The harvest taking place in Cotahuasi valley and the surrounding highland villages, are completely under God's control. We are just the obedient tools He uses to complete His will.

Upcoming Trips: Next scheduled trip(s): Spring 2005.
FYI quick notes:
Partnering: The Churches from Lima are San Martine' and Mira Flores, sending a total of 45 people to join our team of 16. They helped put on the "Concert", in Cotahuasi's bullring and a medical and youth clinic. Included in the 45 people were doctors, who closed their practice to serve, 1 Quechua band w/singers, 1 contemporary band w/singers and their entire equipment, plus pastoral speakers.
Our Lima brothers and sisters, humble servants of God, not only sacrificed very needed income to go and serve, but also endured a bus ride from Lima to Cotahuasi, taking over 24hrs to reach and serve. What an example of unconditional, self-sacrificing deep love to minister.
Friendships, One of our most valuable asset on all the Peru mission trips is our guide Marcio Ruiz. He not only knows every square inch of La Union Providence, he also knows everyone in it. Marcio, his wife Miryam and Marcio Jr. live in Arequipa. To contact Marcio, his e-mail is marcioruiz@hotmail.com
