In 2023, many of you shared my travel experiences with me on my solo adventure throughout Israel and Jordan. God had me depart Israel just in time to move me out of harms way when the attacks occurred.
Welcome to WanderPeru.net
This year, I am excited to share a mission adventure! I will be travelling with the Birchman Baptist worship team to Lima Peru, July 21 to July 28. This is a large mission team (34 people) that will be traveling to various communities in Lima, ranging from the poorest areas to the wealthiest neighborhoods, to share the love of Christ through music, worship, and fellowship. I am reaching out to ask for your support—both in prayer and, if possible, financially—to help make this mission a reality.
During our time in Lima, we will be working with local churches and ministry partners to hold a worship service every night at a different location. Our goal is to minister to people from all walks of life, bringing hope and encouragement through music and the message of God’s love. Whether we are in a humble community with limited resources or a more affluent area, our mission remains the same: to connect with people, share the Gospel, and build relationships that reflect Christ’s compassion and grace.
Since I’m not a singer and my musical abilities are also suspect, I will help the team as a roadie as well as documenting the entire trip. I don’t quite have a plan yet, but watch this space for more information.
Here are two ways you can partner with me:
- Prayer Support: Please pray for our team as we prepare for this trip, for safe travels, and for open hearts—both ours and those we will meet in Lima. Pray that God will use our worship services to touch lives and that we will be sensitive to His leading in every interaction. Look for a prayer list on this site soon!
- Financial Support: The total cost of the trip for the whole team is $2000 per person, which includes airfare, accommodations, meals, and ministry supplies. If you feel led to contribute, any amount—whether $25, $50, or more—it would be a great blessing!

I’m grateful that you are a part of my life!
