Confronting Peru - Aventura Misionera Peru
Richard & Heather Roper - Monday 09 July 2007
What would you do if you saw first hand, the exploitation of local communities by the logging and oil companies?
Exploitation will of course contribute to a sense of loss of personal identity, a loss of pride as well as a suspicion of strangers.
With these pictures in their minds the hearts of the Aventura Misionera Peru team were even more galvanized into making sure that the message that was freely given in order that it should be freely received, the message of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ, can be heard by all.
With the help of local churches and the permission of the village chef's, off our team went to try get God's word of Hope into those who most yearn for it. But as Alex says on this video "what good is a Bible to people who cannot or choose not to read".
This video is a very short summary of some the adventures and challenges that one of our short term mission teams experienced. A perfect opportunity for anybody wanting to know what what mission is all about. In a few week you will learn more about real mission work than any text can tell you.
The good news of Jesus Christ was meant to be heard.
Don't watch this video unless you plan on being challenged!
