It's Time to Go!
It's pretty much go time! Our first group is heading down Saturday, followed by others that will be going down Tuesday (7/28/2009), Wednesday (7/29/2009), and Saturday (8/1/2009). We are going down in waves this year as people are doing some exploring before we head to the mission field in Piura on Sunday (8/2/2009). The Harper's are lucky enough to start the day at 04:00 AM to make a 07:00 AM flight to Lima. Then from Lima to Chiclayo at 21:00 that night followed by a 10 hour (ouch!) bus ride to see Chachapoyas. It's going to be a long trip. Please pray for us as we head over to Piura and start the soccer and volleyball work that we will be doing with a local church there.
