A Cultural Epicenter

With over 1.2 million residents, Arequipa is Peru’s second largest city.  It is also Peru’s second most industrialized and commercialized city.  Arequipa hosts a variety of universities and is home to many important political, intellectual, and religious figures throughout history.  

Arequipa was originally established in August 1540.  In that time, it has been the site of 14 different political revolutions that have dramatically impacted Peru’s cultural landscape.    Today, it serves as the seat for Peru’s Constitutional Court and the city’s rich heritage makes it a major tourist attraction.

What We’re Doing

By every measure, Arequipa is a critical city.  If you reach Arequipa, you can reach Peru.  Its societal importance cannot be overstated.

On this expedition, we will host a series of eye care clinics in the city where residents can receive free exams and eyeglasses.  As we serve the people, it will provide new opportunities to share the Gospel with them.

Meanwhile, we will follow up with new churches that were recently established in the city.  You will have the opportunity to meet new believers who are taking their first steps as followers of Christ.  We will partner with them to establish second generation churches in the community and invite new people into a relationship with Jesus.  

God is doing incredible things in Arequipa.  The story has just begun and you can be a part of it.  In just one week, you can spread the Gospel, encourage new believers, and establish new churches in an otherwise unreached community.
