GLOBAL OUTREACH

In the last few years we have built a relationship with several Presbyterian churches in and around Moyobamba, Peru. We send teams to construct buildings, do medical clinics, and support our brothers and sisters in Christ in general. Those who become involved find that our lives change in our awareness of our blessings, and in seeing a developing country first hand. Many support this ministry from right here in Burlington by donating items that are needed, praying for the ministry and supporting the program financially. First Presbyterian Church purchased land for a Christian university to be built over the next several years. It is exciting to see the need and look for God's guidance in helping to provide what is needed.

PERU MISSION

First Presbyterian Church sends at least two adult mission teams to work in Peru each year.  The work includes construction, medical clinics and developing Christian relationships. Our philosophy centers around the concept of partnership in mission.  Not only do adults travel to Peru, but church families and businesses host Peruvians each year.  College students choose to spend their vacation working here in Burlington, and become part of the church ministry here.  The real partnership is developed when the same Presbyterians are able to host us in their home country, Peru.

If you have interest in this mission you are encouraged to contact us or drop by some Sunday morning to talk and pray with Mission Minds Meet Sunday School class from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in the Church Library.
