Update for January 2019

We are off to a great start for a new year!  We give praise to God that much support has come in and we are now down to only lacking $663/month to  be at 100% of our budget!  We are at 93%! We have a couple of missions conferences lined up and are working on scheduling a few more visits to churches this spring. So far we are fairly open. Meg and I are taking an online course in counseling this Spring with CCEF thanks to a generous donation from a good friend.

So far we have scheduled:

Redeemer Church in Jackson, MS February 22-24

Thompson Memorial in Centreville, MS March 1-3

Grace Presbyterian Church in Central, LA March 3 Evening Service

First Presbyterian Church in Jasper, AL May 19

Grace Presbyterian Church in Metairie, LA May 26

Our goal is to return to Peru by June 9
