Dear Friends and Family,
As some of you may know Peyton and I
have the opportunity to travel to Mexico this summer for a mission trip.. She and I will serve on a team of eleven
people. This trip is unique because it
is specifically designed with families in mind. We will serve in a women’s
shelter, 2 different orphanages and hand out food. Most of the places we will serve is based out
of a one area of focus “The Dump” now
affectionately referred to as La Colonia. This site used to serve the area as a
city dump. Though it is now closed many people have made la Colonia their
home. Much of the mission trip will be
spent serving the people of this area.
It is a huge honor to be able to
travel with our youngest daughter Peyton.
As a parent one of our greatest prayers is to not just hear our children
profess to be Christians but to see them live it out. Last summer Steven, Baily, and Shelby all set
out on mission trips of their own. While
Peyton, Barron, and I sat at home a prayed from a distance. It is so amazing to watch God use these
events to begin cultivating desires in our youngest two.
So yes you guess it…. this is a
support letter. We pray that as you receive this letter that you will begin to
pray about what God would have you to do. Peyton and I have to raise $1000 together. This will cover travel, meals,
accommodations, and any leftover goes to support any projects that we will do
while we are in Mexico. We pray that you
will be faithful in your prayers for us and you will be obedient to His ask. We
trust that God will call out the right people for prayer and financial
support. It is our heart that through
your prayers and financial gifts; that you to will be blessed. We know that God doesn’t ask us to all do and
give the same and that is why we are so incredibly thankful for the wide
spectrum of people that He has placed in our lives.
There are 3 ways to give.
~A check to Fellowship Church (Lindsay and Peyton Latham in the
Memo)
This check will be tax deductible.

go for specific travel needs of Peyton and me.

on the site. But it is not tax deductible)
All Checks are mailed to me and I turn them in.

Hi, this is Peyton and I am going to Mexico and this is the map of where we’re going.
The 2 places that we will be going to are Tijuana and the other is Rosarito. I am really excited

closer to Him to be able to spread the Gospel.
