Dear Friends and Family:

How are you doing? I am having a wonderful year at Pinckneyville Middle School, and want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to me.

From June 8 - June 15, God has offered me the chance to go to Guatemala with a group from Perimeter Church. On this mission trip, we will be reaching out and spreading the gospel to the Guatemalan people while also learning more about them.

This trip is being partnered with Medical Missions Ministries, which is focused on medical care. We will be assisting doctors at remote clinics, working in stations such as triage, pharmacy, and an eye clinic. We will also be assisting a dentist, and teaching VBS to the kids. But the most important part is working in counseling stations to share the gospel with the people receiving medical care.  

While God has opened up a door for me to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this compassion in several ways. First, you can help pray for me and my teammates. Pray that God will prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts. We will also need prayers that our financial needs will be met. At this time we need to raise $2,300 each to attend this trip, and that is quite a challenge!

Another way you can be involved is to help provide that financial support. Would you consider supporting me with a small donation?  Account information is shown below to support me through Perimeter Church’s website. I need to raise all my funds by June 1. If you prefer to write a check payable to Perimeter Church, I will send you a postage paid envelope. Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.

You may donate using the following link:

Donations are tax-deductible and must be made payable to Perimeter Church, who is training and sending the team and who requests that this be above your regular tithe and offerings to your local church. If I raise more than 100%, the additional funds will be allocated to the team fund, and, after that, used at the discretion of the Global Outreach Ministry Team.

I look forward to doing God's work in Guatemala and letting you know all about how God has worked through this team when I return in June.

God Bless,

Tripp Allen
