ABOUT SHORT TERM TEAMS:

Every year, we take a limited number of mission teams to Peru from the United States. These teams all must be approved through our mission office and must meet certain criteria before they can be sponsored through Message Ministries and Missions Inc. All of our mission work is done under the auspices of local, indigenous Peruvian churches. We make sure a team can meet a real need in the field. We do most of our ministry work in and around the Lima, Peru area. Teams operate best when they come out of a local church, youth group, school, or similar group. However, we do occasionally offer some “jump aboard” teams for those whose churches or other groups do not offer short-term mission opportunities. We also offer, and usually require, mission preparation and training. We want you to be trained and ready — when you hit the ground — to achieve what you have worked so hard to come and do. Some of the opportunities we offer are:

  • Building of prefab homes for needy families
  • Evangelism on the streets
  • Evangelism in public schools (For this you need to prepare in Drama or Music as well as Spanish)
  • VBS ministry opportunities
  • Feeding Center Ministry: We have ten centers in Lima, Peru
  • Ministry in local Peruvian Churches
  • Eyeglass/Clinic Outreaches in the poor neighborhoods
