Read This and Pray!

Friends!

I’m going back to Peru! It’s been three years since the last time I was there in April of 2005. It is such a blessing to me that so many people who were a part of my team then are still a part of my life now. And, I am so thankful for the amazing people the Lord has brought into my life in the last three years! I love you all so much!

This trip is completely different from anything I’ve done before. This June (June 13-23), I’ll be translating for doctors, nurses and dentists on a medical/dental trip in Talavera, Peru. We will be working with local Peruvians as well as Quechua Indians.

I desperately need your prayers for a few things about this trip. First, my Spanish. I don’t know a whole lot of medical words in Spanish. I am committed, though, to spending the next three months working on that area of the language. Pray for the hearts of the people we will be working with. Pray that as they see our desire to help them physically, they will know it comes from what Jesus has done for us and that we long for them to know Him too. Lastly, pray for the finances of the trip. My portion is $1750, which covers airfare, housing, food and project expenses. I know that the God who called me to this team is the same God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills - and the hills they stand on - and that He will provide the money. Pray that those the Lord calls to give financially toward the trip will follow His lead. I ask you, too, to pray about the Lord’s leading in this area for you, also. If He has called you to give, make checks payable to Grace Fellowship Church, write “Hetherington Peru 0806” in the memo line and mail it to me.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I know from so many past trips that there are moments, hours and complete days where your prayers are felt physically. I know I said it before, but I do love and appreciate you so much!
