Dear Friends, Supporters, Prayer Warriors,

In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory let it be said of me
My source of strength my source of hope
Is Christ alone

This song by Brian Littrell and really captures for us the glory of Christ and His power through this whole process of preparation and support raising. It is incredible to recognize God's timing in allowing us to leave for Peru the week after the glorious celebration of our Savior's resurrection at Easter! It makes so much sense because Christ's resurrection is the whole reason we are going to Peru. It is our source of strength and hope and the only answer for the lost children in Peru. Thank you for joining us in worship as we consider God's majesty and power in providing all that we need to leave for the field on Thursday, April 27th.

Thank you also for joining us in prayer as we embark on an adventure that includes a wild amount of transition for our family. We need for you to be on the front lines in prayer over the next several weeks and months on our behalf.

Please pray:

• for health and safety during travel
• that the language school would be able to find us a place to live very soon
• that our minds would be quick to learn Spanish
• that Kayla and Bella would adjust quickly
• for our team in Lima as some are raising support in the States and some are continuing ministry among the church plants
• that God would provide a friend for each of us, a kindred spirit and prayer partner
• that God would continue to give us harmony as a family since we are heading out of our comfort zone and into potentially stressful environments, that our eyes would be fixed on Christ
• that God would guide us as we finish packing and say our "good-byes"
