We’d love to give you the inside scoop of Eric’s work here. He’s being stretched and developed as he takes on many new tasks...
One of his jobs is to create an e-bulletin every month that’s sent to supporters of Peru Mission in the states. It’s an extremely important task as it keeps everyone up to date on what's happening here in Peru. He highlights one of the ministries or an exciting event that has taken place, interviews people, and writes and designs the bulletin. It’s currently being mailed to almost 900 friends of the mission in the U.S. (If you’d like to receive the ebulletin let us know! We can get you set up!) He’s excited about this part of his job as he gets to dabble in all the ministries here and be in the know of what’s happening around the mission.
Eric will be in charge of a 8-12 page print bulletin that goes out in the mail twice a year to the subscribers. This bulletin highlights major events and more fully documents what the Lord’s doing here. This project takes quite a bit of preparation and coordination as it’s compiled, designed, and printed here in Peru, and then mailed stateside. He’ll begin writing for the print bulletin in just a couple of months.
He has also been elected to head-up research on capital campaigns and fundraising. The mission has many projects in the works and is in need of major funding for their completion. Eric is making contacts and gleaning as much wisdom as he can so that the team can begin to work towards a well-planned, well-organized capital campaign looking to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Gulp.
Eric is also now on the website/logo development committee. Peru Mission is looking at a complete website/logo overhaul and the committee is working together to try and make some of the big decisions in order to have an innovative, organized, up-to-date, and interesting website that represents us well.
A side-note worthy of mentioning, is that Eric stepped into these roles with virtually NO experience in graphic design, no knowledge of graphics software, etc. My brave husband is teaching himself graphic and web design (a daunting task), honing his photography skills, learning spanish to be able to conduct interviews, work with Peruvian graphic designers, etc., and trusting Jesus, nonetheless. He’s doing a great job juggling all of this newness!
Eric would LOVE for you to pray for:
- Discipline and Efficiency - that he would work hard and work well at his job.
- Discernment - That he would be able to discern which tasks deserve priority and which can wait.
- Confidence and Encouragement - As Eric at times feels inadequate and lacking confidence, please pray that he would be encouraged, that he would extend grace and patience to himself, and that he would learn these new skills quickly!
Thanks to all!
