Buying potentially 2 mototaxi’s as future sources of income for the church 3. Throwing christmas parties & giving out gifts & cards from our group in Lima & Pachacutec 4.Gifting funds to El Shaddai to finish off building work on the future drug rehab space.

We’re calling on everyone to join in committed prayer for this trip during the day on Thursday!  We’ll post details on everything we did starting next Monday and through that week!
