PERU TEAM
Are you looking for an opportunity to serve crossculturally in 2025? Are you 18 to 32 years old? Are you longing to grow in your relationship with Jesus?
You are invited to join us and others this summer to proclaim Jesus in the Trujillo area of Peru. We are partnering with a local church to share the Gospel using the arts in many local church plants. This city of 1 million plus people is known for the arts through the large university population. The opportunities range from youth groups, plaza performances, English conversation classes, and children's programs. s The people, food and culture are warm and welcoming but there is a spiritual darkness that only Jesus can change.
