Year 2020 was a very complicated year for many of us. However, God allowed us to help many people in our community in Cusco. We were able to distribute bags of food to the elderly, families in extreme poverty and Venezuelan immigrants.
I was in bed for a month due to COVID 19, which was the cause for postponing our marriage three times. However, thanks to God, we got married on December 19, 2020. It was a very difficult year with many trials, but God has helped us.
At the beginning of 2021, we started with a lot of hopes and expectations about the new challenges that God has prepared for us. At the beginning of the year, we were able to open the church and we have had a lot of attendance from young people and teenagers with whom we have traveled to bless other communities in need.
In Peru, the sanitary measures are strict and do not allow the agglomeration of people. We have been able to see God’s hand in all this time since the pandemic began. None of the congregants presented serious symptoms of COVID 19. Many adolescents and young people from our community who were affected by the pandemic and could not leave their homes, have returned to church.
Today, we are meeting in homes and small groups. This January 31,five young people decided to be baptized. This February, the Peruvian government has completely closed the churches, but we have created new strategies to continue discipleship and leadership training. We have begun to teach foreign language courses, business training and Bible studies with new people to continue extending the kingdom of the Lord.
We are very grateful to God. We continue to dream of having a team of missionary pastors and new churches in different places.
Blessings,
Colossians 3:23-24
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving”.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.
We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.
We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.
