I saw your blog because it was shared on FB by some missionary friends of mine. I just wanted to drop you a note of encouragement to let you know that I will be praying for you and your team while you are in Lima. The work there, especially the health fairs, hold a special place on my heart for several reasons. First, I served as a GEO missionary in Lima from 2012-2014 as my Deaconess internship. I was privileged to be part of the team that started Castillo Fuerte in La Victoria when we hosted the first health fair there in the park. Many Peruvian friends there are still dear to me, though there are many new faces serving there too, which also fills me with joy. The mission there looks very different in some ways, from the time I was a new missionary, yet the mission of bringing Christ to families in that huge, diverse, beautiful, dusty, amazing city remains the same. Thank you for your heart to serve there, in a place so very ripe for harvest. With love and many prayers, Deaconess Rachel (Powell) Jaseph
