Mission Trip Hosting
God has uniquely gifted his children to serve Him. I Peter 4:10
We believe everyone has a place in foreign missions. Whether it is a week or a lifelong commitment, everyone can get involved in spreading the love of the gospel in the global world we live in. We have loved having the priviledge of hosting groups throughout the years. If you choose to spend time with us in Peru, you will experience an entire new culture. It is important you come into this with no expectations, as well as a humble heart. These mission trips are not meant for you to show off or just do something for the social media post.
Here are just a few of the things you will experience while visiting us in Peru:
New Life Children’s Home: Spoil and bond with children from the Home. You will be staying on the same property as the Home, and it is likely you will come to love these children and the community we have built here in Cieneguilla. You might come here hoping to be a blessing to the children, and leave finding that they were even more of a blessing to you.
Local Projects: While you are here, (and if you are able), you will be participating in many local projects to get involved with the community. Some of these might include, but are not limited to, building houses for members of our local church, painting around the Children’s Home, helping our construction team with projects, and passing out supplies to the homeless.
Evangelistic outreaches–There are many wonderful open doors to take the gospel where there are no churches and to people who have never heard the Gospel.
University and Public School Ministries— We have been in several public schools over the years and have seen thousands profess to come to Christ, and even more presented with the true plan of Salvation.
Holding tanks–This is where abandoned children are placed until the authorities can place them in “institutions.” We take Bibles, food, and other necessities they might need, then we get to spend time with the children and share the gospel .
Village Work–You can be apart of taking the gospel to un-churched areas, and experience the excitement of large outdoor meetings with hundreds of kids and adults. This is just a part of what you will experience in the local villages. It is amazing how kind and open the people are, and the hunger they have to hear the truth.
Medical Campaigns–This is especially for doctors, nurses, dentists, professionals, and those willing to serve along side helping, as we go into some of the poorest areas and set up mobile clinics.
Homeless outreach–We (as a group) purchase heavy wool blankets and give them out with Bibles and tracts to people living on the streets. We go out at night and find people sleeping on and under benches, in trash dumps, doorways, sidewalks, parks, under bridges and wherever we can to share with them the love of Christ. There are so many wonderful stories of people of all ages, that we’ve been able to help sleeping on the streets with no one to love them. Several of the groups that have come to visit us go with us as we cover them with a nice warm blanket and share Christ’s love for them.
Soup kitchens–We praise the Lord that we have started several new bus routes here in Cieneguiila this year. Two of these new routes in very poor areas and have families who have very little to almost nothing to eat. Along with Sister Peggy Moran working these routes every Sunday morning(when she is here in Peru) and doing Bible studies in both every week, we have also been taking rice, vegetables, and other items to help feed these families. These are like neighborhood kitchens (mostly just set up outside) where the people who live in a particular area can help their neighbors in need. It has been a joy to see what God has done through Sister Peggy and our ministries here to help feed these families and through this, many have come to know Christ as their Savior! Please continue to pray that soon we will be able to build our portable soup kitchen and take this into different areas giving out soup, bread, and most importantly the Gospel! Hallelujah!
Police & Military Base Outreaches–We’ve seen God open the door for us to take groups and share the Gospel to several Police Stations and Military Bases. We have seen many saved through these ministries.

If you feel the Lord would have you to help with any of these ministries please send your support or donations to our support address (CMC) c/o the Kennedy Family along with a note of how you would like to designate your gift. All donations and support given for these ministries will solely be used as designated.
Please pray for us, and the wonderful opportunities that we have to work with and host groups throughout the year. We have many exciting things scheduled, but what is so rewarding and amazing is to see God work opening doors, touching hearts, and changing lives!
Blessings,
The Kennedys
