Building for the Future: Our Church & Youth Camp Project in Arequipa
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” – Psalm 127:1
God has placed a great vision in our hearts—to establish a place where His name will be glorified, where His people can gather in worship and fellowship, and where young lives will be transformed through biblical teaching.
In Arequipa, Peru, we are in the process of constructing a church building and a youth camp facility that will serve not only our congregation but also the wider community. This project is a significant step forward in our mission to share the gospel and disciple believers of all ages.
A Unique Construction: Built by Faith, Built by Our Church Family
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that our church members themselves are building it! With their own hands, they are working hard to construct a place where future generations will worship and grow in Christ.
We are building using shipping containers and a metallic structure, which allows us to create a strong, durable, and cost-effective building that will serve both as a church and a place for our annual youth camps. It’s a unique and innovative way to build a facility that will stand for years to come, impacting countless lives.
A Project with Eternal Impact
This construction project is about building a spiritual legacy. Once completed, this facility will be a place where:
✅ The Church Gathers – A permanent home for our congregation, where we can worship freely, grow in the Word, and strengthen our faith.
✅ Youth Find Christ – Every year, we will host youth camps where young people can come, hear the gospel, and make life-changing decisions for Christ.
✅ Ministries Flourish – With a completed building, we can expand our outreach efforts, hold Bible conferences, discipleship programs, and more.
Current Progress
By God’s grace, we have completed the first and second floors of the building. Right now, we are holding our church services on the second floor, but there is still much to be done before the full project is completed.
The next step is to continue building additional floors and completing necessary structures that will allow us to maximize the use of this space.
