In one of the "uttermost" parts of the world, God is miraculously saving and changing people.  As Quechua believers work with missionaries to grow new churches in the remote villages, they ask for more workers to come and join the work.  God desires to grow them up in Christ-likeness, reflecting His holiness and wisdom.

The Quechua people of the Cotahuasi (Coat-a-wa-see) Canyon live high in the remote Andes Mountains of Peru.  Situated in some of the most rugged terrain on earth, (in the deepest canyon in the world), this people group was left unreached until about 2001 when our family was invited to help serve a small, struggling group of isolated Christians. Soon, a few of these faithful believers joined us in the work to reach out to their lost people.  Over the last few years, God has demonstrated His power through saving many hopeless people, giving them new life in Jesus Christ.

The Lord has called others and has given us the privilege of training and supporting a solid team of local Quechua missionaries as we serve together in planting churches with them. We are so grateful.  We serve them with Bible-centered theological education, discipleship modeled after Christ's examples, and "on the job training" as we plant churches in more remote areas. Quechua believers working with missionaries from other countries make this a multi-cultural team that is seriously committed and dedicated to serve Jesus Christ for His glory!

But, there are over 17,000 people scattered out in about 40 different isolated villages. How will God provide for reaching all of these areas? Many areas are inaccessible by road and must be visited by trail using mules or

As you consider praying about partnering with us, remember that if anything eternally lasting will be accomplished for Him, it will only happen because of the absolute sovereignty of God.  He delights in using weak and unattractive things to confound the world’s wisdom, embarrassing the strength of the humanly strong. And in this way, He receives the glory!  We trust Him to save and call the workers He desires for taking in His harvest.

But, in one sense, we Christians are all called, commanded, and commissioned to lay down our lives to love and obey Christ, so that the Gospel might be preached to every creature under heaven.

Not unlike the Cotahuasi Canyon, throughout the world there are many spiritually deep and dark canyons. Each of God’s elect is called by the Lord to give their life in obedience to the Savior, and to enter sometimes difficult situations. Through prayer, giving, or going, each of us has the privilege of participating.  Whether we will give our life to go down into the deep valleys, or hold the rope for others to climb down and offer the gospel to the lost, either way, the same commitment to His lordship is required.  And the hope  is to give our Lord and Savior glory.

by hiking. The work is laborious and slow. Wise use of time and resources is needed.  Helpful tools can help to enable His servants. More laborers are necessary. Will you pray for this harvest and your participation with us?
