Getting Closer!

Very happy to say I am fully funded for my trip as of mid-March! Thank you to all of the friends and family who selflessly gave to support me. It is truly an honor to be an ambassador on your behalf. 🙏


I am just 2 months away from the trip to Peru! I found out at our last meeting that we will not be staying in the capital city of Lima as originally planned. We will be flying to Arequipa, a city that is about 475 miles southeast and at a much higher elevation (7,661 ft). Looked that up, its elevation is higher than Denver at 1.45 miles. 🌄 A quick check of the weather shows lows of 46 and highs of 72 which will be pretty perfect weather!

We are planning to spend Mon-Wed there doing the dental & medical clinics, along with ministry outreach. I bought some scrubs for working on the dental team. I'm (oddly) very excited about the role I will take on. 

We'll return back to Lima to spend Thurs assembling and distributing wheelchairs. With travel days on Saturday to get there and then Saturday to return home, I have a feeling this week will really fly by!

Our team has an Amazon list for OTC medications we will bring with for this medical outreach. I have purchased a bunch already but wanted to give anyone who may want to a chance to participate.  Here is the link: Amazon.com

The team will be meeting again this Sunday in the evening where I hope to find out more details about how the planning is progressing.

Feeling so Blessed to be able to go and bring hope & love to the people of Peru.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

I LEAVE SATURDAY!!!!!

H ere we go! On Saturday morning our team of over 55 people will meet at DFW (very early in the morning) to make our way to Peru. Please pray for safe travels & that all of our luggage arrives with us. We will be bringing vitamins/over the counter medicines in our checked luggage as well as dental equipment so it's imperative to have that as we arrive to begin our clinics.   Schedule is as follows : 06/21 Saturday we depart DFW at 8:30am with a layover in Miami with a 8:30pm arrival to Lima, Peru. This will be a loooong day of travel.  06/22 Sunday morning attend church at Camina de Vida, the church hosting us and arranging our outreach to those in Peru. After church we will work on packaging OTC meds/vitamins into small packets for distribution through our clinics.  In the afternoon that Sunday we will fly to Arequipa, the town we will be holding a dental/medical clinic and have our ministry team working with children at a local school. They will be doing a VBS...

Home Again!

 It's hard to even know where to start, so I'll start at the beginning of the trip. I arrived at DFW at 5:15am on Saturday, June 21st. Didn't see anyone from the mission's team so checked in my bag and waited around. Finally, I saw a group of folks in the same shirt ( we were given matching tee-shirts to travel in ). At first, I couldn't understand why we needed to be there 3 hours prior to our flight time but that became abundantly clear! With a group of 57 people it takes a looooong time to tag bags, check them in, get boarding passes and finally get everyone through security. Along the way, I met a lovely lady named Tiffany who works with an organization called "Orphan Outreach" here in the DFW area. She was joining our team for ministry in Arequipa and also going to be meeting with folks about their work expanding into Peru.  She is a Co-Founder of Orphan Outreach. We had great conversations about her family, her ministry, my past missions' experi...
