Power in Prayer

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Friends and fam... Hello hello! I hope 2020 is already off to an incredible start for you all. The start to a new year is always a special time but when it's a start to a new DECADE?! We are soooo thankful two of our best friends, Josh and Sarah were able to join us in Lima shortly after Christmas for a week. Having familiar faces here was so surreal and we still get dumb-smiles on our faces when we talk about what a special week it was. a couple quick updates before we get to the meat of this letter... We are deep in a season of preparation and planning...materials to share with the Yanesha… Read more >>

Dear Future McCanns,

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Dear Future McCann’s,              I’m writing this at the 9-month marker of living in Peru. Maybe we’ll have to refer to this for a reminder at the 9-month-1-week marker, or maybe in 10 years.

Remembering to Remember

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

“You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy”  (Exod. 31:12–13) I never really knew much about Sabbath. And then we moved to a South American culture and I randomly came across the book Subversive Sabbath by A.J Swoboda. And in the middle of adapting to a place where siestas are daily, efficiency isn’t top priority and life is just slower in general, I figured out that I am really bad at Sabbathing. So here is a hodge-podge of reflections/take-aways from this incredible… Read more >>
