Here is just a regular family who decided to move into a community in need of ministry and start
a mission to their neighbors. Read and hear how they are impacting their community and the
lives of others for the Lord. We salute those who are doing missions at home and abroad. Here
is an example of what any one of us can do if we are open to God's leadership.

Pastor Robert Barriger and his family have been missionaries in Peru for over twenty years. He first started out
ministering in the hot jungles, but eventually moved to Lima, the capital of Peru, to minister to youth.
With a handful of young but excited believers, he started a church, and now today Camino de Vida is a fast growing
church of 5,000.
He is involved in numerous ministry projects including a nationwide church planting movement, starting Camino de
Vida churches all across the country.
His deep love for children prompted the startup of two orphanages that are now recognized by the national government
as quality institutions of help for abused and neglected children.
His "wheelchair ministry" alone has ministered to thousands of crippled people in the country.
His ministries have penetrated the neglected mountain regions and uncovered desperate communities of need which
his church seeks to serve.
Needs that seem foreign to many of us are all too common in his arena. One such need presented itself in the form of
worm medicine. Millions of pills are given to help rid the people of worm infestation.
Last year Signal Hill Foundation contributed a significant percentage of our total budget to the ministries of Pastor
Robert and the great work in Peru. Here is a superb example of what one man with a vision can accomplish with the
help and power of God.
We salute you and partner with you Pastor Robert and the ministers of Camino de Vida mission.

Medical Mission to El Salvador 2009, 2010
Last year Sharon and I had the privilege of participating in a
medical mission to El Salvador. We were on a team with twenty other
great workers. Tens of thousands of dollars (retail) worth of medicine
was dispensed and the Gospel was shared with hundreds of people.
Although it was a medical mission we were able to form teams
who distributed the unique Gospel Shoes. We gave away 650 pairs of
shoes with an accompanying witness. Over 140 people professed faith
in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Thirteen churches have been started over the last fifteen years,
pastors have received training and thousands of believers have been
added. We are awaiting results from this year's effort.
The photos below are Gospel Shoe witnesses in action.

Signal Hill Foundation purchased 4,00 pairs of the unique witness tools called the Gospel Shoe from the
Soles4Souls organization. We have been offering them to any mission group who will commit to using them to
share the Gospel.
Since December over 1,000 pair have been distributed. Unlike other things the shoes share the Gospel with the
colors of the Wordless Gospel colors. Those who receive them usually have to share the concept with others. So we
really don't know the multiplied impact they are having. Many people have professed faith in Christ as a result.
If you or your group would like to distribute and witness with the Gospel Shoes, just let me know. We give them away
to legitimate mission groups while supplies last.
If you would like to donate to underwrite the cost of the Gospel Shoe ministry it would be greatly appreciated. We
have spent well over $10,000 for the purchase and distribution of these wonderful witness tools.
Jerry Smith
