Almost immediately after marriage, Lilly and I desired to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. As a young married couple, we didn’t consider this a call to missions. We simply recognized the need to bring the preaching of salvation to friends and family. We later began to realize that God was preparing us for the work ahead.

We could never get enough done feeling we needed to do more. As we matured as Christians, we came to understand that God’s will for our lives is to serve Him in Peru.

After serving as an assistant pastor for a time, I felt led towards missions once again and needed to be in a church that had a heart for missions.  After visiting several churches, my wife and I decided on La Iglesia Bautista Fundamental La Gran Comisión. We knew that we were called to serve as missionaries and wanted a church that was mission minded and where we could receive training and prepare for the mission field.  We've been so blessed by our local church; we want others to be blessed by a local church just like ours.

We believe that God wants us to go to Peru and seek out the unreached with the Gospel.  Why? Because Jesus also told us to go according to Matthew 28:19-20.  His Will is also that none should perish according to 2 Peter 3:9. We must take The Gospel to the unreached, because “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2

OUR GOAL

Our goal is simple, to preach Jesus Christ to those who have not heard.  To disciple those that receive Jesus and then to plant churches and train leaders for that church.  Our handbook for this is found in I & II Timothy and The Book of Titus.

As part of our goal, we have a vision of a Bible Institute, where men and women can be trained to work as leaders in churches and to go as missionaries, according to scripture.

There is a large Roman Catholic presence in Peru along with many other religious groups.  There are many areas, that need to hear the TRUTH of the GOSPEL.

Since there are currently no Independent Baptist churches in Tarapoto, Peru, a doctrinally sound local church is desperately needed. Also, a Bible institute is essential to equipping future pastors with a firm foundation of truth.

THE MISSIONARY

We believe biblical missions work is centered on church planting and that the New Testament church has been given the responsibility to start other New Testament churches. That is why local Baptist churches send out missionaries to win souls and build churches.

If we do the planting and supporting churches do the watering, God will give the increase, “for we are laborers together with God.”
