frontline Ministries and Young life, and included the following: Pepe Acat, Luis Gonzales, Isaias Grados, Janet Delgado, Enrique/Nana/Viviana Vargas, Lynda Hunnicutt, Michael Cummings, Erin Spokes, Julie, Jorge Rodrigez, Elsa/Angelina/Ruth Grados, Cesar, and a church group from Colorado. 

Intent:
My intent was two fold.  It was similar to the last trip by spending time with orphanage kids, participating in heavy 3rd world construction, and experiencing more of God.  But I also wanted to work thru thoughts from my relationship and continue working to identify my Spiritual gift.

My Journal:
I spent plenty of time journaling on this trip.  I wanted to capture as many memory fragments as possible, so I could process more later.  Click here to see the journal.

Reasons for going and trip fruition
