June 24th is the start of our Seventh Annual Peru – Cross Street Youth Camp. This is a central event on our schedule each year, so it’s time once again to trust the Lord for His provision in taking these very special young people to camp. It’s where they’ll get to know God better through worship, bible teaching, and fellowship. Many of these youths come from homes in places like Pachacutec, a sandy slum, where they live in grinding third- world poverty.  At Peru – Cross Street Youth Camp, they’ll receive three meals a day for all four days, receive love and encouragement from our Cross Street Team and their church leaders, and find refuge from despair and a Living Hope for today and the future … HIT HERE TO READ MORE

LIVING BY FAITH – PERU MISSION UPDATE 

Most of what we do in this ministry, we do by faith. We see a need, we receive a leading from the Lord regarding it, and then we pray to meet the need by God’s grace and provision. We share the needs with you in our newsletters or with people we meet. Sometimes, God meets the need even before we can share it with you in our newsletter!

I will confess this to you. Sometimes it’s kind of “scary” knowing that the leaders we partner with, and the families they minister to, depend on us to keep our promises to help them in the midst of their poverty. These pastors and leaders are like family to us! They do the hard work on the mission field; we just assist them with it. And many of you assist them as well through your prayers and your gracious responses to the needs you read of in our newsletters.

Let me share one story with you about this process. Several weeks ago during a video conference with our Peruvian leadership team, I mentioned that we were ready to build a new church facility in Valle Verde. Valle Verde is one of the poorest areas we work in; the building there is literally falling apart! At that time I had no idea where the funds would come from. Nevertheless, I knew God desired us to take this step of faith. Over the years, we have learned that to go forward in our service to God, we must take steps of faith to help those in need. I shared this need with one of our supporters. He discussed it with his wife, and the next day he sent me a text asking how much we needed. I replied, and within minutes he wrote back saying, “We will cover it.” Hallelujah!

I get really excited knowing we can move forward in faith on something we feel so strongly about. We are so grateful to the couple who took that step of faith to meet this need in Valle Verde. We’re also thankful to, and thankful for, so many of you who have sacrificed over the years to help us share “God’s Message of Hope” in ways both practical and spiritual in Peru and beyond.

2011 was an awesome year for Message Ministries and Missions Inc. God allowed us to do so much, and we are so grateful to Him as we look back and see all the beautiful opportunities He gave to serve Him. This video is a photo synopsis of those things.

A special thank you goes out to all our mission team members and to all our supporters for your prayers and gifts! Without you these things would not be possible!

We’ve just found a better way to host our videos on the internet for easy access to all those interested in our mission work.  Check out the links below.

In December, we officially opened the Vocational Training Center in Lomas de Carabayllo. The first classes included basic training in carpentry and electrical wiring. When we left Peru, we placed an order with the VTC for two pre-fab homes. Since then, a group of men under the leadership of Pastor Gilberto has completed the production of the two homes. This is great news because we have a team coming to Peru in March…..  HIT HERE TO READ MORE

One part of our vision has been to help send out Peruvian Youth Mission Teams to different regions of Peru. That dream is about to come true! In February, we’ll help send out two youth teams to two different Peruvian destinations.   TEAM #1: Under the leadership of Pastor Jose Amaya and Marco Aroni, a team of 14 youth and leaders from the various churches ….

The team heading for Peru this March from Northside Christian School will be doing Eyeglass Clinic/Outreaches. In preparation for this ministry, we’ve ordered 600 pair of glasses. (We found a ministry that sells reader glasses for 50 cents each!) The Eyeglass Clinic/Outreach is a great and practical way of helping and reaching people. Many in poverty-stricken areas are ,,, HIT HERE TO READ MORE

We have added some updates to the website.  Please read or download our latest newsletter or view our newest videos.  This month we especially need help with the Christmas Blessing Project.  We are seeking to provide gifts for the children of Peru and a new set of clothes for the children of North India.  You can read more about this on our Christmas Blessing Project link of this page.

Also, please keep our team in prayer as we prepare to head back to Peru for the opening of the Able Hands Vocational Training Center.  Thank you for all you do in helping us reach the world with the love of Jesus Christ!

Would you help us share the love of Jesus this Christmas with needy children living in some very poor areas? It’s a really wonderful ministry to families in Peru, and we’ve sponsored this for several years now. Let me tell you more.

This year we’re trying to raise at least $3,000 to buy Christmas gifts ($2.00 each) for 1,500 children within reach of the fifteen churches we work with in the poorest regions of Peru. Funds for the Peru Christmas Blessing Project go directly to these churches. While this eliminates shipping expenses to Peru, it also means the Peruvian congregations who live and work with these kids on a daily basis get to purchase the gifts and give them away personally. They’ll be reaching out with the love of Jesus Christ to the people in their own communities, if we help.

Please consider partnering with us for the Peru Christmas Blessing Project. It’s an awesome opportunity to minister to the poor children of Peru. Again, our goal is to give gifts to 1,500 children. Every $30 will allow us to bless 15 children. Every $100 will bless 50 children. If you would like to help, please respond by mail, or click on the Christmas Blessing Project donation tab on this webpage.

Thank you for helping us bless these special children!
