Delivering Good News to distant and forgotten people
We are returning to the scene of the climb, a trek in the northern reaches of the Cordillera Blanca we visited in 2015. We had planned to GO there in 2022, but that was not God's plan (Proverbs 16:9). Mission: Peru 2022 was rescheduled for 2023 because of serious illnesses in the family of our national worker.
Delivering Good News to distant and forgotten people
We are returning to the scene of the climb, a trek in the northern reaches of the Cordillera Blanca we visited in 2015. This trip is cancelled until 2023.
