    There are 14 of us going. There are two trip leaders that work for the CCO (Coalition of Christian Outreach). Beyond them there are 12 students going. Four of the students, me included, go to Allegheny. We have been getting lunch on Tuesdays throughout the semester. This picture is from Jubilee, a big CCO conference, where everyone going to Peru was able to meet, except for a few students who werenโ€™t able to make it to the conference.

      Here are some prayer requests and praises:
  • This trip was fully funded as of a few weeks ago! It has been scary to rely on the Lord in this way, and to ask others for money, but it has been encouraging to see how the Lord provides.
  • I graduate from Allegheny College May 10th, and this trip leaves on the 11th. I am nervous about this fast transition because I will be saying many goodbyes to many people at Allegheny. Pray for closure and that I am able to say goodbye well.
  • Pray for safe travels, good team dynamics, and that we would be able to help the community we are entering. So often, I hear the negatives of short term missions and so please pray that we would be able to be a blessing to those we are around and that God would be moving and softening peopleโ€™s hearts.
  • Please pray that I would be able to see how God has blessed Peruvians in their lives.
