For those of you who are familiar with Project New Hope International, you know me and my wife Carla. For those who are new to our ministry I would to take the opportunity to tell you who we are and what we are doing in Trujillo, Peru. My name is John Hendee and the beautiful woman pictured with me is my wife Carla. I am the Executive Director of PNHI and was one of the founders of the project when it was formed over five years ago.My role as Executive Director of Project New Hope International has been to be a leader for all of our missionaries on the ground in Trujillo. Since 2007 I have made 26 separate trips in country to help lend support to our team there.
Now let me fill you in on what has been happening in country! While Project New Hope International was established over five years ago, the work on the ground in Trujillo has actually been underway for a little over three years. While we have had some failures in the early years of the project, the movement to “win one city at a time in Peru for Christ” is well underway. We have seen far more successes than failures during our time there. And we really feel that more progress will be made since we made some minor changes to our team in Trujillo.
Let me share some of the success that really have us excited about what we are doing in Trujillo. At present we have over 1500 people involved in weekly home oral Bible story groups. We are working in the poor areas, in the city, reaching out to university students, working in forming businesses (i.e. we have a dairy farm) and we are working with many other groups in common ventures. We are also working on opening a clinic and building a Women's Village for battered women and others in crisis.
God has truly blessed Project New Hope International with a great team. I encourage you to take some time looking through the pages of our website. Get to know each of the members and add them to your prayer list. You will find a link to Project New Hope Internationals webpage on this blog.
Finally, I want to give you an idea what you can expect from this blog. Each week you will be getting an update from key leaders in the project. In September, they will introduce themselves to you. And then in following months each leader will update you on what is happening in his particular area. Next week you will get a chance to know Mike Butka better. Mike is our Field Team Leader. After that you will hear from Tim Coop. Tim is beginning a new endeavor with Project New Hope International. He will be involved in helping our City Church expand. Then, Nestor Silva will report on the progress of the businesses. And finally, months that have 5 weeks, Eric Malave will report on his activities. Eric is working as my associate.
All in all, our goal as a group is to do more to keep you informed of the great things God is doing in Peru. The blog is one way to keep you informed. Another way is through our “Prayer Page.” Please visit our prayer pages often for our specific prayer requests.
Thank you for your interest in Project New Hope International! And God bless you all!
In Him,
John & Carla Hendee
