July was a productive, but challenging and intense month for Peace and Hope Trust. We were shaken by Pastor Mark’s very serious motorcycle accident on his “Ride for Peace and Hope”. Thousands of people had Mark in their thoughts and prayers and we are so overjoyed to have Pastor Mark safe and sound, albeit in considerable pain.

This was a month of great progress for our work in Nicaragua. We hosted numerous teams and installed a wonderful playground at the orphanage and installed a life-saving VHF radio in the jungle village of Esperanza along with many other challenging and hope giving projects…many thanks to our brave volunteers and their supporters and churches.

Thank you for your ongoing interest and support this summer. We are already planning a one week “Living Thanksgiving” project for November...we will be sending out information in the weeks ahead.

Sincerely,
Peter Coleman
