Preparation!

First of all, many, many thanks to those of you who contributed to our trip financially! You have made it possible for us to make a difference in the lives of so many people in the name of Jesus Christ. PTL!

And so the countdown begins...we leave for Peru in less than two weeks! It's hard to believe that we'll be in South American for 2 1/2 months. And not only that, but we've been planning our wedding as well! But the Lord has a plan for all of this, and he will work all these things together for our good. Here are some details on our trip that we know...
Our SVP (Summer Volunteer Program) team consists of 7 awesome people, who are listed at the end of this post.

We are leaving from Newark, NJ, on Monday, May 17th. Arriving in Lima, Peru, that night, we will begin the journey down to Chilca with the short term ACF team (that's our college church).

From there, we will be staying at Hannah's Home for the first ten days while we get accustomed to our surroundings and our duties. While Kyle will be focusing more on the completion and construction of the orphanage, I will be working more with Vacation Bible School.

That's all for now, since we're busy moving out of our housing in State College and preparing for what is to come. Please keep each of us in your prayers throughout this summer.

Some specific prayer requests...

• Safety in our travels and in Peru
• Jesus Christ would be glorified through us
• Peace among our teammates
• Anxiousness to be gone
• No lost luggage!
• And an AWESOME trip for everyone!!!

More to come! :)
