Location: Lima, Peru
My Vision: My passion is to bring the gospel to the children and their families at the church plant in Chilca, Peru and Surco District in Lima, Peru. I and my wife Ruth and our daughter Andrea also desire to help plant more churches in other areas of Peru.
Ministry Focus: With a population of over 33 million, Peru faces both spiritual and social challenges—only 14% identify as evangelical, and over 25% struggle with poverty.
Our ministry focuses on children and youth in Chilca, a village in the Pucusana region, where economic hardship and spiritual needs are significant. Partnering with Emmanuel Church in Lima, we lead evangelistic outreaches that have drawn over 250 children and their families, resulting in many coming to Christ.
We also organize mission trips to the jungle, where teams from our church plant in Surco hold evangelistic events, regularly seeing 450–500 children attend our events at one time, along with their parents. As a result, we have seen many come to Christ!. Additionally, we offer dental clinics, medical aid, food, and clothing, with a special focus on our annual Christmas outreach, where we share the gospel and provide gifts to children.
Through church planting and holistic ministry, we aim to bring lasting spiritual and social transformation to Peru.
Ministry History: I felt called to missions at the young age of six. Having been in ministry since 1997, I was ordained by the PAOC in 2007. I ministered in Canada, United States, Guatemala, Chile, and Ecuador. In 2000, I felt God’s call to Peru. In 2010, I met and married my wife Ruth, a Peruvian dentist; and in 2016, we welcomed our precious daughter Andrea to the world. God has continued to bless our ministry abundantly, and with an evangelist’s heart, I am thankful to continue living out my calling.
Prayer Requests:
- PRAY for protection, peace of mind, & continued sensitivity to the cultural as things change with time and as years pass by for us.
- PRAY we will find a building for our Church plant because we have out grown the building we are renting and continued provision to go forward with our future builds.
- PRAY for the Evangelism events and our Discipleship programs that we will continue to see lives being changed by the power of God.
