I am going on another adventure this summer! This time it is to Peru in July, just a couple months from now. The last time I went on a short term adventure was in 2012 to Masaka, Uganda, where I shared the good news of Jesus Christ, ministered to children, witnessed life transformations, and made life-long friends. These past five years, I have been participating in outreach events in downtown San Diego serving the homeless with food, listening to their stories, praying with them, introducing them to Jesus, and seeing some folks find homes and start giving back.

Many of my friends from the Rock Church Impact 195 Discipleship school were commissioned in teams to the Caribbean, India, Africa, Europe, the South Pacific, but nobody was going to South America; so when my friend told me about this trip to Peru this summer, I instantly felt like I needed to go!

Our team will be traveling by plane, boat, and foot to share the love of Christ with the people of Caballococha, Peru, which is located close to Columbia and Brazil, right on the Amazon River. The trip could include a ten-hour boat ride, sleeping in tents or hammocks, and hiking to reach jungle tribes who may have never seen anyone from the USA. We will be bringing them vitamins, water filtration systems, eyeglasses, and malaria prevention programs. We will have translators with us the entire time, and trip will take a total of nine days. Those open to the gospel, we will train to make disciples and spread the gospel on their own. Growing closer to Jesus has changed my life and I want to share with others so they will experience the same transformation.
