Our investment within the country of Peru has been focused on a Bible school for the Shipibo people at Junin Pablo. Al Lotz has developed the teaching materials for the courses and previously visited 1-2 times each year to teach, but has been prevented from returning by drug-related activities in the area as well as political unrest. Peruvian YMI missionary Julio Serrano continues the work, traveling from Lima several times each year to teach the courses Al has provided and encourage the believers. 

Montaña Esperanza

Julio, a missionary with Youth Missions International (YMI)  has developed a Bible School for the Shipibo people at Junin Pablo. They hold classes four times a year for those wanting to share the Gospel in their communities.  YMI Peru already has two bases of operation, one at 10,000 feet in the mountains and the other in the Amazonas department of northern Peru. The base called “Hope Mountain” on the bank Marañón River is strategically located to reach the 170,000 Aguarunas that live in 600 communities in the Condorcanqui province near the border with Ecuador.  Among other things, the base includes the Evangelical Bible Seminary Awajun that offers 4 courses in 4 weeks annually with a curriculum of 16 courses that cycle over a 4 year period. Training lay pastors through discipleship is a key step in process of planting a church in each community. Already 13  churches have been successfully  planted.
