Mancora…

I have a guest blogger tonight.  Her name is Cheryl Jones.  Ms. Jones currently teaches middle school English at Crossroads Christian Academy (same school I’m at).  But it’s what she did last summer that you should read tonight.

Cheryl was the photographer and blogger for last year’s Crossfire Mancora Peru mission trip that Pepper went on.

Pepper was scared, a bit, to go on this trip, but confided in me that God wanted him there…so we raised the money and he went!  Pepper was a hit with the young locals there playing football (American) and tossing kids around and just helping out.

Well, when it came time for turning in applications this year for the coming summer trip back to Mancora, I asked Pepper to pray about it for a couple days before getting back to me with whether or not he wanted to go.  So after a couple days, on our way to La Mulita (the family truck) to go to school, Pepper said he wanted to go.  So we printed out the application and turned it in as quickly as possible!

Anyway, I’d like for y’all to prayerfully read Ms. Jones blog about last year’s mission trip at http://crossfireperu.blogspot.com so you can have an idea of what all was going on there last year that Pepper got to be a part of.  Afterwards, if you feel so lead to help with the cost of sending Pepper to Peru, please inquire with either me or Allison as to the best way to go about donating.  The long of the short of it is this…you can either send aid to RCE (see Support page) and write a message that it’s for Pepper’s mission trip, or you can send a check to us in Panama…if you choose the latter (sending an actual check) please either contact me at mike.pilliod@gmail.com or Allison at allisonpilliod@gmail.com so we can get the correct hoops for you to jump through!

With that said, copy/paste the web address into your browser or click the link above and go to the oldest blog post from Cheryl Jones about the Mancora mission trip, and be blessed while reading chronologically through their trip!

See ya!
