Church Planting In Peru
Julie Murphy grew up as a missionary kid in Guatemala until her family moved to Marietta, GA when she was twelve years old. From a young age she has had a love for Latin America and its people. As her understanding of the gospel and God's mercy have grown through her years at Samford University and beyond, God has continued to lay foreign missions on her heart. In 2000 Julie went to Peru with her church, Oak Mountain Presbyterian, to work with abandoned street children and to help translate for the medical team.
The Lord has opened the opportunity for Julie to be a part of an American-Peruvian church planting team in Lima, Peru. These churches will incorporate God's love through the teaching and preaching of His word and living out the gospel in mercy ministries to the poor. Their work will focus on spreading the gospel to the 250,000 street children and meeting needs within the church plants.
Psalm 72:12-13 says, "For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death."
