This summer is going to be huge and busy for me. In nine days, the Sister Lakes team (including my mom and I) leaves for Pucallpa, Peru. We will be there June 10-20. While in Pucallpa, my mom and I will be ministering as part of a village team. We'll go to villages near Pucallpa and tell Bible stories and sing songs with the kids. We'll also be helping the construction team at least one day.
This trip costs us about $2000 each, and we currently have only around half of our support. Please pray with us that it comes in. My mom has been blessed with a teaching job this year that will cover what support we don't raise, but we would love to raise as much of our core support as possible. IF you are interested in helping us with this, you can make out a check to "Sister Lakes Community Church," with "Ellen and Alyssa Hobson- Peru Trip" in the memo line. Then, send said check to:
Sister Lakes Community Church
67119 State Route 152
Dowagiac, MI 49047
But even more importantly, we need your prayer. Please consider praying for us while we are on this trip. I know God is going to move in HUGE ways, and our prayer team is a huge part of that.
If you want to get email updates from us while we're in Peru, feel free to leave your email address as a comment on this note. Updates will also be posted on a blog: www.alyssaperu2009.blogspot.com
This brings me to PART TWO of my huge and busy summer! For the first time, I will be serving on staff at Hiawatha Youth Camp. I will be there from June 24-August 8. I am incredibly, incredibly excited for this. For years, the Hiawatha staff has ministered to me each summer and helped to make me who I am. The fact that I get to be a part of that is absolutely mind-blowing to me.
I would absolutely LOVE it if you would write me letters while I'm at Hiawatha! Letters, packages, pictures, cookies, etc... all are welcomed with open arms :D. Aaandd, I WILL write back!
The address is:

In closing (I'm a debater, what can I say?), I'd like to please ask you to pray for me this summer.
Pray specifically for:

Pray specifically for:
- Unity amongst our Peru team
- Safe travel to, from, and in Peru
- A smooth transition from Peru to Hiawatha- I'll have 3 days to repack
- Good dynamics between the staff; that we would remember that we are FIRST and FOREMOST there to serve God and the campers.
- The campers who will be attending Hiawatha
