The link above is a place where folks in Topeka can practice their Spanish. If you are able to attend, a month of practicing Spanish goes a long way!

Prayer for Peru Missions

Prayer for a Blessed Journey
by Matt Powell

Loving God, you are perfect power, perfect truth, and perfect grace;
we trust in you and find true rest in your perfect peace. We ask for
your blessing on this journey and seek with thankful hearts to be part
of what you have blessed. Give us a willingness to go where you would
have us go, grant us the capacity to embody your abundant mercy and
compassion, and guide our activities as we strive to do not our will
but yours. May our desires be your pleasure, may our stories be your
story. In all we do may your love shine as light to illuminate our
path, and through it all may your living presence be a balm of healing
in a needful world. May we be able to respond, to give and to receive
all that you would have us share. We abide in you, our loving God, as
you abide in us, one fellowship in communion with all the Saints
through the Covenant of the One: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
