So back in Peru when we were leaving Chincha and heading to Bolivia, God gave me a revelation that changed everything. He placed a passion in my heart that redefined the meaning of my life. He's given me meaning.
As we road on the bus back to Lima from Chincha, I began to recap the month and as I did so God began to reveal my heart to me. I have an extraordinary passion for the boys of Peru. Most of them end up getting involved in gangs as young as seven years old. This breaks my heart.
In Chincha I remember talking to a 10 year old girl who was describing to me the dangers that are in her town. All of them involve young boys and gangs. She said that in the afternoons the fathers of these young boys will take them out and teach them how to shoot people, and drown them in the ocean. I don't understand how or why any father would be able to do such a thing to his own child, but that is the way life is in Peru.
The vision that God gave me on that bus ride back was the ministry I am going to create. I'm going back to Peru! I want to create an organization that will empower and enable the boys in Peru to pursue and seek out the dreams that they have and give them an opportunity to stay out of the gangs. I don't know how it's going to happen, or when, but I know that God is calling me to this! Please pray for the boys of Peru.
