Back to Peru

April 16, 2010

Hi All,

I hope that this email finds you all doing well and blessed. I have been in the states since late December and during that time had the privilege to speak at several churches so have been kept pretty busy. I was able to go to Collin Creek Community Church in Dallas, Dayspring Church in New Braunfels and Simms Wesleyan in Simms, Louisiana and share a little bit about the work being done in Peru. I will have the pleasure of sharing in my home church of New Hope Church in Austin on May 2^nd.

Time has really flown by and I have really enjoyed my time here with friends and family. I think one of my favorite things about America is couches and other cushioned seating and have really enjoyed that part of life. Of course the food has been awesome… too awesome if you know what I mean.

I am writing now to let you know that I will be returning to Peru on May 3^rd. I will be going down with a medical mission’s team from Indiana Wesleyan. We will be going to several villages around the Yanashi area which is great as in that area it is a 24 hour boat ride to the nearest doctors so most do not receive medical care.

At the end of May the national superintendent and the district superintendent of Peru will be coming to Iquitos and we will be bringing all of the pastors from the river in for an intensive training.

Another team will be coming in early July to help do some repairs on the church building in Iquitos. It is in desperate need of repair and this team will be spending most of their time in Iquitos on a construction team. We are still in need of 2 men for this trip. Please go to the webpage www.districtmissions.org for more details and if you would like to go, please contact bobellis@grandecom.net or call 210-377-0500 to sign up.

The third team from the states will be coming down at the end of August until Labor Day to do some construction work in Tamshiyacu. They will be putting in a cement floor in the church and building a small home for the pastor that will be coming there. This is very exciting as the pastor will be Harol who will be our first student to graduate from the seminary in Chiclayo. We need 4 to 5 more people for this trip and you can sign up at www.districtmissions.org under the information tab.

It will be very difficult to once again leave my friends and family but I know that this is what God is calling me to do at this time of my life. It is so hard to leave all the comforts of home as it is a much more difficult life there but I cannot imagine not going. I thank you all for your continued support through prayers, emails and finances. By the way if you would like to contribute financially, a few details have changed. You can send checks to TX/LA District Missions 3701 W. Spring Creek Pkway, Plano TX 75023 Attn: Alden Griesbach. It is very important to put Kayleen Rosenquist, Peru Missions in the memo so that it goes to the right place. Once again I thank you all for everything and want to let you know you are making a difference in Peru.

In Christ,

Kayleen
