Peru
November 4, 2008
Peru changed my life in so many ways. This trip opened up my heart to anything that stepped in my path and to the path that God wanted me to go. In my experience, I shared all the love I had and more with the children and people of Peru. God is present in every single person there and you can see it in their faces that they need God. I got to be the one to help show them God’s love. Peru was such a rewarding mission trip; I made lifelong friendships, journeyed closer to God, and stepped into learning about my faith (every day I am surprised by how much God loves me and how much I love him back).

Imagine waking up at an altitude of 14,000 feet, breathing in the crisp mountain air of the Andes, and saying prayer that this day you may “cry the gospel with your life.” This is a dream that can be your reality as we renew our faith adventure in the country of Peru. Opportunities for service are plentiful on this mission which will be facilitated by the Christian Life Movement. The main thrust of this trip is catechesis in the villages that populate the scenic Colca Canyon along with service opportunities in the poorest neighborhoods in Lima. This has been one of the best mission experiences FOCUS has realized in the past and now comes your chance to join the legacy.
