The ancient Incan civilization of Machu Picchu tells the history of the Peruvian people, but Peru’s future is poised for change.
Filled with jaw-dropping terrain, Peru is one of the most bio-diverse countries on Earth. Peru’s landscape includes the lofty peaks of the Andes, vast coastal deserts and the lush, tropical rain forests of the Amazon Basin.
The birthplace of several proud, ancient civilizations, present-day Peru is home to an incredible assortment of indigenous groups that blend into a unique and beautiful culture.
Sadly, the people of Peru struggle with high levels of poverty and class inequality. Government corruption hinders Peru’s economic development and the people face many intractable problems such as teenage pregnancy, substance abuse and crime (particularly theft).
Difficult circumstances have created a strong hunger for hope.
Peruvians—especially those living in poverty—are amazingly open and responsive to the gospel. God is powerfully at work in this South American country.
You can help advance this harvest. Participate in special community outreach events to meet the people of Peru as they seek the promise of Christ. Share the love and grace of Jesus with children and bring them hope in God’s plans for their future.
Visit with people door-to-door, connecting with them and learning new ways to serve and share the gospel as you stretch your heart for the people of Peru.
The harvest in Peru is plentiful, but the workers are few. Will you be one of them?
