Tammy Dicken on Mission in Peru
WKID 6 interviewed Tammy Dicken about her experience on a mission trip in Malta in 2011. At that time, God called her to become a full time missionary. For the past several months, she has been on mission at an orphanage in Peru. We were able to catch up with her on a short visit home. Tammy Dicken has been working with Go Ye Ministries in Peru to help meet needs and spread the Gospel.
Go Ye Ministries consists of an orphanage, a church, and a school. Tammy is also teaching English classes in a nearby school, and she is working as a nurse for the surrounding community.
Tammy is spending a lot of time working with children at the school and with the more than thirty children at the orphanage. She told us that the children have a lot of emotional and spiritual issues. Many have suffered abuse. Tammy told us that it was amazing to see one of the girls embrace the Gospel despite her family life.
Tammy is also helping with the physical and spiritual needs of the adults living nearby. There are about 800 families living in a dump that surrounds the orphanage. The people of Go Ye Ministries has been able to have a Bible Study with some of the women in the dump for the past two years. There are also brothels near the orphanage. Go Ye is working on starting an online sewing business for women who want to leave prostitution.
Tammy’s church, Calvary Baptist, is helping to support Tammy in her missions. At the orphanage, they have always washed clothes by hand, but through a generous VBS donation, they will soon have a washing machine. Tammy said that they didn't think they would raise enough money for a washing machine, but they received nearly three times as much.

Volunteers Help Build Playground
Children in Saltville, VA now have a new playground to enjoy. The local United Way put the word out for volunteers to help build the playground. They expected about 80 people to show up, but nearly double that number did. Folks from as far away as Connecticut helped to build the new playground, and a group of 17 teenagers helped while in the area for a mission trip.
