Our Vision

Our desire is to serve Peru humbly with a passionate love that can only come from Christ. We strive to make disciples of Jesus who live and proclaim the word of God and plant Christ-centered communities throughout the Peruvian Amazon and into all the nations. We have a shared vision in representing Christ to those that have yet to hear His name. Through our actions, we aim to meet the physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs, as meeting those needs in the name of God plants seeds of spiritual change. We strive to meet the needs of the poor as we love our neighbors as ourselves; “God chose those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom” (James 2:5). "We are to work under Christ’s authority, rendering our service to others with good will as to the Lord" (Ephesians 6:7). We understand that we will be uncomfortable and stretched beyond what we think we can handle, but may we come to know and recognize that with God, all things are possible. We want our teams to grasp the reality that when we serve 'the least of these,' we not only look directly into the face of God himself, but we are participating in the fellowship of sharing in Christ’s sufferings. We pray that our faith in Jesus will grow like never before and we will be able to support the claim that faith without action is dead!
