Peru - Quechua

Peru Missions to the Ayacucho Quechua People Group Flag of Peru
On July 16, 2005, Kirby Woods Baptist Church voted to adopt the Ayacucho Quechuan people group of Peru. This adoption, as part of the Rapid Entry Advance Plan (REAP), a ministry of the South American Region of the International Mission Board (IMB) means that we as a church family are now the missionaries to this people group.

If you are interested in going on one of the trips to Peru or would like to learn more about this, please email Steve McAlister or Brent Armstrong for more information.

Who are the Ayacucho Quechuan people group?

We are working with the Ayacucho Quechua people group in the lower Huaytara district of the Huancavelica region. It is very rich in culture and history.

How will we reach them?

KWBC will be taking 3-5 trips to Peru each year. We will show them the love of Jesus Christ through preaching, singing, Bible stories, drama, testimonies, sports and other activities as they become available.

We will pray for those that live in the villages that we visit. We will ask for God to move mightily in the mountains of Peru to bring lost souls into His Kingdom.

We will encourage and disciple new believers and assist them in planting new churches throughout the valleys of Peru. As pockets of believers develop in the villages, they will become missionaries in their own village and to surrounding villages throughout the mountains.

How can you get involved?

There are many ways that you can become a part of this mission:

- go on a trip
- PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!
- through offerings and other contributions
- donate needed goods and supplies
