Lucille's Adventures in Peru: November 2010

Well, I am home for a visit to raise funds, visit my supporting churches and enjoy the holidays with my family. The first time I raised support to go to the mission field the Lord used it as a huge faith building experience as I was constantly in awe of how He brought the money in and got me to the field so quickly! It was a great time of encouragement and reassurance that I was indeed in His will.

And here I am again, two years later, raising support and wanting to return to Peru for 2 more years. Again, fund raising is a faith building experience. This time it has been more of faith that the Lord will provide in His own time, reminders that I need to be patient, reassurance that I am also called to work at this fund raising (it doesn't come in on its own!). I am thankful that the Lord has called me to serve Him in Peru and now am home to raise the money to return for another 2 years. I will be in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi. I would love to come and visit your church or talk to you about Peru Mission and what God is doing in Peru! Please email me at alleenmclain@me.com if you would be interested in partnering with me.

In addition to the fund raising, I am getting the opportunity to visit family and friends. It has been great to be home and see my family. I arrived Halloween day and got to enjoy some traditional trick or treating. Also, it has allowed me time to reconnect with prior Peru Mission team members. Heather Calin Cunia are living here in Atlanta and I got the chance to have dinner with them and it was very encouraging to have a little bit of Peru in the US. We enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner, practicing my spanish, and then great conversation until late in the night as if we were still in Peru. And I still am looking forward to more family visits in MS and prior Peru Mission team member visits in Tennessee!
