Our team was informed today that we are no longer planning on going to Mongolia. The airfare was too expensive and most of us didn't get the amount of funds we needed. Incredibly sad, but we are trusting that God is planning something greater for our DTS.
So, the new "plan" is to do outreach in Peru. We will be doing the same things as we would have in Mongolia, just in South America now. We still need roughly $5,000 to be able to go on this outreach. We need those of you who follow what we're doing to help us with this money. Know that it will be diligently used to further God's kingdom.
We are planning to leave the US on May 23rd. While we are still here, we are doing several outreaches in local neighborhoods. We go into an area, do a dance and get people's attention. We invite people to come watch the performance and afterwards, engage with them and use the dance as a way to open up conversation. Once we get talking, we try to talk to people about Jesus and see what they need. We try to pray with as many people as possible. We've done 3 days of these outreaches: 2 in neighborhoods in Somerset and one at Harvard Square.
Stress levels are running high among our team. The change of location threw everyone off, along with the leaders, and now we must really focus and trust God. We desperately need your prayers!
We will be getting more information about the specifics of Peru within the week. We will post this information as we learn it. Don't forget to "like" our page on facebook and also keep in contact through email. Send us your prayer requests!
Much love, Josh and Devi

I'm sorry to hear that. Like you I believe God has something else planned for you.
