We start a tour of three states on April 4. We fly to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to visit with some dear friends of mine (Sandy) from Hillsdale College and TCA. From there we head to Tucson to meet with some homegroups and speak at a Spanish/English RCA church in Phoenix. Our last stop is Colorado Springs, which was my home for five years before moving to Peru.
Of course the main purpose is partnership development. It’s a necessary part of our life now. As I’ve mentioned before, we get excited the more we share; it’s fun to share our vision and see others catch that dream. We couldn’t do our work at La Casa del Maestro without the prayer and financial support that so many give. It’s one of the many ways that God brings together Christ’s body. We truly believe that and rejoice in that. It’s also humbling and character building. God works in the midst of something that is definitely difficult for us. The fundraising is a necessary component, but I am so excited to just see so many friends included in this trip. Who can beat seeing Texas with friends, reminiscing with friends from Peru (in AZ), and going “home” to Colorado. And, along the way we get to make new friends while meeting pastors and missions team members at the different churches. I like the new terminology for fundraising, partnership development. It’s true that ministry is done in partnership, how much better when those partners are first and foremost, friends
