Our mission trip to Peru was a transformative experience as we partnered with local communities from July 7th to 25th. We explored the rich culture and history of this beautiful country, visiting the ancient city of Machu Picchu and engaging with locals in Urubamba and Pilcopata. Through various church and building projects, including Awana programs, we witnessed 14 people come to faith. The stunning landscapes, vibrant markets, and the warmth of the Peruvian people made our journey memorable and impactful.
