Missions Outreach

Hello from Youth Quests,

I am writing to let you know the progress of the Peru project we are involved with in Piura, the current needs and prayer requests, as well as, our future plans for this project.

The previous team was mainly an evangelistic team, but the money was raised for the home expansion project, and the team had worked on some crucial and much needed improvements for a church member’s home.  The family had five children and lived in a small one room area that was enclosed by cornstalks and some plaster in the front and the neighbor’s walls on the sides and very little for the back wall.  The father is a fisherman that is gone for a month or more at a time.  The team was able to build three extra rooms on the house and put new tin on the roof of the home.  We were involved in ministry to the local people as well.

Project Updates & Prayer Requests

(Will you pray about the following needs? The dollar amounts mentioned are still needed for the projects.) For donations go to: http://hopeforhaiti.shutterfly.com/news 

Water Well
While we were there, we were able to talk with some government officials about drilling a well in preparation for the orphanage we are planning on building there in the area.  Even though they said that they only drill on government or public lands, they agreed to drill the well for a very reasonable $2000.00 for the orphanage project.  We are praising the Lord for a good source of water for the orphanage and ministry in the future.

Poultry Business
The team that arrived in Torbeck on July 18th will be working on building the poultry business. The aim of this business is supporting the pastors to be self-sustaining in working with the local people and income generating for the operation of the orphanage.  As of right now, we are currently $2000 short on funds to get this poultry business fully up and running complete with facilities, equipment, chicks and feed. 

Orphanage Projection
We are currently in contact with a Christian man who has been building several homes in Haiti in cooperation with the Haitian government.  He has agreed to build the orphanage in this area employing local people and using good materials for the low cost of $15 per square foot!  Our goal is to start with a 2000 square foot facility that would only cost $30,000; then with the water available, the orphanage would be in a good position to be a blessing to many in that area.

Adoption in Progress
Orphans in this area need hope and a future; currently we can help an orphan girl be adopted into a Christian family in the USA with your help.  The lawyers in the country have been working on the adoption. All the family needs is another $3,000.00 to complete the adoption process.
