A Note from John Hendee!


A Note from John Hendee!

How do you say thanks?


I was reflecting this past week on the number of people who help make it possible for us to be working in Trujillo, Peru.


First there is our Board. They are a group of people committed to missions not only in Peru but around the world. Between them they are also involved in projects in Africa, Europe, Russia, 10-40 window, South America, Central America, and more. They give their time and energy to what we are doing. They give of their wisdom and years of experience. We are so grateful for them.


Then there are the Big Sisters churches. These are the churches that are the major supporters for what is going on in Peru. They fund that part of the work. There are 13 of them and they give from $1000 to $3000 a month to support this grand project. We couldn't do it without them. Several of them also help support Carla and I, Mike and Danell, and Tony and Kelley. They are fantastic. Plus they send teams down during the year to help out in Peru and several donate to special projects such as buying cows, or helping build chimneys in poor houses.


Then there are the many churches that help support Team Expansion. That provides the support all three U.S. couples mentioned above need to be able to work on the mission.


We couldn't work with them.


On top of that there are a couple foundations that give annually and are major partners with us in Peru.


Hope for Kids through their donors gives thousands of dollars every year to help sponsor needy children.


Wow, what a huge team of generous, committed people.

We have discovered that generosity is not a global trait.

But God has blessed us with generous, committed people.

Thanks God.

Thanks to all of you.
