Central will be partnering with Iglesia del Reino, a Waters Edge campus in Lima, Peru! Together we will serve at Iglesia del Reino through things such as, painting projects, clean up projects, building projects, leadership training with the team and serving at Sunday service. We may partner and serve at the church in Comas (one of the poorest areas in Lima) through feeding outreach, children’s ministry outreaches, orphanage project, and Su Refugio. On this trip, you will be serving in the most influential district in Lima. Lima has 12 million+ people. Think New York City, but surrounded by poverty and shanty towns. Your team will get to experience urban ministry in one of the most influential city centers in South America, as well as ministering and serving in some of the poorest places around the city. Join us in serving in Peru while deepening your understanding and relationship with God, while learning and enjoying Peruvian culture.
