In 2006, Peru Mission sent a letter to Twin Lakes
which included the following:
"...Here in Peru, God has seen fit to send many children to our churches. For instance, our newest
church planting effort in the Arevalo community has more than half its Sunday morning attendance in children.
It is not uncommon for 60 children to show up without their parents for Lord's Day worship and Sunday School.
The Arevalo community is not alone; we also have high attendance of youth at all our churches. God has given us
an amazing opportunity to reach the next generation for Christ..."
"...We are convinced that one of the ways the gospel would have an immense impact in the lives of
thousands of children is to mimic your summer camp program here in Peru. It is staggering to consider
the possibility that in one generation, Trujillo can be transformed into a society filled with
converted and committed Christians."

During the first week of January 2009, in the midst of the South American summer, 25 short-term team members headed to Peru for the purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with 145 Peruvian children. Lives were changed, churches strengthened, faiths deepened and
relationships developed. 

The mission of Twin Lakes Camp is to provide a fun, outdoor environment for children to experience new activities and learn what it means to glorify God with their life. For four days the team coordinated 30+ Peruvian volunteer camp counselors from three church-plants, and children from three different congregations, as well as a partner orphanage in Trujillo, in an amazing array of activities including horseback riding, face-painting, archery and swimming.  Each day the children learned of creation, centered around the week's theme verse: "In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth." - Genesis 1:1

Not only was it an unforgettable experience for the children, who would normally
never have access to such an event, but it was an opportunity to reach out to their parents, and to develop leadership and unity among the churches in Trujillo.

Thank you to all who have been involved in prayer support, financial support,
confidence, and so many other ways! God has used you as well in this ministry!
