Hey folks,

Following our summer trip to Mennonite World Conference, there was money left in the group's budget. This has opened up the opportunity for several of us (Jon, Ashley, and Carl) to go to Peru along with 8 other Mennonite young adults from the Northeast. We're going back to Huacarpay and Lucre, Peru to help with flood relief. A couple of months ago, the towns there experienced devastating floods that destroyed nearly all the homes. We're going to help with cleanup, rebuilding, and just to encourage our Christian brothers and sisters in Peru. It is hard to say how often we'll actually get to update this blog while we are there, but check back and see if we post any updates or photos. We're heading out tomorrow, so keep us in your prayers!

If you'd like to help with flood relief in Peru by going or by donating money, please contact Eastern Mennonite Missions or visit their website at emm.org.
