Meet: Peter


Name: Peter "soft hands" Amend
Age: 26
City you live in: On my days off? the Sierra mountain range. But, usually in Visalia.
Job: photographer / bicycle mechanic
What word would best describe you: passionadventure

Describe the perfect day: waking up in a sleeping bag next to a few great friends under a grove Giant Sequoia trees, brewing some coffee in a french press from fresh snow melt, climbing a few mountain peaks, jumping in the river, mountain biking on some backcountry singletrack, and chowing down on some pizza on the way back home

Who are the top 3 most influential people in your life: David & Elizabeth Amend, Simon Peter

What’s going to be playing through your headphones on this trip: oooh. a little mix maybe of Woven Hand, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons, Yeasayer, Tom Waits, David Crowder, and maybe some Kanye West, you know - a little native music

Why did you sign up for this trip: while watching the African Childrens Choir perform a few months back, I felt the Lord tugging on my heart calling me to a missions trip of some sorts. Sort of shrugged off the calling, as the opportunity hadn't yet presented itself. Now i realize it was a seed that's been growing in my heart...

What excites you most about this trip: ministering to a devastated third world country

What are you nervous about in this trip:
ministering to a devastated third world country

How can people pray for you through this trip: a heightened sense of urgency and awareness to what the Holy Spirit calls us to in our short time in Haiti

  1. Dear Mr. Passionadventure, this is pure bliss! I love what all of you are doing, and I was taken by all of your stories about where your muse came from to volunteer yourselves. This is a beautiful story, and I hope to see it continue forth, and you are all in my prayers! - Paula Fritz
