Major Earthquake in Peru
We are in need of teams who have a heart for service and compassion and a desire to see the gospel spread. Our focus will be on building relationships in the community to show the love of Christ. Come prepared to be flexible and with an openness to be used by God!
We are seeking teams of 6-20, rather than individual workers. Crisis response has proven to be a great family and youth mission experience. The minimum team member age is 14. For youth teams, 1 adult to every 3 youth is required.
Possible team focus areas:
- Helping to rebuild homes
- Vacation Bible School and other children ministries
- Medical/Dental
- Family Ministries
- Teaching English
- Lay crisis counseling and evangelism
