Opportunity:
Our missionaries have answered God’s call to reach three unreached Indian tribes
(Candoshi, Quechua, and Achuar) located deep in the jungles of Peru. We will
work with Agua Vida A/D (Living Water Assembly of God) located in a village
along the Paztasa River, to expand their facilities so that the church may more
effectively reach these people groups that lie upriver within their reach. Our
opportunities may also include ministry to adults, youth, and children, as well as
humanitarian assistance. This trip will involve extensive travel (big planes, small
planes, boats, trains, and buses) and modest accommodations. For the free day, we
will visit Machu Picchu, a 15th century Inca citadel situated on a mountain, which
was voted one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”.
Health & Safety:
We will follow the missionary’s and AGWM’s guidelines to ensure our safety.
There are no required travel vaccinations, but team members should be current
on all routine immunizations and should consider CDC recommendations
(http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/mission_disaster/peru) for
vaccinations and meds that could be helpful in Peru.
