I cannot believe it has been about five years since leaving Peru. I get to practice Spanish daily with my students here in Kansas, but one student in Peru is never far from my heart. I learned and worked beside Brayan the last couple years before the pandemic hit and do miss him and his family greatly. In the upcoming weeks his family will load a boat and head back to Pucallpa to finish the pastoral training program. Brayan, now a ten year old, will return to class with Amanda in Refugio de Esperanza (Refuge of Hope) a school founded to support learners with special needs. His siblings are now both school age and will join the regular classrooms at the same school. Living in town will help with the crazy transportation logistics that we faced when he was younger.
This young couple will be a light in an area of the world that most of us will never see. They are perfectly positioned to take the Word to the “ends of the earth,” and are a family that would appreciate your prayers and support as they live out a grace filled faith in a small community in the Amazon.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to support them financially. I can send funds to Vil that will help them on their journey and help them finish their pastoral program. We are also looking into a scholarship program that would help Brayan continue his education in the future.
