Peru Teams
Rebuilding teams still needed after 2007 earthquake in Peru
Teams are needed that have a heart for service, compassion and a desire to see the gospel spread. The focus will be to show the love of Christ as relationships are built in the community. Come prepared to be flexible with an openness to be used by God!
Crisis response has proven to be a great family and youth mission experience. Teams can have 6-20 members. The minimum team member age is 14. For youth teams, one adult to every three 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
