Mission Peru

by Ray Majoran

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the 2016 Mission Peru trip! From March 11 through March 19, we will be hanging out in Trullio, Peru. It seems like only a few short months ago when we began planning the 2016 trip; now it’s here!

My name is Ray Majoran and I’m your official media guy for the trip. For me, this will be my fourth trip to Peru. (2010, 2012, 2014, 2016) 

There are a few ways you can follow alongside us over the next week.

1. The website: www.missionperu.ca. This will be your best source of up-to-date information including photos, updates, blogs and video.
2. Twitter: @missionperu. The news feed on the front of the Mission Peru website is actually powered by Twitter. If you’d prefer to just add us to Twitter, feel free.
3. Our Official Facebook Group: www.missionperu.ca/facebook. This is an awesome place to hang out and engage with others.
4. Instagram: @missionperu. I won’t be posting a ton on Instagram that you won’t already see on the website, but if that’s your social media language, definitely subscribe to it. Additionally, I will likely be posting some bonus photos on my personal Instagram feed which you can find at @raymajoran.

I would encourage you to write comments on the blog posts and/or our Facebook page. Each day, I will take the opportunity to read a number of them to the group during our devotional time in the morning. Note that when I’m reading the comments, I’ll often refrain from using names so that the entire team can be encouraged, instead of just one individual. If there’s something *extremely important* that you want me to specifically relay to someone here on the ground, send me a private Facebook message.

As far as “when” I’ll be posting stuff, it will vary. Based on my experience from previous trips, it will probably be either very late at night, or in the wee hours of the morning. Remember (after Spring Forward tonight) Peru will be 1 hour behind EST. Most blog entries, videos and photos for the day will be posted by 2am Peru-time / 3am EST. Therefore, I’d suggest that instead of waiting up at night hoping to see the daily updates, that you get a good night’s rest and visit the website over a cup of coffee (or two) in the morning.  The other unknown is Internet. If we go a day or two where you haven’t seen any updates, don’t worry about it! The Internet is very touch-and-go in Peru, so “no updates” simply means “no Internet”. I will do my absolute best to try and get something new up every day (even if it’s just a message in the Twitter feed saying, “Internet sketchy. Things are going great.”)

Thank you for your continued prayers. May God use us to encourage the people of Trujillo and to edify Him in all that we do.

Sincerely,

Ray Majoran
Your Official Media Guy for the 2016 Trip
