Welcome to the Advocates' Peru Tour website.

Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Peru from the 5th to the 16th of February 2008 to see the work of Compassion.
Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Peru and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

Well I have washed Peru out of my clothes but will never be able to wash Peru out of my soul.

I'm missing my travelling friends very much and am finding it quite strange to be home. Carpets and wooden flooring seem somewhat excessive. The 28 degree temp difference is quite difficult to adjust to also! Its freezing here quite literally. Brrr
Oh that my church had 18 pastors and needed to move into a large tent and hold 5 services on a Sunday simply to accomodate everyone.

What a contrast to 3 parishes joined into one through lack of numbers attending. How rich in Spirit are the believers in Peru and how poor are we.
So I guess it's in more ways than one that they are hot and we are cold.

Hey Maria
Think inflatable Llama!!!
And remember the JOY in their eyes and deeds.
We are and we can continue to make a difference and dont let the thief steal any of the blessings we recieved away.
