A note from our ministry partners at

Dear Perception Funding Staff & Supporters,
We just finished another busy summer season of missions! We hosted short-term teams all of June and July with our four partner ministries around Peru: in Lima, the Amazon Jungle, and the Andes Mountains. We were blessed with both new teams and many returning teams. We also had three summer interns, who spent their entire summer serving with mission teams as well as leading projects at some of our ministry sites. As we spend some time debriefing and reflecting on this summer, we are continually reminded of how wonderful God is and how much He loves us.
There are countless ways that we saw God at work this summer! One of these is through a church in Prattville, Alabama called Centerpoint. Centerpoint is a team that has returned year after year to serve with our ministry partner in Santa Clara, 1.5 hours outside of Lima. The relationship that is blossoming between these two churches is inspiring. Not only was the local church in Santa Clara encouraged by having Centerpoint join them and serve alongside them in their local community; many of the Centerpoint team members were blessed in mighty ways. This year, Centerpoint brought a new group of church members that included both veterans--friends who have come to Peru for almost 15 years now--and new team members that were traveling outside of the country for the first time. Some of the members of the group were new believers, and God used their mission week to transform and encourage these new believers in their walk with the Lord. It was awesome to be able to witness this. A church member from Centerpoint was so moved by his time on the mission field that he is making plans to come back to Peru in November to join the local church from Santa Clara on a mission trip of their own to Pangoa, a native community where they have been serving and planting a church over the past few years. We are overjoyed to see this relationship continue. This is why we continue to work so hard to build healthy, long-term relationships between churches from Peru and North America. Through mutual encouragement and empowerment, we have seen God bless both sides and use these relationships to expand his Kingdom--both here in Peru and there in North America--in a healthy and sustainable way. To God be the glory!
Muchas gracias!!

Our ministry partners at GOT Ministries (Guatemalan Occupational Therapy) have been making great progress with some of the kiddos whose lives they have been impacting with their work. To learn more about what they have been up to, click below.

PRAYER Joining us in prayer:

Since November of last year, Bo Tunberg has been on our staff helping our Ministry Partners tell their story through video. Learn more about our video creations here and watch our most recent video below.

As we continue to add new ministry partners our need for skilled operational staff to care for these ministries grows. Join us in prayer as we consider bringing on several new staff of the course of the next few months.

Currently, Perception Funding has 7 operational staff in KC and 28 missionaries serving in 17 Countries around the world. This means that there's a good chance we'll always have someone traveling to or from their country of ministry. Over the next 2 months:

We'll have 4 missionaries launching for the first time and 4 others returning to their mission field.

We'll have 6 missionaries returning to the US for 4-8 weeks to visit family and their supporters.

Please pray for logistics, safety, finances, rest and quality time with loved ones as our people travel to and from China, Albania, Turkey, Costa Rica and Mexico.

As we lead a fundraising training on March 9th with six Ministry Partners. This is a great opportunity for people to change their viewpoint, get some tips and tools and be encouraged amongst others in ministry.

As we launch into two new church planting ministries. One is in Turkey and the other Asia. Both the financial costs and risk of being a Christian are high in these locations. Pray for our missionaries as they prepare to go serve those who don't know Jesus.

As we have 6 Ministry Partners traveling to and from their foreign homes overseas. Pray for time to rest and time to connect with those they love.

Several months ago we launched the video production arm of Perception Funding called Glenwood Stories, lead by our newest staff member, Bo Tunberg. Here's a taste of the video projects that we have been working on for several ministry partners.

As we meet with our Ministry Partners to develop their ministry and fundraising plans for the year.
