God Bless my Ministry to Peru

March 5, 2007



Dear _________________________________,


Hi! As many of you know that on August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina happened and God then open the doors through the Salvation Army for me to go to Biloxi Mississippi to help out with the after math of this disaster. Ever since then God has laid it heavy upon my heart to explore the opportunities to go on a mission trips to a 3rd world country. It is my belief that every thing happens in Gods world in his time if we get out of his way and allow him to do his work. He will open doors for us when he feels the time is right.

Well I am excited to tell you that God answer pray and has presented a way for me to participate on a short-term mission’s team to Lima, Peru. Cedar Creek Community Church in Cambridge, International Care Facilitators (ICF, a non-denominational care giving agency), and Kids Alive have teamed together to provide this missions opportunity. We will be involved at the Lima Children’s Home, a group home for 40 children and the Manchay Care Center that is expanding their facilities to accommodate many more than their current 70 children into their day care program.

Please feel free to check out my personal blog site for information about the project at the following website
http://alexisbennett1961.blogspot.com/index.html As the project for this year progresses I will blog to keep everyone up to date as to what is happening.

Our scheduled departure is on August 10, 2007. During the 2 weeks in Lima we will have time to minister in a variety of ways with the children and the staff at both centers. Much of our time will be spent in assisting with the construction work at the Manchay Care Center. We are praying there will also be opportunities for me to use many of my other skills as well. Manchay is a very poor community on the outskirts of Lima. This will be a wonderful opportunity to get practical hands-on experience and exposure to the global mission field.

As a short-term missionary with ICF Ministries for this project, I have committed to help raise prayer and financial support for this work. $1,250 is needed for airfare by April 15th, and the remainder, $1750, by July 1st. If you are able to help out financially, please complete the form at the bottom of this letter and send to the address shown. The $3000.00 we raise helps to pay for our airfare, accommodations, food and for the ministry while we are there.

Specifically I am asking for your support of a $50.00 to $100.00 donation but any amount is truly appreciated. For the past few years I have asked your support towards the Relay for Life for the Canadian Cancer Society and this year instead I am asking for your support in helping to support this mission trip for me.

Most of all, I need your prayer support. If you can pray for me, please pray that:
1. I will be able to raise the $3000.00 to go on this mission trip
2. I will be a blessing to the members of my team and to others I contact.
3. I will learn what God has to teach me through this mission’s project.
4. God will grant me good health and safety as I travel
5. God will provide for all my needs.

God Bless you! And thank you for your support.
