Timeline and Important Dates

We realize that fully establishing a strong, self-supporting church in Cusco will require a tremendous amount of prayer and work and will take a collaborative effort of at least fifteen years. We are committing to stay on site in Cusco, Peru for a minimum of five years. At the conclusion of 5 years, we will reevaluate our needs to continue in this work.
