Greetings!
We are writing to let you know about a recent opportunity that we've had to embark on a short-term mission trip to Lamas, Peru, May 27-June 4, 2016. Our trip is organized by e3 Partners and we will join a team of others who are taking the Gospel to the people of Lamas, Peru. Although we wrestled with God over this decision for many weeks. He showed us that we are being called to go.

Our team will partner with national churches and believers to target unreached people groups with the Gospel. Each day, we will work with several local believers, including a translator, and go throughout the community, sharing Christ with those we meet. Our local partners are committed to following up with those who make professions of faith throughout the week and establish new churches in those areas. Additionally, our team is to take a medical team to take care of the physical needs of those in Lamas, which will soften their hearts to hear the gospel. Jesus said we should give a cup of cold water in His name and that is exactly what we want to do. This will be first team that we are aware of with e3 to enter this town.

We write this to ask that you consider partnering with us on this mission trip through prayers and financial contributions. We believe God has called us to go but this can only happen if others will join our sending team of spiritual and financial supporters. 

Would you consider sending us? You can do this by committing to pray for Leroy and me and our mission. You can also give financially to help cover our trip expenses. The total cost for us is $5200. Funds are due as soon as possible. 

You may give toward our trip by visiting e3partners.org or by sending a check made out to "e3 Partners Fund at Pure Charity". PLEASE SEND YOUR CHECKS DIRECTLY TO US AT: 341 VINCENT STREET, ALABASTER, AL 35007. All gifts are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt from e3 Partners.

Thank you for prayerfully considering this request. We look forward to seeing how God provides as we take this step in faith. Your prayers and financial support will be a blessing to us and those who have the opportunity to hear the Gospel thanks to you!

In Christ, 

Leroy and Patti Raymond
