Peru Teams

        	              
Rebuilding teams still needed after 2007 earthquake



Praying for homeTeams are needed that have a heart for service, compassion and a desire to see the gospel spread. The focus is to glorify God and multiply healthy churches in the community by building relationships and showing the love of Christ. Come prepared to be flexible with an openness to be used by God!




The TouchGlobal ministry in Chincha has proven to be a great family and youth mission experience. Teams can have 6-20 members, and the minimum age is 14 years old. For youth teams, a ratio of one adult to every three youth is required.




Involve your friends, family and churches in the rebuilding efforts. Download a brochure or bulletin insert (color or black and white) to share with others. The Lord is at work in Chincha! Will you join Him?
