About Peru
Peru is the third largest South American country, encompassing the Andes Mountains and dry coastal plains to the west and the Amazon jungle to the east. The culture is influenced by both the Incan Empire and Spanish colonization. Peru has a strong history of Catholicism, and many combine Christianity and Andean paganism. Together, the team will partner with IMB missionaries and Peruvian churches with the goal to share the Gospel, and make disciples in urban centers, human settlements, local schools and new church starts.
