October 2006 'The Voice' - Support and the summit in January

Last year Pomerado Christian Church started out on an adventure with a team of stateside "sister" churches to help plant 10 "baby"churches all at the same time in the city of Trujillo, Peru.  We got off to a terrific start.

In addition to sending a team of 8 people to Trujillo for 2 weeks this last summer, we have also been sending $1,000 each month as part of our ongoing commitment to our own little sister church pastored by Marcos and Wilma Quispe. Our Missions Committee reports that your monthly pledges and "faith dollars" have been coming in consistentently.  Thank you for all the support. Your donations and prayers mean so much to our fellow believers in Peru.

Coming up in January our church wil send leaders to Phoenix for a one-day summit meeting of all the stateside big sister churches. Please be praying for this meeting that our unity will be strong and the direction clear as God leads us further on this wonderful adventure to bring new hopw to Peru.

Plans are being made to take a group of short term missionaries to Trujillo this summer. We are going with our team church from El Centro and plan to be gone from July 13th to 23rd.

The goal of the trip is to make face to face connections with Pastor Marco, his family, and the people of the barrio where our sister church is being planted. Our team will be taking hygiene and school supplies to distribute to the needy families, helping to build a pre-fabricated metal building, and assisting with a carnival type outreach event to help the new church to be recognized in the barrio.

If you feel God's call to go to Peru for these 10 days please contact Dennis Riley (858) 679-6790. There is much to do to get our sister church planted and it will be exciting to see how God is going to work in Trujillo!

And for an advanced look at where out group of short term missionaries will be working, look at these exciting photos John sent of Huanchaco Beach.

Sunday, April 23rd 2006, 6 of our team members traveled to El Centro, to meet and worship with their missions team that will go to Peru with us. We stayed for lunch and got to know each other and talk about the trip. First Christian is still putting together their team. Several weeks ago when I talked to them they only had three people who had committed to go this year. The number is growing and now appears they have as many as 12 or 14 who may be interested in going. We have two and a half months before we leave and there are many unanswered questions, but I believe we are making good progress. Once the teams are set we will be getting together with First Christian to determine what project we will be doing and how the teams will work together. All of our team is funded but one and they are in the process of send out appeal letters to raise support.

Although we will be carrying some small items in our baggage to be left in Trujillo, we would like to ship a box of material to Peru to provide for the ministry work.

Here are some of the suggested projects that our missions team could be involved in and related costs. The costs for these projects will be supported from existing PCC mission funds and not group members.

• Carnival: $200.00
• Soccer tournament: 100.00
• Feeding the kids: 200.00
• Painting houses: 200.00
• Water tank/well 300.00
• Construction of park 600.00
• Construction of roofs 225.00 (per house)
• Water outreach 300.00

THANK YOU for all the prayer for the logistical needs of our mission trip, and for them to  mesh together with the team from First Christian Church so we could be an effective tool in God's hand to help show His love to those who have not made a decision for Jesus.
