An adventure awaits you in Peru!
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.
A small town in the middle of the Amazon will be your home base. You’ll work with a local pastor on a wide variety of ministry opportunities according to how the Lord has equipped your team. You might teach English or business, give guitar lessons, or run sports ministry. You could learn to swing a machete and help maintain the property. And you’ll probably boat down the river to do evangelism and children’s ministry, and equip pastors in the Amazon to teach the gospel in this remote area.
The need is great, and your opportunities to serve are endless. Ministry begins where your passions and the needs of the Peruvian people meet. Whatever you do, bring them hope and a reminder of God’s good plans for their future.
