Dear Friends & Family,
I’m excited to share that my 10-year-old son, Levi, and I will be serving on a mission trip to Iquitos, Peru, from June 15–26, 2026, with World Family Missions as part of the People of Peru Project.
Last year, I had the opportunity to serve in Peru with my husband and our son. It was an incredible experience where we saw God working in powerful ways. Levi had planned to join us, but he became sick just before the trip and had to stay home. That makes this year especially meaningful, as he now gets the chance to come with me.
During our time in Peru, we were deeply impacted by the people we met. Their strong sense of community and genuine joy—despite difficult living conditions—left a lasting impression on my heart. I’ve continued praying for them throughout the year and am so grateful for the opportunity to return.
This year, we will be serving through children’s ministry (VBS), outreach efforts, and supporting local communities and churches. I am especially excited to spend time with the kids, share the love of Jesus, and reconnect with the girls at Poppy’s House Orphanage.
This mission requires both prayer and financial support, and we would be honored to have you partner with us:
Prayer Requests:
• Safe travel and good health
• Open hearts to the Gospel
• Meaningful connections with the children and families we serve
• That God would move powerfully in the lives of those we encounter
Financial Support:
We are trusting God to provide the funds needed to cover airfare, lodging, meals, and ministry expenses for the trip. Cost is $2500 for me and a little less for Levi. If you would like to donate please use this link:

With gratitude,
