Evangelical work always a need in this area. This new mission provides a working small church, and lodging for visiting short term missionaries to come and serve. The people are very open, and the children are very loving. There is much to do. the Mission was built in an area that was pretty wiped out in an earthquake in 2007, and due to all the residents being farm workers, they have been recovering very slowly. Spiritual needs are very needed as well as they have many traditions and rituals but no real knowledge or awareness of Christ working in their lives. This is our purpose.
Construction labor and materials are of key focus. If you can work on someone's residence, repair a wall, ceiling, brick and concrete work, electrical, plumbing, doors, windows, there are so many needs for your skills.
We can house up to 20 at a time, and we have made the arrival and visiting as painless and inexpensive as possible if you have a group. We are desiring both regular evangelical trips, as well as trying to also setup evangelical/construction team trips. So, if you have a heart for construction as well, we have a a need for you there as well.

Description
We are a missionary organization, currently focused in a major area of need in Peru. We have volunteer missionaries that live at the mission full time, but primary staffing is intended to come along side of them on a short term basis, a week or two, a month. The people have great needs and little resources to provide. Currently we are assisting with orthodonics, clothing, eyeglasses, dental supplies, shoes, teaching english, aiding in homework, assisting with occasional construction needs, recently rebuilt a kitchen and added an indoor bathroom, and more. We look to volunteers and to donations. We have the need, and the housing for visiting mission help, but need the volunteers.
