It’s been quite sometime since I posted a blog or left the
country and both are happening in the 
next 60 days! Yup, that’s right I just booked a ticket to the jungles of
Iquitos, Peru to work with street boys.
I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity. For a year I traveled the world with my
dear friend Kristen McKee who went on and on about these boys in Iquitos. We traded stories especially when we
spent the month at Canaan in Haiti and were around kids close to my heart.
Before I continue however, let me back up and give you a
little update on my life. I have
been living in NJ for a little over a year now. I am an Assistant Manager at Starbucks
and love my job. It is a great
balance of relationships and business and it challenges me daily. I love constantly being on the go,
getting to talk to people, and leading a team! I have gotten involved with a great church
that ironically has the exact same name as my old church in Charlotte, NC. It is Hope Community and I’m
enjoying getting to know families in the church. I
also have gotten plugged into a great ministry with inner city kids through the
Helping Hands Rescue Mission in Philadelphia. The community of volunteers has been great and really my
source of community and fellowship here in South Jersey.
The real reason for this update however is the 9 day mission
trip to Peru. The trip dates are
July 29th-August 7th.
The trip is led by Not Forgotten, a 501(c)3 non-profit, based out of
Birmingham, AL. Not Forgotten believes in providing for
the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of impoverished, abandoned, and
oppressed people so that they may improve their quality of life,
�nd salvation in Christ, and be empowered to affect change in their communities. We will be
spending the week serving in Puerto Alegria, operated by Scripture Union, and
home to over 45 street boys. Our purpose is to primarily share the love of
Christ with the boys by helping with ongoing construction, doing VBS and
building relationships.
I am amazed at the Lord’s timing and how this all fell into
place. I’m very confident I’m
supposed to be a part of this team.
I’m trusting the Lord to work out all the details to get me there. I would be honored if you would consider supporting me prayerfully and financially on this trip. I need to raise $2000 by July 1st. Would you consider helping me? You can donate online at http://www.notforgotten.org/, just select Work Team Fund and put Liz Froba in the comments. You can also mail checks made out to Not Forgotten to 1111 Fern St. Homewood, AL 35209 Attn: Kristen McKee and put Liz Froba in the memo line.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and prayerfully considering being a part of this trip. Please pray that God would
unite our team, prepare us to serve, prepare the hearts of those we will meet
and provide for our needs. I promise to post pictures, blogs and stories upon
return. If you have any questions
my cell is 704.650.3177 and my email is [email protected]. Thanks again!
