Going Abroad

Hola, For the past two years I have been mentoring youth with Fellowship Student Ministry and have spiritually discipled 10 young men who are high school students at my church Fellowship Bible Church Nashville. On July 19-28, 2008 we have the privilege of participating with a team of leaders and students on a short-term mission trip to Comas, located 30 minutes north of Lima, Peru. I will be in a leadership role on the trip and three of my courageous students Brandon, Collin, and Clayton are going to Comas, Peru.

Comas is a rapidly growing area that has tremendous needs due to its poor economic and social conditions. It's one of the most populous regions in the country. Fellowship Bible Church has a strategic long term partnership with the Comas Church to plant several churches in the area. This trip is an opportunity for us to practically live out the call Christ has on our lives to seek and save the lost.

Our team will have the opportunity to impact the local community in many ways and encourage the work of the local church that is already going on. Our team will be working alongside the Comas Church to feed children in impoverished areas while visiting and working on some of the homes in these areas. We will be building relationships in the local neighborhoods as we work with their street evangelism ministry to attract people and share the gospel. Encouraging the children who are apart of the Christian Missionary Alliance is also a key objective of our trip.

Thank you friends for your prayers and support for our team and the people of Peru that we get share Christ with.
