Primeria Iglesia Bautista is a church in Villa El Salvador on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. Our church has partnered with this church for the past two years through International Mission Board missionaries Brent and Jennifer Waldrep. Our team’s mission was to spread the Gospel through nightly church activities, a medical clinic, home/school visits, and a sewing ministry. On Sunday, team members taught Sunday school, sang in Spanish, shared their testimonies, passed out fliers about the week’s activities, and delivered two sermons. Throughout the week, the team shared Bible stories with children in schools and families in homes, as well as shared their faith with people they met. In the evenings, they held a substance abuse clinic, special events for men and women, and a church-wide celebration/service. Eighty-two patients were seen at the medical clinic and more than fifty ladies learned how to sew during their time in Peru. Through these various ministries opportunities, twenty-two people came to faith in Jesus Christ!
The church has grown in leadership, evangelism, and outreach ministries since last year. They’ve also grown in size and have purchased a building in which they are holding services. The church is carrying out its vision to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ while serving the community.
