Mission – Ministry – Life
I learned some unexpected things in Peru. But what did I learn that might help back in the UK? Of course, I’ve come back to work for Latin Link but if I was going back to lead a local church I think these are some of the lessons I’d be putting into practice. Integral mission:... Continue Reading →
We’ve been back from South America for a couple of weeks now and as I settle into my new role I’ve been reflecting on things I hadn’t expected to learn during my time in Peru. Language and culture I knew that I needed to learn more Spanish but hadn’t really grasped how much of this... Continue Reading →

In less than two weeks we will be back in the UK for a few months and are keen to take up opportunities to talk about our work in Perú and about mission more generally. If you would like to invite us please drop us a line. Or leave a message in the comments section... Continue Reading →
We had a meeting this week to think about evaluating the new training course and how we can continue to improve what we do. It was a good moment to take stock of some of the things that have changed over the last 18 months. Our focus has changed towards developing the skills and character... Continue Reading →
