Project ID: PE0001-65611

The Lutheran Mission of Peru, established in 2010, is the umbrella organization for church planting in the country. The mission sports two graduates of Concordia the Reformer Seminary, a seasoned Alliance Missionary Pastor from Paraguay and another from Brazil. Together they serve three growing church plants in Los Olivos, La Victoria, and San Borja, as well as a preaching station. In addition, two more men are in the pastoral formation pipeline.

The faithful Peruvian staff at Castillo Fuerte work alongside Pastor Ramírez and Deaconess Caitlin to share the Gospel and show mercy to the community. There, children receive a daily meal, homework help, emotional support and God’s Word. Each week, Divine Services draw the Children with their families and others from the community.

The Los Olivos congregation is also seeing rapid growth. It is currently served by Brazilian Alliance Missionary Pastor Rafael Milagres.

In San Borja, Alliance Missionary Pastor Walterson Siewert works tirelessly to share the Gospel with locals. His experience with cross-cultural mission work is evident in the phenomenal growth of the mission, where he began with no members just a year ago. In 12 months, there are 16 new confirmands, with six more in catechism classes. Thanks be to God.
