HIGHLIGHTS FROM MT. VERNON BAPTIST YOUTH TEAM 2026 🇵🇪

What an incredible two weeks of ministry! We were so blessed to welcome the youth from Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Boone, NC, as they served alongside Rooted In Grace & Love in Peru. Day after day, this team traveled long hours to minister to families, youth, and children. They helped lead outreach ministries in several remote villages, where hundreds gathered to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. They shared their testimonies, led worship in both Spanish and English, spent one-on-one time with students during college English classes, and faithfully shared the love of Christ wherever they went.

Some of the sweetest moments happened late at night as we gathered together to share our “God moments” from the day. The friendships formed and the time spent with the youth at Project Hope will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The team also spent time with the boys at the children’s home hiking many miles together. What a special gift it was to share meals, laughter, and delicious ice cream!

And then came our annual youth camp! This incredible team of 21 helped lead five unforgettable days of camp, where 115 local high school students gathered together 24 hours a day to learn how God can transform their lives through His love, grace, and mercy. We were humbled and overjoyed to see many place their faith and hope in Christ alone. Throughout these two weeks, we had the privilege of witnessing God’s faithfulness as His Word was preached to hundreds of people across Peru. God is so faithful!

Thank you, Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, for faithfully praying, supporting, and sending these young people to Peru to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are incredibly grateful for every student, leader, prayer warrior, and family who made this mission possible. To God be all the glory!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM MOUNTAIN ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH TEAM 🇵🇪
We love our Mountain Road Baptist Church family so much! We are incredibly thankful for their faithful love, prayers, and support through the years. This past week was filled with so many special memories as we traveled together to Project Hope, visited families, and shared the hope of Jesus Christ in the surrounding villages. Their team of four also helped prepare supplies for our upcoming youth camp and faithfully served wherever there was a need. From ministering to children in the elementary schools to helping prepare and serve hot meals for the students in need, their servant hearts were a tremendous blessing to our ministry team and to the people of Peru. We praise God for this sweet friendship and for allowing us to serve together for His glory. Thank you, Mountain Road Baptist Church, for loving our family and faithfully investing in the ministry of Project Hope Peru. Please continue to join us in praying daily for Project Hope Peru as we seek to share the Gospel and make disciples.

Highlights from the Collide Team
& the Jarvis Family ❤️

What an incredible week serving alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ! We are so thankful for the Collide Team and the Jarvis Family for answering God’s call and faithfully serving with Rooted In Grace & Love. Throughout the week, we witnessed countless God moments as team members boldly shared the Gospel with students, individuals, and families across the community. Their servant hearts, joyful attitudes, and willingness to meet every need reflected the love of Christ in such a powerful way. Whether serving meals, encouraging others, praying with people, or simply taking time to listen, they demonstrated God’s unconditional love through both their words and their actions. It was a blessing to watch lives be touched and to see God’s hand leading every step of the journey. We praise Him for the opportunities He gave us to be His hands and feet and to share the hope found only in Jesus. Thank you, Collide Team and the Jarvis Family, for loving so well, serving so faithfully, and making an eternal impact. We are grateful for each of you and will continue praying that God blesses you as you return home. God is so faithful!
