Our Story Para Perú is a non-profit organization devoted to spreading the Gospel across Peru. Its name reflects its purpose, “para” means “for” in Spanish, framing a ministry entirely oriented toward the Peruvian people. Founded on the Biblical mandate to share God’s love, the organization provides resources and encouragement for evangelism and discipleship. Lauren Robertson, the missionary at the helm, originally planned a short-term mission trip but relocated cross-continentally and has now lived for more than eight years among the spiritually and physically impoverished residents of the Ventanilla District. She and her team share the Good News of Jesus Christ daily, operating from a statement of faith rooted in Scripture. Programs & Trainings Weekly Bible Studies, Regular scripture-based gatherings held in local communities to study the Bible and build fellowship. Discipleship Classes, Structured courses aimed at deepening believers’ faith and preparing them to share the Gospel with others. Quarterly Birthday Celebrations, Community events organized four times a year to honor church members and strengthen interpersonal bonds. Annual Youth Retreat, A dedicated yearly retreat for young people, focusing on spiritual growth, worship, and community connection. Christmas in Peru, The ministry’s flagship seasonal event, providing large-scale holiday outreach and celebration for the local community. Baptism Services, Ceremonial gatherings for new believers, referenced alongside birthdays and beach outings as key community milestones. Current National Events, Periodic programming that connects the ministry with broader national happenings and larger gatherings. Small Group Meetings, Neighborhood-level group sessions facilitating closer discipleship, prayer, and mutual encouragement. Missionary Field Immersion, Long-term residence model in which missionaries live daily among the local population, transitioning from short-term visitors to permanent community members.

Specialties Evangelism and Gospel outreach in impoverished urban districts Cross-cultural missionary residence and fieldwork Discipleship and spiritual mentorship for local believers Youth engagement through retreats and dedicated programming Holistic ministry addressing spiritual, physical, and emotional needs Event-driven community building and seasonal celebration Multi-site coordination across several neighborhood locations Methods & Approach The ministry practices an incarnational, relational model: missionaries reside directly in the communities they serve, embedding themselves in the daily life of Ventanilla and beyond. Instruction is scripture-centered, combining formal teaching through weekly Bible studies and discipleship classes with informal fellowship during birthdays, retreats, and holiday events. A key strategic pillar is training Peruvians to disciple others, creating a multiplier effect for outreach. Storytelling and visual documentation are integral to the ministry’s method, with photography by Rachel Lynn Photography and video productions set to worship music such as “Spirit Pour Out” by Andy & Rachel Graham used to communicate the mission to a global support base. Who It's For The ministry primarily serves Peruvians in spiritually and physically impoverished areas, notably the Ventanilla District and satellite neighborhoods including Huaral, Keiko, Calle Diez, and Villa Los Reyes. It engages church members, youth, and families seeking spiritual community, as well as prospective missionaries and international supporters interested in volunteerism, financial partnership, or prayer support. Participants range from new seekers attending their first Bible study to established believers being trained as disciple-makers and outreach leaders. Facilities & Practical Info Activities are hosted in community venues across multiple districts rather than a single centralized facility. The ministry maintains a WordPress-based website with a blog that publishes field reports such as “Dias Peruanas,” “Noticias de Abril,” “March Madness,” and updates on baptisms, birthdays, and U.S. travel. Supporters can subscribe to monthly updates via an email newsletter. Content is presented in English for international audiences, with local programming delivered in Spanish. Event schedules vary throughout the year, anchored by weekly studies and quarterly or annual special events.
