Our Ministry Partners

Rodolfo Rojas is a lawyer in Iquitos, Peru, and runs a children’s home called Casa Hogar Genesis.  Rodolfo’s purpose for the children’s home is to come alongside families in crisis with the goal of rehabilitation and family restoration.  Children who need a place to live while their parent(s) is in jail or rehab stay at Casa Hogar Genesis.  Through partnerships with the Peruvian government, as well as the legal system, Rodolfo works with and alongside the family members needing help, as well as advocating for the children within the legal system.  He wants to make sure the kids have a safe place to stay until they can hopefully be reunited with their family members.  When LIM team members are in Iquitos, we engage with the children through outside games, crafts, conversations and activities.

La Familia de Dios

San Juan, Peru

Pastor Rafael Murayari Curi and his wife, Delphina, lead a church (La Familia de Dios) in San Juan, Peru, along the Chambira River.  San Juan is one day’s boat ride from where we initially get on a boat to leave for the Urarina villages.  LIM stores our camping and ministry supplies at their house year-round.  Although San Juan is not an Urarina village, Urarinas regulary come through there, and Pastor Rafael faithfully teaches them the Word of God through worship and Bible teaching.  Pastor Rafael has planted several churches along the Chambira river as well.  He often hosts and leads pastoral and discipleship conferences.  LIM short-term mission trip team members have the privilege of staying at Pastor Rafael and Delphina’s house one night each trip as we head out to the Urarina villages and another night on our way back to Nauta.  Funds given in support of Pastor Rafael’s ministry go towards such costs as church and mission supplies, operating costs, ministry travel expenses, etc.

Chambira River Church (Urarina)

Caimituyo, Peru

Pastor Lorenzo is an Urarina pastor in the village of Caimituyo along the Chambira River, deep in the Amazon jungle.  Pastor Lorenzo not only faithfully leads his own church congregation through weekly worship and Bible teaching, but he also disciples other believers and pastors in neighboring Urarina villages, especially those without a church presence.  LIM short term mission trip team members not only serve alongside Pastor Lorenzo when out in the Urarina villages, but we also lead his congregation in evangelism and discipleship activities when there.  Pastor Lorenzo travels with us when we go from village to village, teaching among the Urarina.  He sometimes acts as a translator, taking what is said in Spanish and translating it to Urarina.  Funds given in support of Pastor Lorenzo’s ministry go towards such costs as church and mission supplies, building repair and maintenance, ministry travel expenses, etc.

Jungle English School

South Asia

S.P. (initials included for security purposes) is a missions catalyst in south Asia who runs an English school in a very impoverished area.  His school is the only educational option for the families in the area, and he charges minimal tuition so that more children can get an education.  Since being in the area, S.P. has learned that there are a number of churches serving the indigenous population that are far off track with operating as a church and as followers of Jesus Christ.  Multiple churches are being served by a single pastor who is unqualified and likely is not a believer.  Since learning this, S.P. has hosted conferences, discipled leaders in the area, and worked on his own to strengthen the churches while running his school.  This has presented a major challenge for him, and he needs additional workers to disciple the population, raise leaders, and plant healthy churches.  The school provides a platform for spreading the Gospel in the area, and it also needs support to be able to expand the ministry and provide covering for additional workers.  This need specifically is in the area of additional, needed buildings to serve the growing student population.
