We are going back to PERU!!!!!!
We booked Airfare for Feb 24.
We would like all those in the area who can to come to an Open House Feb 22 (Sun) from 3-7 p.m. We will be looking at pictures of this past year in Peru, video and eating snacks, it should be fun.
We are so thankful to all of you for supporting us, not just with money but prayer. We can NOT do what we need to do with our ministry without the prayers.
Thank you and we hope to see you on Sunday Feb. 22.

Another step of faith
Well, as of now, we are planning to go back to Lima for a second year of teaching!
No, we haven't raised the full amount of support we need (a little less than $14000), but in seven days we received commitments for a little less than HALF of it. We're taking that as a confirmation of God's provision and direction for the next eleven months (to go back).
If you are one of the people who have generously pledged to support us, THANK YOU. Please go ahead and fulfill those pledges at this time; make checks out to either Emily OR Cindy and mail them to us at our parents' address.
Please check back often for support updates and information on our return trip to Lima.
Love to you all!

The "problem": Peruvian laws changed; the school cannot pay us like last year. We can return only if we come as fully supported missionaries.
We need $500/month per person; $1000 monthly total.
Big picture: $11,000 for the 2009 school year.
Also needed in Feb: airfare & health insurance ($2000 total)
Also also needed in Feb: Emily's meds for the year ($500)
The Result:
In seven days, we received commitments for $6600 support. This is almost half of the total amount we need. We are taking this overwhelming support as confirmation for us to return to Lima for our second year of teaching at MCS.
If you still want to pledge a future amount or give a gift now, PLEASE do so; our race is not yet completed!
