Family
to Family (F2F) Ministry
The
cornerstone of the Peru Mission is the Family to Family (F2F) Ministry.
Several hundred Peruvian families are sponsored by St. John's parishioners
and there are more to be served. The minimum commitment is $25.00 per month
to provide food and necessary supplies for a family for approximately one
half month. The exchange of letters between the sponsoring and the sponsored
families is encouraged in order to develop close relationships which are a
blessing for all those involved. Click

for more information.
You
may want to expand your relationship with your Peruvian family by sharing
specific gifts with them. The shipment of your gifts is facilitated by St.
John's Mission Board with approximately three large container shipments per
year. Please watch the church bulletin and the NEWS section of
this website for shipping dates. For additional information please

them in even more ways. working with St. John's liaisons your specific
