Many of you have asked "how can we help" well here is one way. As most
of you know I spent some time in Peru researching what living
arrangements would look like for our family while living in Peru for
the next two years. I looked at several rental units that I did not
think would fit the bill and also found that rent was going to be a
lot higher than I had originally thought. Another option that we had
was a house that our director in Peru, Lucho owned that is in the
process of being built and not complete at this time When I returned
home and talked to Tom Clark the director of Junglemaster about the
house he told me that Lucho was wanting to sell the house to us and we
both decided that it would probably be a good investment. We now own a
house in Nauta that needs to be completed. How much does a house in
Nauta, Peru cost you may ask? $13,000.00 would be the answer.
Junglemaster has been wanting to purchase a house in Nauta for quite
some time this purchase affords Junglemaster many benefits the first
being a rent free house for me and my family to live in for two years.
Secondly as I stated before this house is not complete yet so this
means we can complete it closer to North American standards (electric
fans, screened in for bug protection things of that nature) Also this
house can be set up for a resting place for short term teams heading
into the jungle, and also this will be a place we can have secure
storage of all our gear we need for short term mission trips. We also
are going to need some funds to help with finishing the house. Me and
Lucho roughed out finishing the house at around $6000.00 The house has
side walls and a nice roof and me and Amy are willing to go down and
live in it in tents as we finish the house. The only thing that we
would like to really be done before we live in the house is a place
for Amy to cook and the toilet to be working. We ask that you might
prayerfully consider donating to help us with this project.
Thanks for all the help and support, the McGees
