Hi, friends and family! As you probably know if you are on this page, I have been called to another short-term mission field. I want to share what i know about this opportunity with you, and above all, I need you to pray for me now and especially in June when I will be in Yurimagas, Peru. I will join a group from e3 Partners, whose mission is to help equip God's people, evangelize His world, and establish His church. It is so exciting!

From what I know now, I will be in the villages going house to house sharing the gospel with the people of Peru. I will also have a chance to work with newly established churches in the region. The population of the area where I will serve is around 18,000, and there are only 6 small evangelical churches. 

I can't wait to see how God works on this trip! I will be working alongside local pastors, a translator and a group of nursing students from Samford. God has been preparing me for this trip as I serve our community here in Alabama, and as He has sent me to places like Michigan and even Belize to share His love with others. I know that He already has divine appointments set for me in Yurimagas.

As you pray for me and this trip, will you specifically begin now praying for the people of Yurimagas that we will be ministering to? Please pray for travel safety. Please pray that the people we share with will have hearts that are willing to hear God's Word and let it penetrate to their very souls. I am confident that God will equip me to fulfill the great commission.

If you feel led to assist me financially, thank you. I will be in Peru for 10 days and my trip cost is $2,700. That amount covers all of my costs for this trip (my travel, accommodations, meals, translators, etc). I have to have 50% of my trip paid for by March 12, which really does not seem to be that far away! 

If you are reading this, it does my heart good, because now you, too, are a part of God's work in Peru. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

Love,
Cooper
