I’m leaving early tomorrow for Peru. I’ll be leading a small mission team from my church to meet with the leaders of the Reap North Peru strategy. The Reap North IMB team has an incredible partnership strategy. They link individual churches from North America with unevangelized people groups in their area. They ask for churches to make 5-year commitments as “missionaries” to a single people group, sending three or four small teams each year in an attempt to evangelize and facilitate a church planting movement within that group.
This is our first trip … our “vision trip.” It is very ambassadorial in nature. We are going to meet with the handful of Christians in the Ambo-Pasco Quehua indians high up in the Andes Mountains. They are a tiny contingent of the family of God among a people who remain 98.5% unevangelized. We are going to meet and see how we can assist them in reaching their people with the message of Jesus Christ.
Please pray for me and team members Matt Ladd, Ramona Alexander, and Kristina Gandy from the Crossroads Fellowship (SBC) in Cadiz, Kentucky. I’ll try to check in sometime during the week if I can get access to the web. If I’m not able to do so, I’ll be back on my blog on Sunday, January 28, with lots of stories to tell.

Thanks, guys!
I’m in Lima now … blogging away on the computer at the IMB guest house. We’re training and receiving our orientation today. We launch out on our 10+ hour trek into the Andes tomorrow AM. Pray for our group! I’ll post some news later in the week.
