I LEAVE SATURDAY!!!!!

Here 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 style event and also work on English language skills.

06/23 Monday - 06/25 Wednesday we will set up dental/medical clinics and begin seeing patients. While VBS is held at a local school.

06/26 Thursday we will have a free morning, then fly back to Lima in the afternoon.  

06/27 Friday we will assemble and distribute wheelchairs in the morning and have a free afternoon.

06/28 Saturday we will depart Lima very early in the morning to head back to The States with a layover in Miami.

As I read through our itinerary in country I feel like it is all going to go by so quickly!  Thank you for your support of me and this missions trip. I know God has a plan for how to use each of us in a way that is meaningful to the people we encounter in Peru and along the way in our travels. I've seen Him do it before and believe He WILL do it again!
Love you all, Lisa🫶🏼

 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...

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 t...
