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. |
