Zion Lutheran’s Youth on a Mission have traveled the United States for
the last ten years to provide assistance to communities in need.
This year we are traveling to PISCO, Peru to help the small town ravaged
by an earthquake on August 15th,2007. The town has lacked the funds
and resources to replenish the facilities needed to provide daily meals
for the children, a work center for the people so they can create their
crafts for income, and roads for transportation.
A group of forty-eight people are pledging their time and resources to
work for ten days in PISCO in hopes of aiding this small town’s rehabilitation.
PrintJet of Rockford is trying to obtain building materials and funding in Peru
for us to begin the afore mentioned projects alongside the people of
PISCO.
Our goal is to raise $45,000 by the end of June to accomplish this
mission.
Anyone willing to donate towards our cause can send
monetary donations to Alpine Bank – Zion Lutheran Earthquake Relief
Fund.
We will also be sponsoring various fundraising events which will
be posted on the bulletin board.
As always we wish to thank you for
your support and keep us in your prayers.
