Our

open-air evangelism, church presentations, and Vacation Bible
School. They’ll be teaming up with members from other
AMI churches.
History
of Peru:
Since gaining independence from Spain in 1824, Peru has had
a long history of dictatorship and military rule. A brutal
war against Maoist rebels claimed as many as 69,000 lives
in the 80’s and 90’s. Despite the near destruction
of the guerrilla groups, murders, armed robberies and gang
warfare, is still a problem. Peru's development has also been
hindered by widespread corruption and the failure of successive
governments to address social and economic inequality. An
elite group of Spanish descent controls most of its wealth
and political power, while the indigenous peoples are largely
excluded and make up the majority of those living below the
poverty line.

Prayer
Requests for Peru:
- Government:
Peru turned democratic less than a decade ago; please pray
that God would grant wisdom to the current leaders to bring
an end to corruption and instability.
- Evangelical
Churches: The church in Peru has been growing rapidly, pray
that God would raise trained and matured leaders who can
be guided by clear biblical teaching.
-
Indigenous Peoples: The Quechua and Aymara peoples of the
mountains and the Amerindian tribes of the lowland areas
have a strong tradition of superstition and virtually no
churches. Please pray for breakthrough and revival in these
areas that people would instead hunger for a relationship
with Christ.
Pray
for Team:
- Unity:
Healthy accountability, fellowship, relationship-building,
and servants' hearts
-
Growth: Growing love for God, hearts for the people of Peru
and the nations, richer study of Scripture, deeper prayer
lives, physical health, and emotional stability
-
Training: Preparation for spiritual battles; that God would
be the center of all that we do as we train spiritually,
mentally and physically in the coming months
